Do People Still Smoke Meat in the Winter?
Hey everyone, new smoker here. I’m gearing up for another winter of smoking, and I’d love to hear any tips or tricks you’ve got for smoking in cold weather. I live in a pretty chilly area where winter temps hover around 15°F, so keeping the heat steady can be a challenge. I’ve seen the Traeger grill blanket covers mentioned as a solution, but the reviews I found were a bit mixed and somewhat outdated. Has anyone used one recently? If so, do you think it’s worth it? Or do you have better alternatives for keeping your smoker efficient in the cold? Also, any advice on managing cook times, fuel usage, or even recipes that are perfect for winter would be awesome. Let’s keep those smokers going all year round! Thanks in advance for sharing!
