Are you using water in the WSM as well? That will use a lot more fuel in cold weather. A waterless/sandless WSM with a guru could be all you need.

You see lump charcoal is essentially wood, so yo uwill still get some smoke flavour. It also depends upon the type/brand of charcoal you are using, as it could add different flavours. When I first got my keg, my wife complain of 'smoky taste' at first. To prove it, I purchased a package of pork tenderloin (2 in the pack) and cooked one on the Keg with just Weekend Warrior lump and the other on the gasser without her knowing. She prefered the one done on the Keg and asked if I oven roasted the other one :shocked: Now she is pro-charcoal ... except for me smelling all smokey all of the time :becky: |

i love all three of my BGE's and i don't even know how to cook.
i say go with the BGE for all the reasons you stated. the burn hot and fast or slow and low and for long periods of time and are seemingly impervious to ambient temps. |

You won't need sand if you use a guru/stoker. Sand is used as a heat sink to help regulate temps but with a guru you won't need it. Just line your water pan with foil and let 'er rip! |
I used my UDS all winter long...I also bought a Water Heater Blanket for it butI have never needed to use it.

look at a ceramic, or if you want more capacity look at a gravity feed cooker like stumps, superior, etc. If you liked your WSM (great little cooker), you will like a ceramic (Primo, BGE, or even a bubba).

I'm sort of a collector, and I have several different kinds of smokers: offset, gravity feed, kettle, gasser and ceramic. Without a doubt, the large BGE is my 'go to' winter time cooker. Very fuel efficient with long burn times and consistent temperatures. It's easy to set up and easy to clean. I do use the Guru on windy days. For a quick burger or hot dog, I'll go with the gasser, but for great BBQ flavor, the Egg delivers.

I've used a Steel vertical smoker, A cheapo knock off ceramic, a Gasser and a LBGE.
The Big green egg is by far the best! Low and slow, hot and fast an oven etc... I don't have a stoker I also sometimes take a few hour nap with no temp problems. |
I love my Primo Oval XL with a Maverick ET-73 remote smoker thermometer.
