I must confess my ignorance of what they are using to fill my BBQ
tanks, but family tradition dictates steaks on Christmas eve, and I
have yet to encounter a problem, even if I have to wear my parka plus
fleece liner to accomplish it!

Your grill runs on Propane.
If it were Butane it wouldn't work at all.
Down here - along the Texas Gulf Coast - we often head to the beach to
enjoy the mild weather at Christmas and, often, lack of mosquitoes.
Barbecueing, there, is usually over a driftwood fire.
After all, it's usually in the mid 80s at that time of year. <grin>
The fishing's usually pretty good, too.
BTW, I've got a small question for you: After you go ice fishing, how do
you cook the ice? <GRIN>

You take an accountant or an MBA along and carve the ice to the shape
of a book.

Boil it, then throw in a couple tea bags to enhance the flavour.
