Many folks barbecue in the winter. Some insulate their cookers with
hot water heater blankets or shield their cookers from the wind.
Another option is to use a ceramic cooker like a Big Green Egg, Primo,
Kamado, Grill Dome. They are pretty much immune to the cold.
Charcoal will light at any reasonable temperature.
