Yeah it takes a little longer to warm all that metal up in cold weather. I agree...In cold weather I go through a lot of wood.Yes they do hardcooking. This one runs well at 225 to 250. Only down side is that it will eat some logs very fast! Not to mention it will get down to 32 degrees tonight, so there goes even more wood! Lol but I am ready. Beer and a heater in my garage with some [emoji]128250[/emoji] to watch.
