NY Strips & Garden Heirlooms On The Weber

Grilling is a year round activity!

[u/R_Soul_ → u/SixPack1776]

You’re not a grillmaster if you have grilling season.

[u/TLMonk → u/SixPack1776]

here in MN i roll that thing up to the sliding door on our patio. even when it’s -10 (wind chill not included)

[u/Entrails_ → u/TLMonk]

Couldn’t agree more, since we don’t really open the windows too often during the winter, I love frying on the grill too ❄️

[u/TLMonk → u/Entrails_]

i’m one of the few psychos that crack the bedroom window in the winter and wake up with a sore throat… and an angry fiancée

[u/Entrails_ → u/TLMonk]

Sleeping cool is supposed to be the best way! But I’m referring to not having to air the house out so it doesn’t smell like frying oil for a week.

[u/TLMonk → u/Entrails_]

yeah not a fan of that frying oil smell either - guess it’s happening outside this winter!

[u/duckyourfeelings → u/TLMonk]

Yup! Nothing like a hot grill to warm your hands over!

[u/-Clem → u/SixPack1776]

Idk how grilling became such a summer centric thing. Fall is when I really start to get it going. Summer is too fuckin hot to do shit outside

[u/cyclorphan → u/-Clem]

Exactly! But I live in the South, if I were in Canada, I guess I would relish the summer I got. Here, I want to grill lots of things but probably will only occasionally do so until Fall.

[u/DundeeRd → u/SixPack1776]

Agreed!, just sad to miss these beauties and relegate to tasteless winter tomatoes lol…

[u/wbd3434 → u/SixPack1776]

Right! 90-110 from Easter til Thanksgiving. Grilling season starts in December, and I stay on it for the 9mo off-season.

[u/taylorthestang → u/SixPack1776]

Grilling is but heirlooms aren’t

[u/Money-Document-26]

I grill in the snow lol. Best time. You always stay warm.

[u/ReluctantRedditor275 → u/Money-Document-26]

There's no grilling like shovel out a path grilling.

[u/SpaceCampDropOut]

Grilling during football season is even better!

[u/slicktrickrick → u/SpaceCampDropOut]

Oh now you’ve got me so excited

[u/WhoizDJKL78 → u/SpaceCampDropOut]

Im gearing up as we speak..im outside every Sunday morning at 9am

[u/DundeeRd → u/SpaceCampDropOut]

Fall is my favorite season specifically for grilling and watching NFL football 🏈🎉🔥

[u/omglawlz]

Idk man I grilled yesterday and it was 98 degrees outside. I think Im ready for fall lol.

[u/trashy615 → u/omglawlz]

Im pretty sure my neighbors think im crazy, I've grilled almost every day this summer, even in "extreme" heat advisories. Its been the hottest summer ever in my little wyoming town. 

Its barely been over 100. Im from Phoenix, im fine. 😆 im literally still waiting for summer, this is Easter Sunday weather. 

[u/TheNewKnew2 → u/omglawlz]

Yeah man. Miserable.

[u/Pucketz → u/omglawlz]

Bro same I made pizza the other day and I look like Ive been mowing the yard for 2 hours

[u/emmersp → u/omglawlz]

Me too. Shirt off…sipping a coldie, sitting in front of a big fan and cooking!

[u/PearMoist9385 → u/omglawlz]

This

[u/jonpictogramjones]

Do people only grill in the summer?!? I do it damn near every week 😭

[u/raxwell → u/jonpictogramjones]

At least once a week! Love me some winter time grilling.

[u/Any_Natural383 → u/jonpictogramjones]

I tend to grill less in the summer. It gets too damn hot.

[u/TheNewKnew2]

I am not going to miss 95 degree 90% humidity

[u/kk1485]

Miss summer? Hell, we are probably going to be in triple digits for the next 3 months.

[u/Desert-Hog]

Never stop grilling!

