Question
Cold weather operation
I live in ON, Canada and like to smoke when the temperature is in the 20's (F). Do you think I could hold 300 degrees (turkey) in that much cold?
I can deal with the mods to the chip pan, water pan, thermometer and door seal.

20's... with no wind, you could probably keep a constant temp of 250....which would be your lowest you would need to smoke in the winter....

I smoke all year around, live in Denver. I can hold 300 if the wind isn't too bad even colder than 20 out. It takes a while to reheat each time the door is opened.

if you add some cement board either inside it or to the outside, yes, that temp should be easy to reach

THis is solid, but at that low temp you would need to insulate with blankets or even rigid insulation. Again, any no insulated smoker would need to be insulated. Great product otherwise....

I live in quebec and I smoked a lot of things this winter even during very cold days. I can assure you it will be an easy job for this bad boy to heat at 300. At minus 20 celsius, a quarter turn of the heat control and I was able to cook at 225-250....a charm!

The only regulation in the owner manual is if the outside temperature is cooler than 65 F (18 C) and/or altitude is above 3,500 feet (1067m) additional cooking time may be required. You might encounter when smoking meat in the cold of winter is that you will need to add more heat to the smoker. Thanks
