We've probably told you this before, but I think you're not getting it right. BBQ is for year-round! Stop making excuses, because I know deep down, you know you want to do it even in the winter. Everything is better on the BBQ! So when you're hosting for Christmas, it'll be the perfect time to show your guests what you're made of!
From whole turkey to pie or for your " tits " sausages rolled in bacon, everything is cooked on the grill. The secret to achieving this is indirect cooking.
Turn on the side burners and place the meat in the center. Since there is no fire directly below, the meat will cook instead of grilling, like in an oven, but it is so much better!
Additionally, if you need to grill vegetables you can place them on the sides, where the burners operate, to grill them.
Certainly, the best results will be obtained by cooking with charcoal and wood. You can add wood chips to your gas grill, but it will never match the perfection of a smoker . Even heat, easy to control even in winter, and of course, the famous smoky flavor.
You will still need to use indirect cooking in charcoal BBQs by placing your charcoal on one side or the other of the bowl. You can also make a bowl divider out of aluminum foil to have better indirect cooking. For simpler things, light the fireplace in the house and put your food on a stainless steel plate on the fire. Simple and effective, but don't forget to watch it, because it gets hot!
In short, it's not more complicated to cook on the BBQ and it's really worth it, you just have to find the inspiration and the courage to brave the cold!
