Grilling in
the winter
Lots of
folks are afraid to grill during the winter months because they find it too
cold or don’t like dealing with the snow. Me personally it’s my favorite time
of the year to fire up my Joe. Some will say that I am nuts but I personally get
more joy out of it I honestly find it more rewarding and personally love the challenges from it.
The colder it gets outside I find my Joe more efficient in maintaining temps
and it actually gets to desired temp a little faster.
The Kamado
Joe is made with a nice thick ceramic which makes it very efficient for
grilling in sub-zero temperatures. Get your grilling gloves on and do some
winter grilling its very rewarding and your Joe will never fail you and your
family, guess and friends will thank you for it.
Keeping warm while watching the grill in -20C lol
Here are my
tips to make your winter grilling more enjoyable:
1.
Always cover your Joe with a cover but place a towel on top of the Joe before
putting the cover on. The towel will absorb any moisture and prevent your
Kamado Joe from freezing shut;
2.
You can bring your Joe near your patio door so you don’t have to go too far
outside to grill or re-position it away from the cold winds;
3.
Use lighting cubes to light your grill instead of a electric lighter, or torch
so that way you don’t spend much time outside;
4.
I recommend using a Kick Ash Basket which gives the Joe a better air flow and
makes it a lot easier to clean and make lighting process of the Joe a lot
faster;
5.
Prep all your food inside your house;
6.
Dress warm for the weather and I also recommend using cast iron grates as it
retains heat better;
7.
Winter is also the best time of the year to do some cold smoking;
8.
Try to keep the dome close don’t open it unless you really need to.
It’s that
simple to grill in the winter get your grilling game on and don’t let the cold
or snow scare you from grilling!
Happy
Grilling!
