When the weather turns cold, George, what I do is forgo the side cooker and arrange my coals in the main grill.

You still want to use indirect heat, of course. But their proximity helps maintain the temperature.

Well my grill is propane so that really isn't a problem in the winter. My smoker is a stand along tall smoker...I really don't have a problem using it in the winter, but if the wind is strong it just seems to push the temp down on the inside of the smoker and I just have to use more charcoal than I do in the summer.....still worth it though.

Smoking in the cold or in wind,
I had problems with all of this and found a great and cheap fix it. I have a stand up smoker not to big 4 feet tall with a open bottum feeder for your fire, anyway's I bought some cinderblocks and stacked them around the base 2 feet high and it kept the wind and cold out . It even kept some heat at the base ( fake summer temps )...

Old Bay , the ribs you want are indeed cut from the whole rib roast. Short ribs are cut from these same ribs as well. Just ask your butcher to save a few racks for you before cutting them up
