Do any of you flowerpot cookers have any probs when it gets cold like that?

Wind & temperature affect will not materially a K's performance.

The only problem with ceramics is the cool down stage. One is better
to let the coals burn down to zilch with all vents open when the temps
are below freezing as opposed to "shutting it down". This prevents
condensation forming ice in the top of the dome. That will kill a K
and likely the other brands too.

Don't be too impressed, Harry. I was born and raised in the Detroit area.
Our family used to go to Point Pelee National Park which, if I'm not
mistaken, is the most southerly tip of that small section of Canada that
dips further south than the California/Oregon border. Used to love swimming
there. Terrific waves. The bird-watching is also above average. A very
nice place that still holds mostly fond memories.

A few years ago we went back to the Detroit area to visit family and see one
last baseball game at Tiger Stadium. We took our boys over to Point Pelee.
Alas, couldn't go swimming - some temporary pollution/bacteria problem had
closed the beaches. Oh well.

And there hasn't been any baseball in Detroit since. :-(
