Is the BGE as big a "guy" thing as these forum posts indicate? I am getting ready to purchase a large BGE and have always been the grill queen in my family. I am looking forward to seeing the difference in smoking turkeys in the BGE and a regular smoker. Thanks to the link in the forum I am having the table made at a fraction of the costs it would be from the dealer and have compiled a list of what seems to be the necessities to add to the BGE itself. I have not seen any discussions as to temperatures outside the BGE so how does it perform in winter and snow conditions?

    chp, Welcome to the forum. Go ahead and get the egg and come back here. There are plenty of female eggheads here fully capable of egging up a storm of food in all kinds of weather. ;)

    I must add us male contents do our share as well. :whistle: :evil:

    Winter egging is fine. We have lots of Canadian folks here who cook all year long. Also, some of the best eggers here are women (but don't tell them I said that!). Not just a "guy" thing at all.

    And as for gloves...

    Welcome to the madhouse!! :)

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    There was a previous post in the past few days with some folks from Canada who chimed in to say the Egg works fine in extremely cold weather. Lowest I have cooked in was about 10 degrees and noticed no difference. From what I can tell there are quite a few women posters on the forum. Good luck with your egg purchase. You will love it.

    Welcome!

    You will see some lady veterans here with years of eggsperience and thousands of posts!

    As far as winter cooking is concerned... I am sure the egg than withstand temps better than you ;) But seriously... assuming that you operate the egg properly, It can both get to blazing hot temperatures or hold long low n' slows in the dead of winter.

    Good luck with the gloves!

    chp, Not a bunch of snow in this pic, but it was -20, if I remember right.
    These eggs just chug along, they don't care what temp. it is.
    Just stabilize the target temp. on the calibrated thermometer for 30 minutes or so.

    context is important :)

    Kari, I just did an image search for welders gloves and scrolled til I found pink ones. Here's the link, but it looks like you'd be ordering direct from China. Didn't even see a price! Do you feel lucky? Do ya? hahaha

    Poke around. You can probably find something a little more "comforting". :)

    Welcome to the forum. The Egg is a cooking machine regardless of the outside temperature. Most important is learn how to stabilize the cooking temp. What you cook on the egg is only limited by your imagination. I have used my large as an extra oven when the one in the kitchen ran out of room. Enjoy your egg

    Yep, there are some eggceptional women eggers here. I myself, have egged in 95 degree heat all summer long..... and 28 degrees in winter, though I wasn't too happy!

    Welcome to the forum and enjoy your egg and your pink gloves if you can find them!
    Happily egging on my original large BGE since 1996... now the owner of 5 eggs. Call me crazy, everyone else does!

    Well, it's not a great solution if you can't find pink gloves but you can always just use the color replace function on photoshop to easily turn whatever gloves you're wearing into pink ones!

    if you want nice pink gloves.... get some "krylon"...... has to be krylon.... and spray em with the paint.....it's super flexible and and won't fall off , flake etc..... i sprayed a motorcycle seat with it and it never wore off..... ( it was a yamaha.... and that stupid "yamaha electric blue"....)( people laughed at the fact that i only had the bike one day and painted it camo.... i had the bike for over ten years and never needed to respray the seat, or anything else........ i also painted brown boots, black..... worked great!...give it a try.... a can of spray paint is not too expensive.... plus pink welder's gloves..... are definitely " girly"!..... ray


    oh..... might want to spray em white first..... it will make the pink really pop!....

    I am Canadian. I am a woman.. and I've had my large EGG chugging away cooking a pulled pork at 250 degrees f. in weather as cold as -30 degree Celsius = -22 degree Fahrenheit. And I've been cooking on the EGG for going on 5 years now here in Ontario.
    And I love my EGG. I gave my gas grill away years ago, the EGG is the only grill I use now.
