Grilling season is back!

[anti-everything]

What did everyone grill this week? I grilled bratwurst a couple times, pork tenderloin, burgers, steak, and polish sausage.

1. Grilling season never completely goes away...

we grill year 'round...it's just that some days it's more comfortable than others.

:hi:

2. I do too, it's just

the every night grilling season now. it gets down to -30 or -40 here in the winter. I will still grill, but we usually cook indoors in the winter. This time of year, outdoor cooking is the way to go.

3. What she said!

We grill year round here.

I had steak & chicken on the grill this week.

ETA:
Plus I grilled veggies. Love those on the grill. :9

6. That tri-tip steak must be a West Coast thing. I've read about it, but never seen it

in any store here in New England. What's it like?

8. Tri tip is bottom sirloin.

A very good cut of meat. Also known as Santa Maria steak. The only place I've ever found it either in the Midwest or on the East coast is Costco.

10. costco carries the Morton's ones vacuum sealed and marinated----so goood.

16. I don't think we have any Costcos around here, but then again, I do not shop. I'll have to

ask Mrs R if there's one in the area.

5. Never goes away for us. We have the grill hooked up to a 100-gallon propane tank, so we can burn

through the worst of winter weather and not worry about running out of gas.

9. That's cool!

I don't mind grilling in deep snow and bitter cold... I just hate changing the propane tank in the winter.

[anti-everything]

11. Yes,

Changing the propane tank with completely numb hands in 30 below. It is an experience all its own.

[Redstone]

12. I didn't see the part about 30 below until after I made my post. Even Mrs R, the diehard griller,

would declare it closed season at THAT temperature.

It never gets much below 20 above here; our winter average is about 30, I think, so we're kind of in the junior leagues when it comes to winter grilling.

14. Our January average high is around 20 above here.

I love the cold, but it's tough to grill in teens and 20's below. It's also tough to grill in a blizzard, which we also get here.

[Redstone]

13. Well, the 100-gallon tank isn't JUST for the grill; we're not COMPLETE maniacs...

it's also for the kitchen stove and the propane firelogs.

But damn, is it ever convenient to have a guy come and fill up the thank every month or so instead of having to lug those 20-pounders around.
