.....it is 39 degrees outside with 15-20mph wind gusts. Should I go for it anyway? I was thinking of doing something with a shorter cook time like a 5 pound chicken.

 

[Arun L.]

Yes, go for it.

Chicken sounds good.

fair enough! Worst case scenario is that ill need to run it a little hotter

Keep it 325o-350o.The cold won't matter but try to shelter it from the wind.

You want poultry to run hot anyways. Go For It!

How did it turn out?
