How cold? Normally I preheat the grill for about 15 minutes to get it up to 450-500F in the summer. But with the cold air, you might need longer. This unit is basically an electrical element, so if it is really cold, the heat might be sucked out each time you open the lid. We have used the grill in the cold (Virginia) weather but for us, cold is at worse maybe 40F.

I used it in Florida, no problem cooking. Warms quickly and has plenty of heat. My guess it would cook fine in cold weather, just would probably take longer to good. Cooks as hot as a gas BBQ. Hope this helps.

Not sure what to tell you on that. I bought it for a garage grill to use in bad weather (cold, snow, rain) The garage is not heated and gets quite cold and the grill works just great

I live in a NYC apt so we can only have an electric BBQ. I have tis weber electric for 3 years and it works great. We live on the 14th fl on the Hudson River. As long a its not to cold and windy to stand out on the terrace I've used it in the winter. Just keep the lid closed.

I don't see that being a problem because the battery is in the sending unit. I know it gets cold in WI, but not cold enough to stop radio waves or electrons :-) When in doubt I always contact the manufacturer. I've been using this device (both units are in the house) for a few months now and it has worked flawlessly for me. One side note is that we have our house heavily insulated. It's wrapped in foam board insulation as well as the usual in-wall cavity insulation along with triple pane windows. After installing the extra insulation and new windows we no longer can use outdoor radio wave devices (indoor-outdoor remote thermostats). The receivers can't pick up the signal even if it's only a couple feet away with new batteries.

I live in Florida and it works great. Dont think the cold should affect it but maybe salt? I've no problems with rain and for the price I have no complaints.

According to the Troubleshooting section of the instruction manual, the unit will not operate satisfactorily if the temperature is below 41 F. I would imagine that all higher temps are okay unless the unit overheats in extreme temperatures, but that was not mentioned. I hope this helps. Rx

I do not live in a climate that gets that cold and cannot tell you how it will perform at that temp range.

It has worked fine in the cold and I'm in North Idaho. Battery life is reduced, but that would be the case for anything that uses batteries. As far as water resistance goes, I've tried to keep it sheltered so I can't tell you.

It works very good in cold or warm weather, and 32 degrees below it still works well. Just like any other electronics don't get it wet.

I have mine in the garage. The temperature dosn't get quite get that low, but I can't see why it would not run at that temp.You are still above freezing.Richard S.

It works great, however, if the outside air temp is below 10-15 degrees fahrenheit or so, the unit will not work. So, when it's really, really cold out, for some reason the system has a safety mechanism that prevents it from working. Sounds crazy, but true. Once the day warms up enough, it kicks back on.

It has worked great for us, we do have some issue with getting enough sun to recharge it, due to living in a wooded area. We have it (I am not to up on this stuff so bear with me) hooked to a battery/mighty mule gate opener and we have a gate approximately 10ft wide and it opens it just fine. So far no issue with cold temp's. We live in the Central United States. So not sure how cold it gets where you are at. Hope this helps

It does really good 15-25 degrees but u still gotta layer up with thermals if it gets colder than that. U gonna have to put the settings on high so that the cold wont sink in.Battery charges fast like 30 min so i change them during my break n lunch. Get another battery if u outside all day. The battery won't last if u keep it on high.

I guess it depends on how you define 'cold weather', we have two units that were placed outside from the beginning by our installer and no problem to date, we are in south central Texas. 'hope that helps you, good product

It should work fine, I live in south fla sooooo in the winter it's 68 lol but the power button doesn't seal good so moisture probably can get inside sightmark came out with a new which is a little more money but it has a flash light and I believe the buttons are sealed better

We purchased ours to use in the winter and it works great. The description says it works in hot and cold weather but I can only vouch for cold weather.

I use it for portable. It uses 5.6 KW so it does use a lot of power in real cold weather.

Just got one, and works like a charm!! Says in the manual, not to be used below 65F or above 110F.

It will work fine. We've similar winter temps in Minnesota and mine's worked great. Simply connect to the battery, plug it in and wait for spring. It usually comes eventually.
