Well it’s getting that time of year when the pretty fall colors have all gone away and all we are left with is hard cold winds, dead brown grass, and eventually ice and snow. It’s this time of year that you will see people out winterizing their homes, covering or putting up their lawn furniture. The saddest thing I see is people winterizing their grills. Putting them up and letting them sit in the garage or under the covers for the next several months. Why I ask would you even consider doing this? Are you going to lock yourself in the house and eat pot roasts and meatloaf all winter? While I admit I like both of the previously mentioned foods, why should I use the stove? What flavor has it ever imparted my food that would make me choose it over the succulent flavors my grill provides me? I dare say why when my heater does a fine job of keeping my house warm would I even burn the electricity to run that increasingly useless appliance. Cooking on your grill in the winter can be just as pleasurable as it was during the warmer months.
So I implore you my fellow grilling juggernauts when you see your neighbor neglecting the grill this winter opting for the oven instead. Go to them and save their sole. Teach them the ways of a true grill master. Remember they are just lost and need your guidance. Show them how wonderful a meatloaf on the grill can be, as opposed to the greasy often soggy version of that which is cooked in the oven. Show them how that roast can have smoke imparted into the flavor in a way the stove could only hope to do. Go grillers, teach the world how to enjoy this desolate time of year with an open heart, open flame and some meat.
