My PK-100 and Masterbuilt smokers in my garage with venting to stove exhaust hood piped outside.
I modified both units to use the Auber WIFI programmable stepped controller. Auber unit can be programmed to store programs with up to 7 steps. Each step can be set to either time or temperature. Simply pick the program, hit start and it tells you when its finished. All you need to do is add the sawdust and manually control the dampers.

It might take a little longer to get up to temp and you want to minimize the number of times you open the door.

Especially if its in your garage out of the wind. I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

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.

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.
