Anyone ever bust an EGG
Wanting to cook some steaks for me an Mrs Cactus tonight. I am worried about cracking my Egg since it is so freezing a$$ cold. Anyone have issues cooking in subfreezing temps? I use a weed burner to light lump. Will my Egg take the change in temp ok?
thanks,

BTW our distributor loves to tell the story of how eggs are tested for thermo shock. He says they run an egg up to 800 dome and then open it and dump a 5 gallon bucket of ice in!Re-gasketing America one yard at a time.

Yes, it gets cold here, this week low teens with 50mph wind. You can't put enough clothes on to stay warm. I don't know what the wind chill was but my wiener dogs wouldn't go outside with out their coats. burrrrrr

I live in southern Pennsylvania and cook on mine all year. I have cooked many a steak in the Winter - just brush off the snow and light it up (I don't use a weed burner, though).

Not to get technical, but according to chemistry alcohol is a solution...

We have a 8am Tee Time in the morning. Lol. It's a charity tournament. Mid 50s, windy and rain in the forcast. Might be an Irish Whiskey kind of start...Thank you,DarianGalveston Texas -
WE play in Minnesota till it snows but when it gets cold they won't let you out until the frost is of the greens not kidding.

Who cares if you bought it new you have a warranty. I have had 3 bases crack through the years but that just means you get a new white one to break in.

Might be an Irish Whiskey kind of start...Texas is BIG, I am probably as close to Canada as I am to the Gulf. We get cold here but is really the wind chill that is the real problem. Like I said, it is not unusual to have a 30 to 50 mile an hour wind along with low teens or single digit weather. Especially this time of the year, it blows so hard it has blown the Christmas lights right off my roof! I'm not talking gusts but a constant wind. I think Amarillo is the real" windy city". Starting to look like Holland around here with all the wind generators they have been installing. I need to get me one of those!! every time it rotates it makes money. yea baby, more eggcessories.
I am playing in the morning also, I have my cart cover and my propane heater already loaded up. Just got some new ProV1s ready to hit the links, if the greens thaw out.

I have baked pizza at 800F on the egg while the temp outside was close to -40F outside... your egg will not crack.____________________Entrepreneurs are simply those who understand that there is little difference between obstacle and opportunity and are able to turn both to their advantage. •Niccolo Machiavelli

If all you -40 people were like me, the great white north would be a ghost town and we'd all be REALLY close friends down here. GOOD GRIEF! That's just inhumane.

@RRP Luckily, I'm north of the gnat line. We get several sub freezing days each year, but admittedly, have a longer bug season than some. Sub-zero is possible for us for very short times, but -40? No thanks. Gnat line is further south around the Cumberland Plateau.

I will take bugs all day long over cold. Its mid 20's here this morning and I have to go out and pressure wash my pavers. I wish there were some gnats flying around.
