Just because there is some snow on the ground it doesn't mean you can't enjoy a BBQ.
Admittedly your family and friends may not want to sit around watching you cook and listening to the story about the big fish that got away.
They will however still enjoy the perfectly cooked steak, ribs or just about anything else you produce.
A winter BBQ does have it's own risks, not least of which is frost bitten toes if you try and wear the same flip flops you wear during the summer.
Here are a couple of pointers to make sure your winter BBQ is just as good as your summer ones.
Tip #1: Cleanliness Most of us put our BBQs away in garage or shed when summer is over, we then forget about them.
When you go and get it out for this one off cooking experience you must make sure it is clean.
Turning the gas on when the pipes and burners may have water in them could be very dangerous indeed.
If you use charcoal to cook with then you should use fresh bricks not the ones that have been sitting there for the last few months.
Tip#2: Prepping Your Meat During the summer we all tend to take our meat out of the fridge and put it straight onto the burners.
If you do this during the winter you could end up eating what tastes like old shoe leather.
You must allow your cut time to warm up to the same temperature as the room (not the outdoors) before you start cooking it.
These two tips will ensure that your winter BBQ is as safe and tasty as your summer ones are.
