Ummmm, does it ever get cold in TX? I was in Ft. Sam in 98 for military training.

Great you have some chicks!

Does it ever get cold? haha.....Yes it does, but like all Texas weather it will change within 72 hours. It was 21 the last two mornings here in Central Texas.
I lived in Lubbock in West Texas and it got down to -8 with a wind chill of -25 there.
In 81' it got very cold. I remember it being below freezing for over month.
In 88' my brother was living in Brownsville and it got down to 13 there killing most of the Orange and Grapefruit trees down there.
Sorry for the Meteorology lesson. Im a weather dork but not as much as my brother....he is a Meteorologist in Corpus Christi.
You were in the Army?

Well done and incinerated are not the same in my book, but I guess they are in his.

The high yesterday was 10 here. I think it would have used my whole propane tank to even warm the grill up...

 

[WyandotteTX]

High of 10? Sorry dont think I ever wanna live there....haha. My wife and inlaws are all from Minnesota and they say they would never move back and I totally understand why.
You might be right about having to use the whole propane tank for that!
Katy, what are you talking about? I am the MASTER of the grill....haha...

I live in Michigan and we have cold winters here. Single digits are a fact of life. Overnight temp lastnight of -2 and thats without windchill. I grill all winter long. Its charcoal but we do grill all winter long. Besides it has better flavor than any gas grill will ever give me. I do have a gas grill though and its nice for the few times we want brats and most fish fillets because they cook so fast are on the grill too. But any respectable cut of meat is done with charcoal. We adjust the cooking times a touch but we still get the same consistancy of medium rare on our steak and our pork and chicken is still tender and juicy. For the record though tuna is done on the charcoal grill. Just the thought of grilled tuna's got my mouth watering....love that stuff.

And to stay on topic this is why I want Wyandottes, because they are bigger, dual purpose and no frostbitten combs. If it gets THAT cold, Ill move them in the barn and it would look like Noahs ark in there!

Speaking of Noah's ark... Turbos, I moved the bachelor glw rooster into the basement last night in a large dog crate. He's so happy to be out of the cold he's crowing his heart out. And making an unholy mess I'm trying to put some weight back on him now that he's not walking the fenceline all day. His ex wife has found her free range legs. She runs everywhere ala Forrest Gump.

Not to rub it in but DH and I went to culinary school.

Kevin makes the best roasted/smoked pig!
