Al, Do you miss the snow and Nor'Easters ??/
No I'm not ready for that. I'd just like to see an 80 degree day.

Be careful what you wish for, Al.Gosh I would love to have just a bit of that cool weather, It's been in the 90's everyday.

Thanks for all the tips!! I've seen the insulated blankets before, but wasn't sure how effective they would be in -40 temperatures, so I've been a bit skeptical about them.
In all honesty, I think I'll still pack it up for the winter because I'm a giant wuss (Even for a Canadian) and I don't really want to shovel the backyard snow just to get at my smoker if I decide to use it.
I'll make sure hubby keeps his word though, and next winter will be more productive.

When your husband does build the she shed don't insure it with State Farm. Cherly is still on tv complaining about someone burning down hers.

Smoker put away? No problem. PoukieBear will still be here. A hibernating smoker offers a great time to catalogue ideas for the Spring thaw. And you can always test those ideas in the oven.
We don't get super-cold here in SE Central Texas, but the mid-20's is not all that unusual. We use 100% cinder block pits for everything from cold smokes to whole hog and brisket in sub 32F weather with no issues. BUT ..... that cinder block is alot more thermal efficient than the WSM.I do live in ND. and my friends use an ol worn out kettle grill or big metal farm buckets or make em, n put theres in the old n [cut out the vents],for insulation some even put pea gravel to fill space n insulation. it really doesn't have to cover the the unit even a 1/4 is good for air flow. way better n a smoke shed full of eye wrechting fog.. and dang I used to watch the farm shows from Canada and they invent every dang farm implement n big ways to do things with just junk piles .ask the farmer for help
