    cold weather smoking question

    So its to my understand the bowl and lid of the WSM and porcelain, should there been concern about cracking when smoking in cold temperatures? Outside temp will be around 0F. I am thinking the only risk would be when the fire is initially started.

    Your butt(s)

    So, reading through people's post they smoke their butts at a variety of different temperatures. Me: I aim for 225F. If I want to do a faster butt I will cook at 250F, until I reach an internal temp of 160, then foil with a little AJ in it. So what do you guy's do?

    Wife: Can you smoke a chicken for lunch? Husband: Is this a trick question? Used cherry wood this time - I found it a little more subtle in flavor than the hickory.
