This is precisely why I bought a Kamado #7, Ceramic cookers just laugh
the weather off.
I've done pork butt, ribs and brisket in the middle of January during
subzero temperatures in Upstate, NY. I have a job where I can work
from home (bad weather, expecting deliverys...). The kamado sending up
hickory smoke while snow is coming down is just avout the prettiest my
patio gets.
One does have to be careful even with a ceramic cooker that the draft
door is pointed away from the wind. Hard driving wind can force air to
the coals and drive the temperature up.
I think if one can manage to keep the wind blocked and take care to
keep the temperature constant, this would be possible in WSM types of
smokers but if you want to Q in the middle of the winter up North,
you've got it bad enough that you'll eventually end up with a K.
