Default Cold Smoker

Now that winter is upon us, how do you deal with a cold, steel smoker?
Took quite a while for my Cabinet to get up to temp. last weekend.
I can't imagine how long a BIG smoker would take!

I have been known to take a weed burner to them to heat them up.

I just joined weed burner craze with my Vault. It came with the rig, it takes what used to be 40 minutes and drops it down to 2. With kids, time is so precious and I love that I can then build a smaller cleaner fire cause the steel is already 250

I have a small propane torpedo heater. I guess I can try that.
BTW, "Dreadnought" is a fine looking cooker.

Weed Burners are the answer to many problems, including cold steel.
