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.
