Cold Weather Throwdown
DoubleEgger
Posts: 19,174
It's supposed to be historically cold this weekend for many of you eggheads out there. I'll send the person who is egging in the coldest weather a local rub.
Throwdown Guidelines
Must show a single pic of outside temp and the egged food on the grill.
Style points go to old school thermometers.
Cooks must be more than a hour in duration. No 5 minute hot dogs. A solid cook is required.
Briskets get 10% bonus points. Just because...
Throwdown ends Sunday at 9PM EST
Lets see what you've got!
Wooo!

I cooked sous vide chicken breasts tonight and finished inside with a torch.
There's a pretty good chance I won't be exiting the house until Tuesday, thank goodness Monday is a holiday.

I'm in. Planning on pastrami from a brisket flat anyway

What about the delta between the local average low (don't ask me to verify the criteria) and current temp... Just a thought. May give the warm weather whiners hope
Edit: the opposite throw down is always available...but certainly not as much of a challenge. FWIW-Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period. CHEETO (aka Agent Orange) makes Nixon look like a saint. -
See what I can find a C'co, and throw on the egg, heck, I am in, because I have bourbon.

Dixie is burning so I can't play.
Location- Just "this side" of Biloxi, Ms.
Status- Standing by.
The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out. -

I've got this brisket to have ready Sunday evening. Not sure what our low will be, but I'm going for the brisket bonus and yep I still have an old mercury thermometer. Tommy

Just finished prepping the Egg for tonights throwdown.. Damn its colder than a witches tit out there.. 26 degrees, windchill feels like 14 degrees..
I will be cooking 2 prime ribeye caps.. 2 Wild cold water lobster tails. I am still working on the sides.. I have a really nice bottle of red wine..
Hell if I don't get "leg over" after this effort then I might as well cut it off..

My egg is sitting at -4 F and I'm loading lump for pastrami.
Bring it on boys!

The only shot I got, is if the judge likes my thermometer. You guys are killing it. Oh yeah I got bourbon. +1/2"Knowledge is Good" - Emil Faber

17 lb ham. Thermo next to hot egg says 16. Weather channel app disagrees

Don't think I can participate:
-
@Shurdaddy don't sell yourself short, I think your thermo says 16% humidity and 14 deg F.

If you can't participate in this because of where you live, consider yourself lucky.
-
I gotta couple cold nights ahead, although I have some Flat Irons marinating for tonight... Maybe a longer cook tomorrow.
-
I think Ozzie_Isaac has access to liquid N and should be disqualified. (I wish I still had our liquid N tank charged, I would give him a run for the money)

@lrw my sister went to W&J. Nice little town.
-
@Eggcelsior I am actually about 90 miles north of W&J. My phone loads my township. I am beside Westminster College. Washington PA is a nice town.
-
I can't figure out how to load a pic. I have a couple lousy cellphone pics of a brisket being on all night and it got down to -9.
-
I was having issues with my temp climbing. Turned out my band on my Medium loosened up and the lid was sitting catywampus. Got the lid fixed, now my egg seems to be getting back under control.

@DoubleEgger I self identify as someone cooking in the snow, does that count?
We're actually getting a heat wave. Good luck with the throw down.
