Just be careful that your advice doesn't cost you $500 million.

Only my second Weber, never had a Green Egg (except at Waffle House one time). I am faithful to my Weber, the last one lasted 20 years, and I gave it to a neighbor who is still using it.
I've got the grill positioned on my deck all of three feet from my front door, and for illumination I use light bulb technology courtesy of famous griller T. Edison...
Consumer Reports just ran a wee story on how to grill in the Winter, can't say I agree with much of what they said...they warned of propane "freezing," but I'm told by my propane expert that the gas only slows down around -44F, and I've never grilled below -13F...they also warn of longer cooking times, but I haven't found that to be much of an issue, at least not on high heat searing steaks, fish, etc...timing is pretty much the same.
Total exposure time outside is only about 2-3 minutes I'd say (cooking fast stuff like steak, fish)...30 seconds maximum to remove the cover, start the grill...30 seconds (15 minutes later) to scrape the grill, put on the meat...then 30 second to flip the met, another 30 seconds to remove the meat, turn off the grill. No coat required, just my trust sweatshirt and sweatpants (de rigeur).
Tell me about it.
I went with no epidural for 15 hours with my first then finally relented. I'm convinced having an epidural kept me from having a c-section. I then decided that prepared childbirth classes were cooked up by insurance companies that didn't want to pay out for epidurals.
I don't grill in the winter. I don't grill in the summer either, really. I let me husband do the grilling. I would do it, but he likes to be the one grilling so I let him.
I did, however, unlock a New Englander Achievement last week when I shoveled the back walkway in a t-shirt, pajama pants, and boots with the laces left untied because I didn't think the job would take very long (light, fluffy snow) and it "wasn't that cold". It took me about 5 minutes, maybe 7. Checked the temperature when I came back inside - a balmy 34 degrees.
