I frequently cook in cold temps. Cold temps shouldn't prevent your charcoal from lighting. I normally use newspaper to start my chimney. I'm not familiar with the the Weber cubes.

You will burn a lot more charcoal to maintain heat, once you get going. But, your idea of a couple hours of smoking then wrapping and going in the oven to complete the cook will work.
