Hi. I was considering buying a BS and was wondering how cold was too cold for smoking. Would 20-30C below zero be too cold out to use the smoker if it was placed in a shed so that wind chill wasn't a factor? It would be used mainly for jerky and fish. Thanks in advance.
Go for it. I don't get that cold here near Placerville, but other folks who do still smoke year round. It is a great smoker and your only regrets will be you didn't act earlier to get it.

Where do you live.
I have at 9500 ft...we have 20 plus inches of snow already....and I smoked last weekend. takes a bit longer...and the temp does not get really hot....but i had no problems...of course my heat was 3/4 to 7/8 full all the time.
I live in Iowa where it gets really cold and have had no problems maintaining 200-220 Deg.
Be a good time to smoke some bricks of Cheddar Cheese.
Go for it.

I think the question should be where do you live ANDY?
If you don't mind tell us a little about yourself. What do people do at 9500ft, you don't have to fill us in on the private stuff. With that much snow already, I could only think of a couple things and I'm sure one of them is smoking.
SmokeOn,
