    Haha. I'm in Wisconsin. It's actually not that cold, but I'm tired and don't feel like lighting up the grill.

    It’s never too cold to egg. Ran a contest a while back and the winner was high single digits below zero if I remember correctly. 

    Nice looking steak.

    I routinely Egg in such temps and colder. It can hurt, but you just need to be prepared.

    My coldest is -24f during last year's polar vortex that hit MN.  Had to go for it!

    Adult supervisory anti-freeze for the prep, then have at it.  Kidding aside, money shot for the win.  Nailed the cook, however you got there.

    I go fishing near Leech Lake. It’s for real cold up there.

    First off, wtf is your kitchen? Need pics. 

    Second, never too cold to egg. Unless absolute zero, then your molecules wouldn't cooperate anyway.

    I’m in the camp that it’s never too cold to grill unless it makes it unenjoyable...which has to be pretty damn cold for me. And I’d say it’s more about wind then cold for me :-)

    You guys use your egg outside. Really you don't have a hood?

    Cold is when it is too cold to grill without flip-flops and shorts on the porch, zeroish

    Same time, MI, -17. Everything was closed. I didn't let the fire go out in the wood stove nor my Egg for three days. I agree the it's never too cold to egg, but the are also times it's too cold for me to want to. I.E., out in the freezing cold all day, get home and warm up, I'm probably making soup or chili.

    Your food looks great and I bet it was outstanding, btw, but....I'm not cooking a steak on my range unless it's for my dog. (I love my dog, btw also)

    My wife comments that we are the only ones eating a grilled steak on Saturday nights in the middle of a Kansas winter.  It’s a ritual for me and the egg.  Most of my neighbors eat out on these cold winter nights, but comment on the good smells emitting from our back yard.

    Polar vortex lest year (windchill hit -53F, or 226K); had to do it, but it was a bit cold.

    I just don’t stir fry when it’s below 40. By the time I get from the egg to the house the stir fry is already cold. 
    Other than that here in central Texas I cook out all the time.

    pro tip, take the daisy off the dome and put another grate on top, helps to warm the beer to keep it from freezing in your hand.
