Smokin It Pro series 3.5 does not work in cold
...@chopsaw and @tallbm have a lot of experience with Auber PID settings. In cold weather wrapping your smoker in a welding blanket can help but I think your issues are more in line with the settings of your controller than with the ambient outside temps,the Smokin-It boxes are insulated.- normanaj

Hello from RI. As already mentioned a welding blanket can help, especially on the vertical smoker. -
Too cold, ambient temps not keeping up
...not be an issue even with wind,something isn't right if the max ambient temp is only 160.I've smoked with my MES in much colder weather without issue and when it gets into single digits wrapping with a welding blanket takes care of business. Can you confirm the ambient temp with a separate...- normanaj

Sitting Here all Morning Spending Money!
...from Harbor Freight. Bought a box each of X-Large and XX-Large nitrile gloves. The XXL fit perfectly over the white cotton gloves I wear when I'm on the grill. Also bought a 4'x6' welding blanket for $22 to wrap the pellet grill. Also looks like I can wrap it around the 18" Weber Smokey...- Up_In_Smoke

Tell me what to buy.... Cabelas
well I've heard people recommend a gasket for the door and they always say felt. In the camp chef xxl pro the smoke actual travels up then comes back down to go out a back vet. Also they use a wire mesh gasket around there smoke box- blair66

...hole you just started down. The people here are incredible people and darn good cooks. First thing I would suggest, and this is a forum of enablers :emoji_laughing:, would be a welding blanket to put over the grill if you plan to cook a bit in lower temps. It has done wonders for my pellet grill. -
What tools does a beginner need after getting an offset smoker? (BUDGET minded)
...to have a dual probe thermometer... one for meat temp, one for smoker temp. I have some Inkbird ones and two Smokes from Thermoworks. The Inkbird ones are cheaper but I like the Smokes better. Depending on where you live... a welding blanket to cover smoker if it's really cold outside. Ryan- Brokenhandle

Welding blanket and thermometer's like others have stated. I have had pretty decent luck with cheap thermometer's from Amazon, Inkbird in particular I have not had any major issues as long as I take care of them like not letting them sit in the rain for long periods of time.

Well, that sure escalated quickly huh Clara? lol. I'm in Northern British Columbia and certainly smoke less in the winter. The pellet poopers use up a lot more pellet, but like others have said, a welding blanket helps keep the heat in. -
Yummy Brisket (first time, curious about what you all would change/do)
...is done Also, once you wrap the meat smoke does not penetrate. I foil pan and cover with foil and into the kitchen oven. Why waste the pellets? I vac pack and freeze brisket every cook which is mostly once a year for me. A welding blanket over the Traeger insulation is an adder to keep the heat.- Fueling Around

I live in South Carolina. Temp usually hovers around 40-30 on the cold side in winter when I would be smoking. Is that too cold to smoke?- Stopsign32v

Graduated from WSM land....
Thanks for that. I actually got a big stack of rock wool sheets from a company called Zoro, and I plan to make a removable blanket setup to insulate the whole thing. Also, I degalvanized a pice of sheet metal to make a heat baffle plate, which is installed. It is cold and snowy here in the...- charswifterie

Should I use the thermal blanket to smoke tonight? Mid 60s for a low and patchy rain
I just use a welding blanket but run my Camp Chef right inside the barn doors so it's mostly out of the wind and rain. I crack the doors about as wide as the stack to let the smoke out. -

Coldest Outdoor Temp for Smoking
...at low temperatures than others, but any will use a bit more fuel than when smoking on a warmer day. Insulation, like a cheap welding blanket, thrown over the cook chamber will help. When I smoke cheese with my WSM (no cold smoke generator), I can ONLY do it when the temperature is below...- Smoke-Chem BBQ

...in Minnesota, it gets plenty cold here in winter, too, and I smoke right on. I keep my pellet smoker inside the doors on one end of my pole barn (covered with a welding blanket) and crack the doors to let the smoke out. I have a heated shop in the middle of the barn to keep warm in while... -
A Longhorn mod I haven't seen before
...dealing with it for years. I know its common to wrap the cook chamber to keep it warm, but has anyone tried a double wall or insulated stack? I'm thinking about wrapping it with a piece of welding blanket and then sliding a section of 4" stove pipe over the existing 3" stack. What do you think?- Bumppo
