Who is 'BEARING' the cold and Eggin tonight?

GATABITES

I have some chix brest that have been marinating since saturday. Do you all think it will be a problem firing the egg for about 7-8 chix breast? I am ready.... just need some advice/motivation to fire her up. The wing is howling pretty good out.

I don't foresee a problem as long as you heat-soak the egg slowly.

GATABITES

@nolan8v - do you mean bring it to temp slowly?

I had the Egg up to 600 degrees in about ten minutes - 25 degrees with 30 mph gusts.  I think the wind helped get it to temp pretty quick.  No problems.

That's not even cold!  The egg will be fine. The cook should wear a sweater or some such. 

I'm not sure what "heat soaking the egg slowly" means either. I just light it and let 'er rip. The faster I can get it up to temp, the sooner I can start cooking.

Yes, that is what I meant.

Just my .02 as to how I do it.

we have been way below zero I was nervous the first time firing her up to but no problem there was no four play right to 350 I was waiting for a snap our crack but she was good. have done many that way in the last couple weeks.

I was going do some steaks for my sine before he leaves for college tomorrow. -14 is just too cold to do egg food.

The jerky cook in the sub arctic was successful. ..and no damage done...Found myself lingering around the pit a little less then normal but other then that, about the same...

The lower vent was frozen shut. I just hit it for a few secs with the torch and it opened up. No issues with the egg.
