    Jim,
    Do you have a starter cube or something like it that you could light and drop down through the top vent? Another option is to light one underneath the lump through the bottom vent. Once the ceramic warms up a bit, you should be able to open the egg.[p]TNW

    The Naked Whiz, someone mentioned a droplight through the top works. Fortunately the Gulf coast rarely gets that cold, so I can't verify, but it sounds right.

    The Other Dave,
    I'm sure that if you can get a light down in there, that it would slowly warm the egg. It certainly would prevent it from freezing. But I think a small fire would be a lot faster.[p]TNW
