Nice. That's some juicy meat.

I'm shooting for the weekend after this for my last smoke of the year. Haven't decided on the menu.

I want a pork belly involved. I haven't done one all year. Need some meat candy.

That's actually what I'm making.

Yeah, winter = insufflation for me. Too cold out to light the spoon.

Gotcha.

I will usually go all year round as long as there are no storms or if it's very windy.

A better way to put it - this would be my last all-nighter of the year until next March.

It don't work like that. Prepare to give up on life.

All year long for me. If it is cold, windy or rainy I put the smoker in the garage. Prop the door open about a foot high and use a fan for circulation. I do however avoid the long smokes (i.e. brisket) because they take even longer when it's cold.

i straight stick burn in an uninsulated cooker. the temp swings are wild below 30-40 degrees. got a chubby on my wishlist which will mitigate this but thats probably another year away. plus october - feb is straight fishing weather we are frying fish more than anything during that time.

i lied.

smoked 2 briskets today.

That looks outstanding.
