I live upstate NY, all four seasons here, and I grill all year... cold doesn't
deter me, not even snow, but I don't grill when it's raining, and I'd much
rather grill on a crisp cold clear winter night than during mid summer when
it's HOT, hummid, and buggy... like how long does it take to grill something
anyway, even a two inch thick london broil is done before my second glass of
wine. And with a great Weber there's no need to tend the grill -- light it and
step indoors while it heats. Then outside to slap on yer big meat, shut the
lid, and lower the heat. Step indoors and hit the timer for 6 minutes -- back
out after six and flip yer big meat to cook another 6. That's it... don't spend
more than 3 minutes outdoors... the goblet of dago red in my right hand doesn't
even catch a chill, 'cause I only need one hand to do my big meat.
