Will using the egg and grilling while air temperature is -20, with a windchill of -40 make the ceramic crack or break? We really need those ribs TODAY!

Reports from Alaska and The Great White North indicate low OAT is no problem.

I guess I shouldn't be complaining about our 6 degrees. I think the egg will perform just fine. Good luck,

When the outside temp is below 0° I do start mine slowly by using starter cubes or the electric starter. Then I ramp it up slowly, allowing 1-1/2 hours to come up to cooking temp. I generally only barbecue, not using it for grilling.
I also prewarm my plate setter in my oven. I preheat it to 180° then turn it off, crack the door, wait a few minutes and put the plate setter in there.
Once the Egg is up to temp, it cooks just like it would on the 4th of July.Happy Trails~thirdeye~Barbecue is not rocket surgery -

Yep -- Egg away!
Bring it up to temp slowly, and expect to burn more fuel to keep it there.
Otherwise -- Suppertime!
