Cold butt on wsm

I'm testing out the new cb door and the wsm in 5 degree weather. All vents wide open and no water at this point. I figured I would try to see how high I can get temp in this cold weather before dialing back. Loaded with cold meat and cold weather outside I'm guessing it might struggle until the meat warms. I put the meat on around 830.





Vents all froze shut until I got a little heat going.

Door is a beauty. A few more cooks and it will be all sealed up. That little bit is nothing.

Thanks guys.  I love the new door. I'm sitting at 176 after 9 hours. Just getting through the stall. This is the first pork butt I have done without wrapping.

Looks good to me! Love that bark. With the cold, have you had to adjust the vents much?

Not much. I ran wide open the first 6 hours. First 2 hours temp was 225 then started to climb as the meat warmed. Pretty much stabilized at 250 then started to climb. I closed one of the bottom vents and has been riding at 260 since. I've added a little fuel every 2 hours. I was watching very closely today given the temperature but it's been very stable.

Wife said "No more GRILLS in this house!" So I bought a 2nd house!

Thanks guys, this was a really fun cook. I anticipated correctly on how the cold would affect the cook and I accomplished another first of riding out the stall instead of wrapping. Also got to use the new food saver on the leftovers. And drank a bunch of beer

Drinking beer is part of the fun.
