Does the out side temperature affect the smoker and smoking times? If so is there any specialist jacket/cover you could put round? Maybe a hot water tank jacket?

Yes it does, apparently there are some custom jackets and blankets for certain smokers, I'd suggest a quick google............they can't touch you for it
Others have, as you suggest used hot water tank lagging.

The more I delve into the world of smokers the more I find out which makes more questions rise.

Im glad I joined Bbbqs loads of help its been.

Ordering all my equipment friday to mKe my first smoker.

Good luck Ben, hope all goes well

When it's really cold (like it was sat night) I just start of with a few more lit coals. That's normally good enough for me - haven't felt the need to go down the jacket route personally.

Im just glad that it can be done prwtty much all year round. Just a shame it can only truely be enjoyed in summer when having friends round.
