Anyone else love grilling in sub freezing temps?


 
Me? Nope. Hate cooking outside in the winter. If it's a mild day, (above 25 no wind) then I'll tolerate it. And yeah after precipitation the thing that gets me the worst is wind. Even in the mild months I don't like dealing with it
 
Gotta Grill. I may not enjoy sub freezing weather as much as sitting on the deck in the 70-80 temperatures but I do love grilled steak, chop, and wings. Also I love the look of respect I get from my grilling friends when I tell them about grilling in the cold
 
We used to have a tradition of grilling Italian sausage on new years day despite the weather.

Now,,, NOPE, ain't gonna do it, lol
that's why I have an oven in the house...:cool:
 
When I was a teenager my brother had a ski boat so ski’ed the Delta about every weekend.
While I never did this there was a big ski event my brother did every New Years Day.
It was naked skiing (and drinking).
 
Which do you all think is worse? Freezing your a** off in the winter while grilling or sweating your .......off in the summer?
 
Just did two cooks today, chicken on the kettle and my very first go on smashed burger in sub freezing temperatures.

I don't like fiddly cooks too much. My crocs are too cold for that :D

Cooking with charcoal however is something else. I watch the chimney light up. See the thin flame in the dark. Lovely.
 
Where's the beer?

Reminds me of the time we were at Convict Lake in sub freezing temps, waiting for dawn so we could start fishing. I'm drinking a hot cup of coffee, trying to warm up, and I look to one side and I see...a group of fishermen drinking beer. Br-r-r-r!
