Shame on you! ;-P

Hey there Jack...Well on my defense, at least I have 'some' smoked
stuff for winter carry-over. Better than nothin'.

Indian summer is about done here in CT and cold weather's coming up. As
for
smoking here, winter is way too long to do without freshly smoked meat
and
fish. Get a coat.

Don't have a problem with a coat, but do have a problem with keeping
the smoker stable around 225 deg...Which is why during the winter
months I grill, and the neighbor's give me a look like I'm crazy...Hey
look at that jerk, it's snowing outside and the fool is
grillin'...Yea, and your point is???

Cheers
Stan

Same here, but once they smell the cooking, they pipe down.

Visit your local Good Will and buy a few old blankets to wrap around your
cooker.

Stop by your local appliance shop and ask for the next big fridge/washer/etc
box they have for a wind shield.

Lastly, use more fuel and cook to a higher temp... it won't cool off below
225°F as fast.

I was thinking about getting one of those fireplace type screens (fine mesh) to
use for a wind break. Have you (or anyone) tried that?

I added a fan that blows more air into the fire, then rigged a
thermostat to turn it on and off at 225. Worked great.

Uhm, Larry... the idea is to stop the wind, not strain it.

Maybe he's tired of wind driven particles making his ribeye look like
chicken fried steak!

Maybe he's thinking of California in the old days -- "Never breathe air you
can't see." -- and he's trying to reduce the particle size. g

Not with one of these. I am hoping it would disperse the wind. I do like air
circulation when on the patio with a patio heater and smoker and/or grill
going.
But you can have too much of a good thing.
