Lots of good comments, and as luke duke said, may be to cold for the operator but not the stick burner. I threw it out there in part because there was a thread a while back suggesting had to go to pellet pooper and leave the the stick burner as it had turned colder. Not so for many of us. Thanks.

I also have a snow shovel on the deck to clear a path to the smoker.

LOL!

My wife gets on me when it snows because the first thing I shovel out is a path to my cookers. :-D

It's never too cold to Smoke.
What do I know... I live in Alabama, we don't have much Winter.
I sometimes wear a coat over a T-shirt in the Winter.
I also cheat. My Smokers are under a Tin roof and pretty much wind protected.

I've made the mistake in the past of adjusting my cook for extreme cold in my WSM (usually running it PBC-style) and overcooking the meat. Beyond a slight intake adjustment, I have no problems cooking in even single digit temps. Wind is by far the bigger culprit.
