How do you brave the cold when smoking outside in winter? - Page 2

bsmokin · 08-09-2010, 11:10 AM

Good info guys... thanks!

I have a wife and kid at home... and the wifey wouldn't let me smoke inside even if I wanted to. She even gets upset when I smoke in the garage... although, that may have to be the answer this winter...

About 2 weeks for me too,using it a few hours a day at various settings.
I almost never use the high setting on the rosebud heater,and most of the time on the umbrella type heater.
BTW 90 bucks is a hell of a deal on the full size model you linked to Bryan.

During the cold Indiana winters, I smoke only at the local cigar bar and occasionally in the car. I love cigars but not enough to be uncomfortable while smoking.

SUCKS! I was about to order that damn heater I linked to and the site is down for maintenance!!! I think CA just bought up their entire stock of heaters...

Lots of winter gear on...inside a shed so the wind doesn't get me...petite corona or smaller sized smokes....

OR

Smoke while shoveling..

OR

Support your local B&M and smoke in there.

In past years I've never smoked during the winter. But this year I'm looking to fix up part of the basement for myself. My wife never goes down there anyway so I may install an exhaust fan in the window and a heavy curtain in the doorway between my work bench and the rest of the basement.

I have a electric furnace hanging in the garage. I only run it when I am planning on smoking which is greatly reduced during the winter. It's around 35,000 btu's and does a nice job of getting a 3 stall garage, insulated and rocked, to around 60-65 degree F in about 15 minutes or so. I bought it from a guy on craigslist for about $250 and paid my neighbor $50 to run the wires, he is an electrician. Works great for those cold Wisconsin winters. Helps melt the snow off the cars also.

I turned the sandbox from my kid's old playhouse into a firepit. I bundle up a bit and make a big fire. I sit right next to it and can stay warm enough.

This is in northern Colorado winters, mind you. The only time I'm not out there is if it's snowing or if the temp is less than -10 (-8 was rough, but I persevered).

I move from the patio to the garage where I have a parabolic heater when it's too cold for me.

Got one these for the garage.

I have to brave the heat when I'm smoking outside in the winter.

When I used to live in TN though, I had a ton of blankets.

I made a small cigar room in the basement. This was cheap and easy.

I installed a bathroom exhaust fan and vented it similar to how you would vent a clothes dryer. I purchased a couple roles of thick guage plastic from the painting department at Lowe's. I used a cable/romex stapler to secure everything to the bottom of the floor joists (to keep smoke from going upstairs) and then also hung the plastic from floor to ceiling (to keep the smoke from getting to the rest of the basement).

The only down side is that people think I'm running a meth lab when they see it the first time. All in all it only cost about $150 for everything.

This may be an option if you have a basement and are handy (...and also don't mind being called a hillbilly).
