    Cold Weather Grilling Tips

    October 24, 2021 by burntapple Leave a Comment

    The weather is turning cold and sweaters and hot cocoa always seem to sound good. Grilling in the cold weather might seem like more of a warm weather, summer kind of thing but for grill lovers it could bring on a season of depression and grill withdrawals. But not anymore! Let's get grilling!

    Disclosure: We always recommend products we use ourselves. This post may contain affiliate links which do not cost you anything.

    Electric, Propane, Charcoal or Gas?

    What type of grill should you use for cold weather grilling? You've got several choices: electric, propane or gas.

    Electric Grills

    Electric grills can be used inside during cold weather. Which type of electric grill you buy becomes a little bit of personal preference. Do you want more of a George Foreman style grill, or more of an outdoor style you can use indoors with grill plates?
    • Hamilton Beach Indoor Grill: We've used this grill in the past and love it. It has removable plates, a viewing window and includes the ability to cook up to six servings at one time. At $79, this grill is the perfect gift for a grill lover!
    • George Foreman Indoor/Outdoor Grill: This grill makes up to 12 servings and is perfect for using indoors or outdoors.
    • Weber Indoor Grill: Weber has been a well known brand in grilling and also has an indoor grill that mimics your outdoor grill.

    Propane, Gas, or Charcoal Grill

    These grills will take you out into the cold but will deliver the classic grill taste that you are wanting in your food. Bundle up and enjoy some grilling! Looking at science, propane gas grills are probably better to use in the winter as gas can liqueify and make cooking times longer. You'll also want to make sure the grill is nice and preheated prior to putting on your foods to cook. It may also require extra cooking time if you are cooking outside and your grill may need to be defrosted prior to cooking with it. Don't forget to make sure you've got good lighting too when grilling!

    Bundling Up!

    When you head outside make sure you dress warm! Gloves, coats and hats are necessary. Be careful with the extra bundles of clothing around a hot grill.

    Preheated Plates

    If you're cooking outside, if you can have a preheated plate to put your cooked meat on, it will stop the meat from cooling down too quickly.

    Recommended Winter Grilling Foods

    There are some fabulous foods you can enjoy grilled in the winter. Some of our favorites are:

    • Hot drinks like cider, etc
    • Steak, chicken, sausage, brats, pork, lamb, pheasant, quail
    • Pumpkin, squash, sweet potatoes, apples, potatoes, pomegranates

    I've been making over recipes since I was ten. Back then I wasn't so great at it and created everything from rubber cakes for my Dad's birthday to rock muffins that put a hole in the wall.

    Diagnosed with colitis ten years ago and with three young children I had to learn to cook. But life was busy and there wasn't a lot of time to cook or figure out what I could eat!
