BBQ in the winter

19 years ago

Just a curious thought does anyone BBQ in the winter? I was doing it last night, and was just wondering if other people do it. I don't mind it at all, I've even done it while it's raining!

Just a random thought that went through my head last night! Maybe I should go find something to do!!!

    Last summer I think it was, I was trying to learn how to BAR-B-Q.
    Our grill is on the porch and rain doesn't matter.
    However in the winter when it's COLD outside, I don't think
    ANYTHING would entice me to fire up that grill.

    One person here would do it of course and probably invite
    the neighbors to partake of a drink or two in the snow.:0)

    We don't have a gas grill but two of our neighbors grill year-round.

    Heck yes!!!! Ive even BBQed on the grill when the temps were 20 below with the wind chill factor....although it IS a royal pain in the butt.

    Pam, if it ever got that cold around here i'd go to bed,
    turn my heated mattress pad and my electric blanket on
    HIGH. I sure as heck would be outside grilling.
    SHEESH, it makes me cold just to read your post!!!

    We never made full use of ours and then very rarely. I was finally able to get rid of that hulking grey vinyl covered monster..LOL But they are handy if really used...my son lives nearby and they constantly (yes, even in winter) cook outdoors. Everything from pork roasts to ribs, steaks and veggies. He's a much better grill-cook than his Dad or me. They even have a smoker and deep fryer.

    Shell, Do you live in an area where it gets very cold...I notice you're Z8. We've hardly had a winter's day here this year in my part of AL. josh

    Only grilling I do in winter is on my good old George Foreman - it's a knockout.

    Yes, my husband does occasionally b-b-q, even in the snow. It's his idea, always. LOL. The last time he did it, it was very cold, and spitting sleet. I found the grill up in the huge selling house, since it can be opened to air and the arch is about thirty feet high. No chance of CO poisoning and had shelter. Days later, the greenhouse still had the aroma of T-bones. LOL.

    I BBQ all year round, even in a snowstorm. The only time I can't is when the wind is blowing hard.

    Yep BBQ all year round here too...but I don't that's DH's job he doesn't mind just push the gas grill out into the snow and go to it. If the wind is blowing just takes a bit longer.

    Josh, I live in Washington state, our winters here are pretty mild, except for this year. What a roller coaster it's been, rain, wind and even a snow storm! In fact it snowed here last week!! I have a fourteen year old son who does the cooking on the grill, he's getting pretty good too!

    Sheila, I live in a little town called Seabeck, it's on the Hood Canal. Yes, the weather has been strange! Today is nice though, a little windy but that's ok. Well I'm out to work on my vitamin D shortage! Ahhh the sun, I love it!!!
