Hi again,
I use my smoker outside on the patio. This isn't a big problem until it gets cold and windy outside. Boy does it get cold and windy-especially windy in Oklahoma. I devised an insulated cover for my smoker to keep the wind and cold off my smoker in the Winter. It seems to really help keep a constant temp and decrease smoking time in the Winter months. I took a big wardrobe box (we just moved from MI to OKC and had a lot of them laying around), some 3/4 inch foam panels and Liquid Nails from Lowes and pretty much made an insulated cover for my smoker.
I know that these smokers are insulated already but I do notice the difference when I use it. You make want to check with Stuart to see if this is a harmful to your Smokette.
This was really easy to make. I cut the flaps off the bottom of the box and cut some vents near the bottom for airflow. I also made a small opening on the top of the box so smoke and steam could escape. This is also a great place to sit your digtal thermometer.
Let me know if you want more details. I'll email you pictures if you want.
