Gonna be in the teens the next few nights - if I wanted this, I'd move up North! I'm gonna have to build a Q-bana that is cool in summer and warm in winter, wife ain't gonna like the cost!

Fair enough. I guess I was comparing it to Savannah when you can have an 80 degree day in January. True the weather come march and april can be a little up in the air but there there is enough consitency in Jan Feb for me where most of the time it is below 60. Granted they're are days that are unusually mild even in those months, just less than what I'm used to. Besides, who wants brutal cold for three months in a row? |

Sposed to be 9°F Friday night.
I'm kinda wanting to try a cook on the 18" WSM in that kind of weather, but I'm also wanting just to stay the heck inside! Plus, I cooked a butt last weekend and we have about 1/2 of that left. That's about the only thing I would cook overnight. |

| Winter in Maine lasts from mid-November to mid-April(aka "Ice Out") so we've adapted psychologically to think of cold differently than people who experience cold weather once or twice a year. For example 80*F is 30* warmer than 50*F, so it follows that 10*F is 30* warmer than minus 20*F. So a day that starts out at 20 below and climbs 10 above has the same change in temperature as a warm summer day. Heat Wave! |
