I let the cheese get to room temp. Helps with condensation. I've seen some folks here add black pepper or red pepper flakes but have not tried it. Spices should stick easily to the cheese at room temp.
I'd be interested in how the pulled ham turns out. We usually bake it, then leftovers go for scalloped potatoes etc later. I also want to run one thru the slicer. Much cheaper than deli ham.
Give it a try and see how it works. Might use a few more pellets because of the cold. I don't use mine much anymore, but did not do anything different because of the cold.
If you enjoy the meat I would not worry too much about pellets. But, there are other options...a gas grill, charcoal chimney, cast iron pan, broiler etc can all be used for a quick sear.
With the money you save by not buying a Kamado or Weber Ranch you can certainly afford a lot of charcoal. Whatever direction the build takes you, I'm sure it will be a satisfying project.
It is not uncommon for larger channels to try and renegotiate fees. This leads the you tube/dish/direct tv to block the channels for a certain time period. They always come around and decide to work together. Each side will end up making more money and we'll pay more next year...
