Egg was frozen shut, have to make a fire through the bottom air vent
Been there a few times myself
I might be scared of cracking the egg with that kind of temp hitting it when cold. I use a weed burner to light charcoal and it rips from zero to 1600 degrees really fast. I might also be concerned about introducing propane into a closed egg. My torch is very sensitive to having enough oxygen or it goes out. If you get the right fuel air mixture in the egg and it touches off, I can see it being ugly.think I’m adding this to my toys, and then remember to never leave the grate or egg setter in the egg. Be easy to light from the tip-top.

I don't have an egg, I was referring to the temp of my weedburner flame. I misunderstood, I thought you were talking about sticking the torch into the vent of the frozen shut egg. I did once touch off a fireball out of my UDS. Lost some hair when the smoke that had built up when I choked a bacon flare up ignited when I opened the lid too soon.I was just planning on using it to light the lump. 1600...seriously, never gotten mine over 700 and that messed up the gasket.
what did you use to measure that temp?
