So my wife thinks I'm bonkers, but I am dying to cook something in my new PBC, even though the mercury is hovering around 20 degrees...
I'm thinking the outside temp shouldn't be a deal-breaker, I kind of just expect to add some extra time to my cooks or maybe crack the lid to jack up the internal temp a bit?
Anyone have any experience/advice on cooking with this thing in sub-freezing temps?

Go for it.

Block the wind and check your food temps.

It was 18 degrees and snowing a couple of nights ago when I put -2- split chickens in my PBC. They were cooked perfectly in 2 hours, just like when it is in the 60's.
Go for it, hang your meat...............

Yep! As the others stated don't let Mother Nature stop you!

I live in MN and typically cook outdoors year round. The biggest problem I have is wind - both for the cooker and for me (wind chill is a killer!) So if you can block the wind, everything else seems t work out ok - go for it!

I have cooked in temps as low as 30* without a problem so you should be fine.

Just got my coals going for a homemade pizza. Was kinda worried with freezing temps and snow falling. Coals are doing great

And you probably get to ride year 'round, too. Well, except maybe during Love Bug season ! ! !

Yep, leather jacket & chaps, and rainsuits have come in handy many times. I haven't given in to heated gear though.

Me either but I can see why there out there and would use them on some days.

If I lived in a colder climate and still wanted to ride in the winter I probably do it to.

I got my PBC for Christmas, I used it under cover in the cold rain (upper 30s, low 40s) as a first cook. Ribs and chicken were prefect. I did have to adjust the vent to be a little more open (289ft above sea level- wikipedia), but the chicken was the most moist I have ever had.
