Poll: Do you barbecue in winter?

Hi everyone,

On the front page you'll notice that we have a new feature on Workshop - discussion polls. We will update the polls regularly and hope you enjoy participating.

The early results from our first poll suggest Workshop members might be a little soft! Don't forget to add your vote and feel free to discuss the topic by replying below.

yeah BBQ regularly in winter, the barbie is out the back door so not hard to slip out there. The only problem i have to deal with is there are often kangaroos standing next to it and we both get a fright when it is dark and i go out the back door.

It's not so much the cold that's the problem it's the dark. It can be hard to see if the food is cooked or not!

@Barker - the darkness is no excuse!

Absolutely, BBQ all year round. Especially big roasts.

Absolutely. Ours gets a flogging all year round. I think the only time we give it a rest is when we stick a roast or a beer can chook on the webber. Nothing like a nice piece of dead animal on the ol' BBQ with a refreshing ale in hand.

@Jason

Today, I cooked a feast of 5Kg of diced roo, & 2Kg of diced beef with herbs, on our gas fired outdoor wok, does that count?

@rexster

Kangarros don't scare me. ; )

Thanks for your votes everyone, the poll is now closed. It seems Workshop members are made of the right stuff, after all.

Here's the final results:

I find that I do grill more in winter, but still smoke where I can. On cold days, particularly wet and windy ones, it can be hard to hold a consistent temperature for long slow cooking. It its a good day though, lets get those coals going.

I BBQ all year round nearly every night on my Weber Q beats using the oven and griller i am on my Back deck under cover i just like

cooking outdoors i just purchased a smoker but it can not go under or in my back deck area concrete outside near my pool but hey

Smoking Properly takes 3 to 4 Hours so still a Junior at this one.

Nothing like a BBQ and a nice cold beer or two even in Winter ( can't understand people that state you do not do BBQ's in winter )

Summer is usually to damn hot you just feel like Deli Cold Meats and Salads anyway that's my opinion

Cheers

Ken

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @Ken1951.

It's great to have you join us and fantastic to hear that you're outside on the barbeque even in the cooler months. I too find myself not particularly wanting to stand over a hot barbie during summer. We look forward to hearing about the projects around your house and garden and encourage you to let us know anytime you need assistance or have a project to share with the community.

Absolutely! BBQ all year round but it does get more of a workout in Summer.

Had neighbours around yesterday and did some flame grilled chicken, lowish-n-slowish beef, and some good o' sausages. Always a treat.

We BBQ all year round.

One thing I like when standing at the BBQ in winter is the warmth that comes off it.

Oh and less flies in winter!

MoonshineBen

Definitely! Longer lower and slower cuts are the go for winter. Perfect to sit by the firebox.

sydneysider

absolutely, our weber q gets a good workout across the year. Nice to stand next to it in winter too.... we have a covered deck so can use it in all weathers

I slow cooked a brisket yesterday and some corn bread for the first time. No complaints from the family!

What have you been cooking lately?
