Mine stays in Maine all year for the past 12 years, I use a chimney to start the briquettes and it works great.

But do not take the 22.5" one-touch silver as recommended by Leo, but the one-touch gold with the ash catcher. See http://tinyurl.com/5wjpe Otherwise you'll have your knees full of ash every time the wind blows. I dont use any other starter firing methods than burning a pile of thin fir wood sticks. With the flames of it, I burn the fat off the grids the from the last BBQ. I use my Weber all year, even when there's half a meter of snow in my garden. When we have guests, this is always a good opportunity for the men, to go out and have some drinks while the women are chatting inside :-) ... Didier >I am a big fan of the 22.5" weber kettle.
