I smoked ribs this weekend during the "arctic surge" mentioned above. It was 19 degrees F for the high on Saturday. I don't understand people that say they don't want to BBQ in the cold, especially if they have a heatermeter or something similar. It doesn't take me very long to get my grill lit, set up, and meat thrown on. The rest of the work can be monitored remotely from the comfort of the indoors via the heatermeter.
