This cold snap is killing me

Not with wind chill's below zero Fahrenheit I'm out.

I grilled burgers Tuesday night at +2F and below zero wind chills.  It was a balmy +20F here tonight so I grilled a couple of duck breasts after shoveling off the deck.

Where my egg? This sucks. I hate hate hate the cold and snow. Hopefully not to much mold or whatever in the spring.

I agree, I've shoveled a path to the driveway, the hot tub and the egg. I'm headed to Costco in just a few and I'm bringing back a hunk of some kind of meat for tonight's cook.
Old man winter is not going to keep me from egging on the weekends anyways.

Just "plug-and-play" with spatchcock chix or turkey, any pork butt cook, brisket, chuck roast, country ribs, pork or beef ribs and many more that don't require the cook's constant attention.  Besides a good level of adult anti-freeze will lessen the temperature shock.  YMMV-

Yeah one day when I clean it out.  Plug and play has not been working for me lately.  Lots of fiddling to get it locked down on a temp.  I do clean the ashes out from the bottom but I may need to do a good cleaning and clean burn as its frozen shut and lots of moisture in the dome and where the gasket would be.

I need a motivational cook to get back into it this winter.  I used it allot last winter just not feeling it this year. 

If it gets warm enough and I find time them maybe.  I doubt it though with the kids sports all weekend that I would get a few hours to cook something.  Eating out has been bad and my low carb diet has gone to crap. 

I want cook cook something but not BBQ if that makes sense.  A new meat cook would be good if I get the chance.  Do not want ribs, spatchcock chicken, or pork butts (I have a few bags of pulled pork in the freezer still).  I need something really good.  tried potroast once  - not repeating as it was horrendous.  I'll have to find something different.

That is an obscene picture. This morning is low 40's and I had to wear a jacket while starting the fire.

My wife is concerned we will not be able to use her sidecar to get the Christmas tree today. High predicted is 67. We once lived in Tennessee mountains and have seen snow. I grew up in Atlanta and still remember ice storms. Snow and freezing rain fall during the day and then with traffic and near freezing temperatures it turns to slush. A hard overnight freeze and a major metropolitan area is a big sheet of ice. No thanks-we got out and have no desire to return.
Temps for the weekend are predicted to return to the 70's and unless we have another gale blowing, it should be pleasant.
Our white Christmas will hopefully be beach sand.

My egg was frozen shut. Do u need to clean it to get the mold out and if so what do I use to clean it. I've only had my XL baby green for 6 months. Please help

I don't think that you need to clean you egg but if so you have to do a clean burn what that in tales is load it up with lump light it and leave the top off and open the bottom vent wide open remove the thermometer and let it rip until it burns out after it cools now take a ball of tim foil and rub the inside of the egg .As far as preventing you egg from freezing shut  put tin foil between the dome and base thats all you need to do 

@tnacole, what charles said.

@charlesmaneri and @eggcelsior Thanks guys, I was worried
