    Jonathon how well do you think the PK100 will do in a unheated garage in the Iowa winters?

      PapaSop Right now the only pics I can give you are of it in the box in the back of my Polaris Ranger. Planning on tomorrow morning after coffee to get it out and set up. Maybe test it out and season it up. I know out of the wind will help but not sure the 1 inch insulation can keep up.

          After coffee? Same here. I’m thinking it will absolutely stand the wind. My LP smoker not so much. Have to block the wind from it. Especially when it’s in the 20’s for a high and the wind is out of N/NW.

              Derek_D those units are so well insulated in wont even know its cooking in the winter. Especially if its in your garage out of the wind. I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

                                Just tried the screen shot option. Huge difference in file size. 👍

                                      Derek_D As others have said, the PK100 is very well insulated, so it should work well for you in an unheated garage over the winter. It might take a little longer to get up to temp and you want to minimize the number of times you open the door.
