WINTER BBQ

     Don't let the winter months keep you from lighting up the grill!  Crank up the grill for those football parties and winter holidays!

     A gas grill that has a higher amount of BTUs will offer more power to warm up quicker even when it’s very cold outside but If you have a charcoal grill this won’t matter because charcoal is capable of any range of heat.

     Check to make sure your grill is clean and free from debris.  Check to make sure your gas grill is working before you pull the meat out ready to cook :) and make sure you've got a path to and from your grill free from snow and ice.  

     Me I'd pull the grill close to the house or garage if connected to the house.  Make sure it's in a safe fireproof location though.  

     When grilling in cold temps, make sure that you allow for more barbecue time than usual, cold air is still getting in and will delay your foods from cooking as fast. 

    Try your very best to keep from checking -- opening and closing the lid – the cold air is able to get in more often and slow down grilling times.  Get a timer and cook based on weight and time.  Enjoy!
