Sub-Zero Smoking
I'm just about out of pulled pork, and would like to make some more.
Has anybody fired up a WSM in subzero weather? I'm in Northern Wisconsin, and it's 3 below right now. It may go up a few degrees, but it's more likely that we'll go down even further. I've got plenty of Wicked Good charcoal, but have never tried to use it in such cold weather. I really don't want to run out of pulled pork! |

I think my coldest cook was about 5 above. The thing I have played with is the water pan. I usually run my WSM with sand in the pan. In real cold weather this seems to be a bit too much of a heat sink, so I just foil the empty pan. Keep it out of the wind and go for it!

The biggest factor is the wind as David said. If it's a calm day, no problem. If it's windy put something by the WSM to block the wind. Of course it helps if you have a wireless thermometer so you can monitor the meat and grate temps from the comfort of your couch. I'm really gonna break down and install a Guru on my WSM one of these days... -- Steve |

Thanks for all your replies. It's 17 below right now (with 5 mph wind) as I
type this, but I'll get going later today no matter what the temperature is! I've never seen Wicked Good charcoal around here (Burnett County, Wisconsin). I buy mine from www.wickedgoodcharcoal.com.

I've been buying Wicked Good in the 3-bag boxes, just to try it out.
My next purchase will be a full pallet. I really love the stuff, for both BBQ and grilling. I've had great results with briskets and pulled pork, and New York Strips come out absolutely wonderful.
