Getting prepped to do a pork shoulder in the big cheif smoker tomorrow. Because our climes aren't getting any warmer any time soon (according to sundance anyway) I was wondering if anyone has had any luck insulating these guys. And if so what kind of temperatures were you getting?

I was planning on making an ugly leaky wood box, with possibly some insulation on the inside. Just don't know what to expect.

Also curious if anybody has swapped out the element for something larger and perhaps thermostatically controlled?

Lastly for the short term after this delicious round pork nugget is smoked up I was going to double wrap it in tinfoil and sit it in the BBQ over indirect heat to get it to temp. Am I setting myself up for failure or what? Would rather not use the oven as it's already going to be 30c tomorrow.

any advice is always much appreciated.

Thanks folks
