How uncivilized that would be! I always keep some wood in
the house for just such an emergency! I can see the thermometer
from the back door without going outside.

Of course, I did have to empty the snow from the home-made
chimney starter I use, but hey, after shoveling my way to the
smoker, that was easy!

On a side note, I am pleased to say that I was able to maintain
a rock solid 325 degrees for hours on end, using Royal Oak
lump & apple wood chunks. The ribs came out perfectly!
