It’s been at least three months since I wrapped up my Kamado Joe, and longer since I posted a cook. I’m hoping this year I might get around to a proper outdoor kitchen and will be able to cook in all weather.
How about the rest of you? Does anyone brave the elements in winter?

Every year. It doesn’t snow here terribly often but if it’s snowing you can bet I’m drunk as hell smoking a brisket.
Does Texas get cold in winter? I really don’t know!
Let’s just say, it feels cold to them.
Not often. The person who said “it feels cold to them” is about right. But we got a few inches of snow this year and the whole state was shut down by a winter storm a couple of years back.
I’ve lived in cold places. I’ll take upstate New York in winter where they have the infrastructure and mindset to handle it over what happened here a couple of years back. Even the little snow we got this year made a certain group of folks lose their shit. Our infrastructure is made to withstand triple digits in the shade, not the first snowflake of the year.
Oh, just to add, the panhandle gets pretty chilly, generally in the 20s and 30s F during the winter. But I grew up in northeast Texas and currently live in Houston so that’s where a lot of my experiences come from.
I’m in Chicago so we get cold and snow, but thankfully I have a slight overhang above our grill so I can use it year round. Salmon every Monday at a minimum, skipped about 2 weeks each of the last years when we had 5-10 days below zero. But I can also see our grill from the window in our kitchen and spend a lot of time in between checking and flipping things inside, so I don’t get full fanatic credit haha.
I lived in Chicago for a bit. Love that city.
As far as US cities go, it’s a good one for sure, especially for food.
US southwest here. That’s when we’re cooking outside, after about mid-May it’s too fucking hot to stand outside around a grill until about mid-October.
I do, but I’m in the south. We already got our 1 day of snow this year.

I barbecued a lot in the winter but under a covered porch. Where I’m living now I don’t have a barbecue yet but I don’t expect a Canadian snowfall to slow me down.
