Grilling

Does any one else grill outside in the winter? I have a friend that thinks it very odd that I grill all the time, even if their is a foot of snow on the ground. Who to say just because it isn't sunny out I have to go to a restaurant if I want grilled meat!?

Of course we grill out year round. We just pull the grill into the garage and grill! Nothing beats a thick juicy steak in the middle of a big snowstorm. I see nothing wrong with it at all.

Here in the UK we barbecue outside but only when it's warm and sunny. My daughter has a huge parasol over her barbecue and we have sat underneath that while it was breezy and a little chilly but it wasn't very pleasant. Outdoor eating is definitely for the warm weather!

I tend to smoke more then grill. And I've done it in the winter before. It is nice when you have a fire going to provide coals for the smoker. Then you can sit by the fire and warm up. Now our winters here in FL are a lot more mild then up north. Our winters are more like fall, although we do get some cold snaps here and there.

I also like to grill outside all summer long. I would not have thought about grilling in the winter. Maybe we will have to keep the deck cleared off so that I can this winter. That would be excellent!

We grill food even during winter. I have seen people do it despite the cold climate. I don't see anything wrong with it as long as we're in the mood to eat some grilled food.

My family and I have always grilled outside all year long. I love the smell of our coal grill even in the winter months and nothing tastes as good cooked on the stove!

My chiropractor does it all the time. I love grilled steaks as much as the next person, but I am not going to the backyard in the middle of winter. The grill is not really accessible. I rather go to a restaurant and get it in a nice comfy place.

We grill all year round - if it means I need to throw on the Carhartt jacket to cook the steaks, so be it.

I'm a bit lazy, use a gas grill for convenience - one of the newer "infrared" types that uses indirect heat instead of open flame; less flareups.

And to increase my laziness, I also converted it to natural gas and hooked it to the house - no more running out of gas in the middle of cooking

I admit, I chuckled when I read that last part. I also do not blame you for the gas part. It is a pain sometimes with the charcoal, especially when you are hungry and just want to eat already.
