I didn't think it was becasuse of the ambient outside temp but maybe it is???

I guess we'll have to wait for cooler ambients to tell for sure, but -- in theory, anyway -- the heating element should cycle on more frequently for a given setting when it's, say, 40 degrees outside versus 110 degrees outside. I'm guessing this would produce more rapid (or complete?) combustion of the wood.
