Probably a stupid question, but....

the outside temp is supposed to fall to close to 10 degrees tonight and I plan on smoking 2 butts. Will this have any effect on maintaining my BGE temp at 200 - 225 degrees?

Whistleville Smoker,[p]Nope. Just load enough lump, build the fire appropriately and keep the temp closer to 225°F to 235°F. No need to run at 200°F.[p]Have fun,

Whistleville Smoker,[p]PUJ is correct - no effect from the cold, and avoid 200°. Use 225° as a min dome temp on all cooks and aim at 225-250° then bump it up more when your meat temp gets to the 170-180° area.[p]Tim
