apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

i do the prep work while my husband does the grilling in the rain under an umbrella (a really huge one from Costco) We have a Big Green Egg and rain nor snow makes a difference to it.

heh. In Canada we even grill in the snow! You just need an overhang or covered porch.

Heck, at my dad's house in Maryland we grill outdoors in the open every year during Thanksgiving. An overhang or umbrella's probably good, but a raincoat will do just fine.

We don't even bother with an umbrella. My boyfriend usually goes out in his raincoat and watches over the food.
I'll BBQ in -40°C. BBQing is definitely not a 'summer only' cooking style. All year long!

I sometimes find that my grill won't light if it's raining out (or when it's crazy sticky humid). Is that a grill problem, or just me?

Angorian - I knew you were a Canuck when you mentioned the bags of milk. :)

Yeah, we bbq year round up here in Ottawa, Canada too. I remember having bbq steaks for Christmas dinner after losing power in the huge ice storm of 1986. Good times.

you remember 1986? you're OLD...just joking i remember 1986 too.

Nothing like Christmas turkey, straight from the BBQ. Frees up the oven for all the other goodies.
