[QUOTE="Brunello, post: 548069, member: 4458"] Since I'm fairly new on the forum I don't know (without diving deep into the archives) if something has been discussed before. There's probably not much new under the sun to talk about. But I wonder: How many here have to put up with the whims of weather to enjoy your pipes? I have two new blends that I'm eager to try, but by midday it is still only 34-degrees, and with a wicked wind chill that drops the real feel down into the 20s. I've tried smoking in my workshop twice - not a tiny space at 10 x 22 - but withing ten minutes I felt like I couldn't breathe and that was with a fan and filter and the door cracked. I got a quote from a contractor to cut a hole through the masonry wall to install an out-venting fan to draw the smoke away, but that's a major undertaking which seems a selfish indulgence just to enjoy my hobby. Between the hot, humid summers, and the cold, frigid winds up here on the mountain, it seems I often have to put piping on pause. We've already started looking at options of where to retire in five years, but the places we seem to be interested in have either blistering hot summers (like Arizona) or frigid winter conditions, and California is just too pricey to consider. How do you all manage? [/QUOTE]
