Cold weather smoking

[Backyardsmoker]

Does the out side temperature affect the smoker and smoking times? If so is there any specialist jacket/cover you could put round? Maybe a hot water tank jacket?

Yes it does, apparently there are some custom jackets and blankets for certain smokers, I'd suggest a quick google............they can't touch you for it
Others have, as you suggest used hot water tank lagging.

The more I delve into the world of smokers the more I find out which makes more questions rise.

Im glad I joined Bbbqs loads of help its been.

Ordering all my equipment friday to mKe my first smoker.

When it's really cold (like it was sat night) I just start of with a few more lit coals. That's normally good enough for me - haven't felt the need to go down the jacket route personally.

Im just glad that it can be done prwtty much all year round. Just a shame it can only truely be enjoyed in summer when having friends round.
