Cold weather

[Kyrodan]

are these vertical digital smokers pointless and useless in cold weather. 30 degrees? If not, how long should it take to get to a decent temp? So far my opinion. Is these suck

Its November 23 rd and 35 out
Smoker is at 250 and set for 300.
That is the temp on the grate with the food on it. I dont worry about what the smoker says i use a separate digital thermometer that can do meat and rack temp. 40 bucks from lowes and i just adjust till i get the temp where i need it at the food.
