It's -2 outside, and my egg is frozen shut for the first time ever. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Don't have that problem in my neighborhood but I have seen folks suggest dropping a starter or two down the top vent and/or sliding one in through the bottom vent. Good luck with it.

Unfortunately, I don't have any starters. I've been using oil soaked paper towels as my starter for a while now.
What about warming it up with a hairdryer around the edge?

light some newspaper in the bottom vent.

Hairdryer should work. Pat's newpaper suggestion may be faster and you won't have to stand in the cold with the hairdryer. :ermm: :huh:

I'm sure you have it by now, but for next time, if you have a trouble light turn it on and hang it down through the dome. The heat will loosen things.

Thanks everyone. I got it. I found a starter at the fireplace, so I used that and it finally opened up. And the temp is all the way up to 7! unfortunately, now I'm 2 hours behind on my ribs.

I did find it kind of funny that I got frozen egg help from a guy in Florida and a guy in Louisiana!
