Help! Can't open my Egg!!

GBZee

I have to admit that I have seen and ignored recent posts about Eggs being frozen shut....but come on, I don't live in Chicago or Vermont. This is Memphis TN, ya know, way down south (nor south enough apparently). Anyways, it rained oer the weekend and last night it was 25 degrees and it isn't going to move much from there. The Egg is new, so I don't have my table built or a cover yet. [p]I've been blowin' a heat torch through the top but no luck yet and I had to get back to work. I've put a 150 watt bulb down there and close the top best I can. [p]I've got 5 gours until company comes over for some Ragin River Salmon to be done on the Egg.[p]Any other ideas that I might have missed?
Thanks!

GBZee,
Put the torch in the bottom vent and get the leftover lump burning. After a while, the dome will let loose.[p]Hope this Helps,

GBZee, if the lightbulb doesnt work after a few hours then it may not be frozen. i have had the felts melt together and you may have to cut the gaskets apart if this has happened.
