My goal is to have a Kamodo Joe before late fall. I am going to really need to figure out the appropriate angle to hit the wife up with this idea considering this will be my fourth cooking item!!!

^^^ Thinking I'll be saving my pennies for one. I'm burning way too much wood and lump in the Char Griller... Time to switch I think.

As for "switch" keep your offset as long as you have a reliable source for wood. You never know when you need more space and its nice to have different options for cooking different things, plus you do not have a ton invested in it and resale price sucks.. |

for me gasser stays for the Mrs. She and I hate meat on the stove and grill all year. It is quick, easy and no fuss for her.
The WSM 22.5 is going to be my spring/summer/fall toy to use when I have time to burn or larger groups. Gonna drop the OTG eventually (booooo) for a ceramic. All reading over past week has led me to the big joe. I know most hobbies are live and learn, however, wish that I wasnt so affraid to spend the cash up front. Now I know that the ceramic is the right machine for me and need to save up for it. The KJ will be my go to. My one stop shop for Q. Searing, indirect, low and slow, and regular grilling. 24" grill will give tons of room for the 4 of us I cook for 99% of the time.

I have smoked on my WSMs many times in the winter. There is nothing like the smell of BBQ on a freezing winter night.

I smoke pretty much year round in my WSM. The only reason not to is when there is too much snow to shovel to get to the WSM tucked in the corner of my yard. This year I may get smart and bring the smoker closer to the door for winter time.

I use my ceramic in the winter. As much as I love my kettle it doesn't get much in the cold.

I use my WSMs and Weber kettles year round.
I have no documentation, but I know I have cooked at colder than -20. Just need to set up wind screens if it's a little breezy.

I use Weber's during the warm months and a Yoder YS640 with a thermal jacket for the cold months.

I use a moving blanket over the cooking section of my Offset. This will be my first winter with a UDS and I'm hoping I will smoke more in the cold. Rock

Bolt a water heater jacket on that CG's smoke locker and build an A/I frame to seal the lid like this.

Blu, that's just the problem. I keep adding and adding things to make it better, but the end result will still not be as good as an Akorn or Egg in cold temps. It eats wood and lump like it's twigs...
