It's 30F here and I'm grilling chicken breasts. No wind to speak of but it's a wee bit chilly. As long as it's above 0F and no wind, it's grilling season here.
How about you, how cold is too cold? |

Well done. Respect. In upstate NY it's never too cold to grill. |

-44 degrees F. This is the boiling point of propane. And at this temperature you cannot get enough vapor pressure to grill with propane. pfft, propane..........who uses propane? real grilling takes charcoal. Who are you Hank Hill? Hank Hill was absolutely correct with the awesomeness of propane... And propane products |

I saw a show about people who maintain pipelines in Siberia, above the Arctic circle. It's so cold your spit (or piss) freezes before it hits the ground, and in the morning they had to build fires under the fuel tanks of their trucks...to thaw the diesel which froze overnight.
Those fuckers grilled, and in short pants and t-shirts. Of course, that's when the wind is not howling. |

I have a Coleman camp stove that runs off of unleaded gas and Coleman fuel, when it gets down near zero you have to warm up a fuel feed tube on it with a candle to get it lit. Once going it works fine. |

we grill out in as cold as -65 ..duh..especially at the trapping cabin... means ya gotta wear your sledding gear but normally we have the fire pit going as well so its not bad at all..we also sit out till 3-4 am drinking around the pit as well when its that cold out..now..hauling all the wood to my cabin is a pain in the ass sometimes..but its not too bad... my son while he was on leave from the Marines one spring for a spring bear hunt... <a href="http://s266.photobucket.com/user/AKSNOWRIDER_2008/media/4-26-2012%20spring%20bear%20hunt/DSC00965.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii265/AKSNOWRIDER_2008/4-26-2012%20spring%20bear%20hunt/DSC00965.jpg</a> A little later when he had a little more liquid bravery going.... <a href="http://s266.photobucket.com/user/AKSNOWRIDER_2008/media/4-26-2012%20spring%20bear%20hunt/DSC00969.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii265/AKSNOWRIDER_2008/4-26-2012%20spring%20bear%20hunt/DSC00969.jpg</a> I've been camping and BBQing out in 15 to 12 degree weather. The booze helps a lot + metal/ceramic plates that you leave on the edge of the fire to keep the food and meat warm while you cook and eat. Ski pants and jackets keep your backside from getting too cold.

THAT's the spirit ! BTDT There's little more satisfying than standing around a grill cooking some meat with snow blowing in your face and a beer in your hand ! Grill beer is pretty damn close to a shower beer. |

I fucking hate my grill. I need a new grill. I need a Weber. I buy little scratch and dent grills from Wal-mart, those little grills are gtg for just the wife and I during a week night dinner. Charcoal chimneys (old school ones) are a must. We have a Weber for larger occasions. As long as I can grill out of the wind (large pole building) I will grill in any cold temp
