Same here. Gonna move the cooker around to the south side of the house and build a plywood wind break after work this afternoon.
 
Sounds like a Thanksgiving one year when I was out there freezing my a$$ off.

Don't forget - a smoker is a source of heat! <wink>

Good luck. Block that wind.
 
Heck, that ain't nothing. Its 28 out right now with winds blowing about 15-20 and its snowing sideways. Black ice all over the roads, glad I'm not making any long trips tonight or tomorrow.
Gonna fire the WSM up at about 5am, the low tonights supposed to be around 19.

I stocked up on Amoretta and beer today. Im thinking that will be on tap for the next 36 hours.
 
Gonna be about 70-73 in the kitchen in Fredericksburg tomorrow. After my bride puts the bird in the oven at 325 degrees for a few hrs, may have to open the kitchen window about 4 inches. Not knocking you guys that will be up at 5am, fighting the elements, just glad that our tradition here in Va is an oven cooked bird with too many trimmings and lots of family and brewskis.Here's thinkin of you all, hoping for your best bird ever, but as for me, I will enjoy my wifes smile knowing she has done another masterpiece in the kitchen with loads of gravy and leftover bird for sanmiches on Friday.
Happy Thanksgiving to all my brothers in smoke.

The damn wind is blowing pretty hard, the wind chill is 4 right now and we got almost 2 inches of snow last night. I'm sneaking home from work in 10 mins to fire up the WSM. Think this will be a good test to see how the temps hold.
Oh, and for the record, don't have to lug a cooler around to keep the beer cold, just threw the case out onto the deck, hope it doesn't freeze!

Good to see another who isn't afraid to Q in the cold, wind, and snow. This is normal winter Q weather fo us MIFO's!!! Right now it is 21*F with a wind chill factor of +3*. Wind is 28mph out of NNW with gusts up to 55mph! The turkey went on the Weber Performer at 6:00 this morning and the fatties and ham went in the 'dera at the same time. Nu-temp just went off so I need to go add more wood to the 'dera.
