Chillin' and Grillin'

Post by Cubbie Bear »

I crave good food off the grill year round and have been known to be outside with the grill sparked and running when the air temps have been
-15 and wind chills around -30.

What is the coldest you have braved in order to torch some red meat

In the teens!!

I love to grill when it's cold. For some reason, I think the meat cooks better.

In the fall and winter, we light the outdoor fireplace and then the grill. Nothing like sitting around the fire with a cold beer and a wild beast on the grill. :D
I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day.

I have grilled as low as -25 below. It takes a few minutes longer for the steak and you have to hurry inside but it sure is worth it in January.
Nothing better than a medium rare steak and a cold dark beer.

I don't give a damn if it's -50 below!
When I'm hungry, the weather gets ignored.

Consequently, I checked the last choice.
(Lucky for me, however, my patio deck is screened in, so it's never TOTALLY cold out there).

It rarely gets into the teens here, and only then in the middle of the night. But I will grill in any weather, where is my raincoat...

I grill year round. If I can get the damn thing lit, I grill. I have grilled in thunderstorms before!

I have cooked on my grill when the temp (before wind chill) was near zero (New Year's Eve 2 yrs ago), but to be honest: it sucks. My grill just doesn't get hot enough to fight a wind chill of 20 below. (Time for an upgrade.)

Beer stays cold though.
