Smoking in a Blizzard

policecom · Feb 10, 2008

Well, darn near a blizzard. Temp is -1 with a windchill of -26 degrees and what am I doing? I have my Smoke Vault fired up and I am smoking a load of meat. A brisket, some spare ribs and I threw in some brauts on the top rack just because I had the room to do it. They make a good snack while the rest of the stuff is going. My wife is looking at me like I am crazy. Oh, yeah...the wind is gusting to 50mph too. It is whipping that smoke all over the neighborhood!

Good man, PC!

I promised my wife I would come inside when I can't feel my fingers and toes

Richtee, we got about 4 inches last night, and we have 1-2 ft drifts in my yard. Usually I can just walk out to the shack in my house clothes, but with the temps and wind today, its deffinately a coat and shoes day.

Oh this is really good! The meats been on about an hour so I figured I would go out and take a look at how things are going...My meat thermometer is so cold the display doesn't work

Hell is froze over folks but got my summer sausage on the GOSM at 9:30am. Holding a steady 180o in 3o windy weather. Just went out and rotated the sausages. Geeze, that was unpleasant!

LOL...I have had that happen. Just leave the probe in and bring the unit inside with ya. Let it sit awhile by a heat vent..it's gonna have a little condensation in it you gotta let escape.

It's 9 below right now, we live in a low spot and the wind is blowing 25 MPH! Not fit for man nor beast! Glad I did my cooking yesterday!

What quarter of GR you in? I am in NW by the cemetary's on Walker. Just curious if thats you I smell on occasion, LOL!
You gotta be a die hard though, I am dreading a ride to the store let alone tending a smoker. Hope it turns out for ya!

policecom · Feb 10, 2008

I'm on the NE side of GR. Wind is picking up but my temp is holding steady at 225!

Impressive. I just went to the store for anti-freeze and darn near froze before I could drink some LOL Wings at 3:30, boiled dinner cooking and my Bud James B. Beam, Brrr... just heard a wind chill of -30°. About 10 min. to frostbite. Careful!
