Searwood - Yea or Nay?

That’s cold. I saw those temps when I lived in Ohio, but not so much down here. Hope your smoker handled it well.

Nope, it didn't. You can see my post(s) at the end of Mark Cuda's thread above. But, I got it done. (the steak). The Member's Mark performs a lot better in this stuff. It's smaller with less venting at the rear. If it wasn't so damn cold I'd pull the hopper off BigZ and maybe replace the auger motor with one of those higher speed motors that move a lot more pellets in less time. I think Smoke Daddy sells them. IIRC they're 2 RPM vs 1 RPM. This way if the PID calls for motor rotation for a certain time it should deliver twice the pellet volume.

We'll have to agree to disagree then. Perhaps its my Broil King. I've taken to add wood dust trays to increase the 'smokeyness'. Cooked fair few briskets on my WSM, can't get a similar bark on my BK.

You can mix some charcoal pellets in
