I would agree with your assessment that smoking in cold temperatures is a little nuts! With that said I am use to smoking year round and according to the queen i may be a little unstable
Went fine , did not need the blanket but did learn grommets get hot . Did use more wood but I used the charcoal basket to get a good bed of coals and it held temp just fine . Started my 3 burner propane heater and set it about 6 feet away and it was a little to warm . With all that said between...

I always start with the Fat down for the 1st hour or so then flip for the remainder of the smoke . This seems to give me a more uniformed bark .
IMHO ?
I bought a Tenderloin on sale the other day 3.5lb $ 23 bucks Great Deal ! Now I knew I wanted to smoke it but had never done one and did not want to screw it up . Did a search and found Bears step by step . Of course I changed a couple of things but it turned out perfect , Really appreciate...
You have to get creative in competitions , I have been to a couple (not competing myself ) and like seeing all the generic bottles of rubs and spices that the competitors use hiding their secrets from everyone else !
