With the “cold” happening in the South I thought I would share a normal cook durning an Iowa winter. It was negative 8 and with the windchill was around -20. Cooked indirect around 200 dome for about an hour until the steaks were around 130. Then pulled, tented and opened the large wide open. Not sure on the exact temp as it was wrapped around back to 350 with a flame shooting out the top a good foot. Will be recalibrating the dome thermo next since I forgot to remove it. Seared direct close to the coals next for about 60 seconds a side to finish around 137 internal. Great edge to edge cooking!

    I just had some movement.

    Great cook, and kudos on braving the elements for a good cause.

    @JohnInCarolina - Thanks!

    @20stone - Although dam cold since you don't have to babysit the egg you never get cold. One of the many reason i bought an egg. I have smoked briskets at -30 before and it doesn't seem to phase the egg. If I knew how to post a video I would show you what boiling water does when tossed into the air.

    That's butt cold. But sounds like cooking weather to me! Nicely executed, especially under not-so-perfect conditions. Stay warm!

    Looks great bud.
    I agree 100%, best thing about the egg.

    Anyone serious about grilling out in the ol' corn patch, needs an egg in their arsenal.  

    Got a couple in the chamber myself.  One more month.

    Thanks, couldn't pass them up for $4.99/lb. 

    45 days is 2/2 on the right one, 2/6 on the left.
    The right may not make it the full 45, we'll see.

    Where have you settled on aging time?

    Believe it or not, I haven't done my own dry aging (yet). The meat locker is too warm (55F), the freezer's too cold (-10F), and @20stonespice isn't a out to let me take up half the fridge with aroma generating funk.  We do, however, have an underutilized beverage fridge....

    That said, 45 days seems like the sweet spot.  I'd be curious to know whether time or weight loss (f(time, temp, humidity)) is the better metric (as it is w charcuterie).  Base on what I have tasted, 30 seems like not enough, and 60 flirts w being too long for all but the most ardent funk heads
