Hi, I am new to the forum. I live in the mountains at 8000 feet, and I'm looking for advice on the best grills and smokers for cold, snowy, and very windy conditions. Wind is a year-round challenge at our place. I've explored the website, including the great ideas for windbreaks that are shown in the "Cold Weather Grilling and Smoking" section. I've been using a Nexgrill (Home Depot) 4 burner gas grill for several years (it was left by the previous owner of the house). I am looking to supplement and/or replace the Nexgrill with a charcoal smoker/grill.
My primary questions:
1. Do the insulating properties of the ceramic cookers make them the best choice in this environment?
2. Do the thermostat controlled pellet cookers (Traeger, etc) offer any advantages in very cold and windy conditions?
3. How do insulated kettles such as the Weber Summit perform in cold and wind?
Thanks!
