RE: So who are the die hard grillers?

[rednekrubbrduck]

 
I think this goes to mainly the snowed in folks..or the ones where it s really cold.  In snow country...right after you clear a path on the driveway, do you clear one to your BBQ grill?  Thought about this last night when I was grilling pork steaks outside, and the temp was 7 degrees.  I cook our meat on the grill, so if there was that much snow...I probabally would clear a path to the grill first before I did the driveway.  So who s outside grilling when it s bitterly cold with snow blowing all around you?

We cook on the grill year round - DH loves steaks, burgers, pork and seafood grilled - I like it because it s that much less cooking for me.  I just cook up the taters and saute the onions!!!!  YUM!!!

Grilling Season?  It s an all year event isn t it?  We did a beer can chicken just a week or so ago and we do the Thanksgiving turkey on the kettle every year.  At last count, I had seven or so Weber products in my grill arsenal.
 
 Feel free to fire any Weber related questions my way.[8D]

RNRD,
 
 I m with you.  I would probably dig out the grill first BUT since God invented television so I can see snow it really isn t a problem here.  []

Grillin  is a year-round way of cooking for us too.    It also makes a good temporary heater.  Once I got home earlier than the DW and walked out the back door with Molly dog.  The back door closed and locked (it had one of those automatic locking doorknobs)....... Here I was in a short-sleeved shirt, no phone and the neighbors weren t home.  At the time we didn t have a hidden house key outside either, so I had to wait about 30 minutes for the DW to come home.  I was freezing out there, so I saw the heater... um, I mean the grill and started it up to keep warm until the DW got home.  It worked ok.  I m just glad that I had enough propane.

We grill year round, and typically here in Texas, that isn t a problem, but we even grilled last night, when you had to stand on a two inch thick solid sheet of ice as you turned the meat.
 
 Yes folks, we re having a texas winter blast.  Not snow, sleet, an entire sheet of it, which melted enough yesterday to refreeze into a solid sheet of ice today.  Schools and businesses have been closed for two days, since we here in the south just weren t equipped to deal with this stuff, and then only the highways are being treated, city streets you re on your own.
 
 We had a nice big pot of chili, with some grilled hot links and sausages on buns.  YUMMY!
 
 PS - please lord let this stuff melt, I don t wnat to spend another day stuck home with these kids!

Even when we lived in Michigan and Iowa we grilled year round.  Really made the husbands mad who had told their wives you can t grill when it s really cold!  Nothing can compare to meat/veggies right off the grill.

We tried last weekend, the bbq would start but the flame would always go out, guess the propane was too cold.

I seem to be slipping THIS year or maybe it s called DIETING, but I haven t grilled as much as in years past! The grill was always the first to get shovelled out! I have proaly averaged twice a month this year, down from once or twice a week before!

We have a Weber gas grill with a little box that holds wood chips.  I smoke our turkey every Thanksgiving and Christmas.  It rained up here end of last week, and snow pack on our deck went down to about 14" .
 
 DS asked me to grill some hamburgers Saturday.  So bad back and all I got out there and cleared a path and grilled burgers.  Temperature was around 20 degrees, wind was howling at near gail strength and there were flurries.  But but by golly we had grilled burgers.
 
 February is almost over, spring want get here soon enough to satisfy me!

The grill is on the front deck, snow is cleared to it before the steps get done.[]

DH is a big griller!  Even with all this snow...he took the snowblower and cleared a path so we could barbeque.  Doesn t it just smell good to have that grill going on a crisp cold winter night!!!!!  Whole neighborhood gets hungry!![]
