Hey guys,
I am a fairly inexperienced smoker. I got a brinkmann electric last year for my birthday and really enjoy the things I've done so far. which is not much since my birthday is in Nov. and it's been kinda cold. I am looking forward to learning a lot from you people.

Welcome to SMF from your neighbor to the west. In the upper midwest, winter smoking puts a new meaning to the term cold smoke !!!

Welcome to the forum. Winter....It's never too cold to eat great food, so why would it be too cold to smoke great food??????LOL

Enjoy the forum, it's a great place to learn. Everytime you take the advice from the awesome people here, you will notice the quality of your smoke get better. Trust me on that (personal experience).

Uff da! Too cold to smoke??? I think not. I useda live up dere in East Bethel and I smoked in the winter, right after I blew the snow off the patio.

By the time it's warm enough to sit by the smoker with a beer the mosquitos will be rampant.
Get to smokin' something!

Don't mind them, there just infected by all the smoke. Don't forget though, the smoker does put off heat so if you stand real close to it that will help keep you warm. Welcome.

Hey Chug: Don't let these guys raz you to much, I know what you mean, I work construction 10 hours a day, so when it's cold it's really hard to go out and tend a smoker. That's why my new one I'm building is electric, will be able to use it more in the winter as I'm keepin it in the shop!

Anyhow's, glad to have you, we don't live all that far from each other. Good luck, let us know what we can help with!
