This ought to be interesting

Got a 10.5 lb bone-in turkey breast I'm smoking early for Christmas day at my sister's.  It's 6* F this morning but more importantly, they've forecast a wind chill alert with winds 10-20 mph!  Got the OBS pre-heating to 250* F, scalding water in the bowl, SG on and my brick soaking up the heat.  If I can get a few hours of smoke with some heat applied, I'll be happy.  Then I can move it to the house oven to finish.  I'll LYK how this un-modified OBS does today against the elements.

Good luck  :) :)

Due to time constraints, had to start it, 8:30 AM.  Box = 217* F.  Turkey = 57* F.  Box temp dropped to 162* F.

Back to 185* F after an hour.  Wind starting to come up.  At least the sun is out!

Always a thrill in our neck of the woods ain't it Ragweed?

That 6F sounds like heat wave. -15 at 7 o'clock this morning on my way to work. Windchill advisory until noon tomorrow.

After 2 hrs, 40 min, Box = 197* F, IT = 117* F, air temp now 5* F, wind picking up.  Thinking about moving to the house into the counter top roaster.

Tailfeathers, -15* F ?  Don't need that.  5* F is cold enough!!

Well it's warmed up some, only -9 now. Supposed to get clear up to -2 by mid afternoon before it starts to drop again.

That's why I live down south!  Well it looks like the OBS is gonna do just fine despite the below zero windchill.  Sitting at an IT of 144* F.  Box temp is 210* F.  Five hours in.  And just to prove I'm not cooking unicorn, here's a pic about 1 1/2 hours ago.

Sounds like a bunch of poor planning to me.

Ragweed-"down south" doesn't mean Nebraska to most folks, only those of hardy (or dumb) enough to live further north. Anyway, glad to see everything is working out for you.
