Getting ready to make my Over The Top Chili and and ABT's and cant get smoker over 180. It is 18 degrees out but I would think it should go to 225? Getting ready to shift gears and just do on the stove. Going to give it another 30 minutes.
 
Well it finally made it and put food on. Looks like 225 going to be the max in cold weather. Should of added a smoke tube but just going with it. Let go a couple hours and bring inside to finish everything up.
 
Living in a colder climate, bump up your temp Brian. I’d roll between 275-300*

However, just a suggestion.
