Been a while since I've done a breast but I'm thinking at those weighs
and temperatures probably not much over 2 hours to a 165 dF internal
temp. I'm sure others with more recent experience will chime in. The
external temp won't affect cooktime if you leave the usit closed.

375degrees is 375 degrees, period. It may cause you to go through a
higher amount of fuel but that should be about it. A bigger problem
when cooking in cold conditions is wind. If it's a windy day put some
sort of wind break by the unit to shield it from the wind.