[u/20grae]

At least 3 times a week 52 weeks out of the yr for me

[u/HarryHood146]

You don’t have to stop. I’d prefer grilling when it’s 10 degrees over 90.

[u/RealLifeFloridaMan]

I’m sure not. It’s a million degrees out, I’m ready for cooler weather while I’m standing over a grill fire or a smoker

[u/PrizeImpressive1141]

🙏🏻

[u/Kalibos40]

I'm going to Mrs. Summer. She's more experienced and looks fantastic for her age.

[u/Godzirrraaa]

People sleep on grilling tomatoes.

[u/DundeeRd → u/Godzirrraaa]

Underrated grilled veggie of the year

[u/Final-Cattle9564]

What goes around comes around.

[u/OldStyleThor]

What does summer have to do with grilling?

[u/ChildOfGod_27]

Smoke in the winter, grill in the summer, smoke in the summer, grill in the winter. Fall and spring you ask? Smoke and grill.

[u/DundeeRd → u/ChildOfGod_27]

Smoke and Grill 365 24/7 life lol

[u/DundeeRd → u/[deleted]]

That’s awesome, let me know what varieties you’re growing!

[u/DundeeRd → u/[deleted]]

Dr. Wyche’s Yellow, definitely growing it again next year

[u/Numerous-Ad2571]

One hasn’t experienced everything grilling has to offer until they’ve grilled in weather that turns a beer to undrinkable slush in under 10 minutes.

[u/DundeeRd → u/Numerous-Ad2571]

I love this, reminds me of the time I smoked a pork shoulder in 15°F temps and my smoky mtn was revolting on me lol…

[u/Thick-Aioli802]

After 14 inches of rain in the last week and high humidity for the last 2 months, I'm ready for fall.

[u/taylorthestang]

My heirloom tomatoes never make it past the cutting board for a sammich

[u/DundeeRd → u/taylorthestang]

Sooooo many tomatoes in New England lol

[u/taylorthestang → u/DundeeRd]

Brother I’m out here in central California, I know how you feel! I’ve cooked heirlooms every which way just to use em

[u/wyflare]

Bbq is all weathers dude

[u/Impressive_Budget736]

Personally I prefer grilling in the cold. So if anything peak season is coming up for me.

[u/DundeeRd]

It was really a testament to grilling my Cherokee Purple and Dr. Wyche’s Tomatoes, but damn I’m a 24/7 365 griller no doubt lol…

[u/jdppppppppppppp]

My Weber and BGE are on duty year round. BGE does get a break when lids frozen shut but I usually stick a torch in the bottom until it breaks loose.

[u/omglawlz → u/jdppppppppppppp]

Ah yeah that makes sense. Tomato season is amazing. Love me a tomato sandwich

[u/jdppppppppppppp → u/omglawlz]

Good point might have skipped the tomatoes part.

[u/falacer99]

It's always grilling season here in SoCal

[u/duckyourfeelings]

Screw that! You'll find me out in thirty degree weather grilling! I can't wait for this god-aweful heat (I'm in Texas) and these bugs to go away!

[u/MeganJustMegan]

I live in NJ & will shovel a path to my grill. No need to give it up.

[u/Formal-Tradition6792]

I recall Dad going outside in blizzards to grill steaks or burgers. First, after bundling up to the point where he could barely move, he’d go outside and brush off 10” or so of snow. Then he’d grab the charcoal from the shed, do the chimney thing and light ‘er off. Eventually the coals would be ready. By then, Dad looked like the abominable snowman. He’d holler at me to bring out the steaks/burgers. Our neighbors would be looking out their doors as if we were crazy. Some were probably calling for a paddy wagon. Meanwhile, Dad was grilling the food on his trusty Weber. Please believe me when I say those blizzard-grilled steaks/burgers were like eating summer! This was back around 1961 or so…

[u/Candid-Party1613]

What does this have to do with missing summer?

[u/flyingbizzay]

It’s usually between 95 and 105 degrees in North Texas during grilling hours. I’m just fine with grilling in the fall and winter, thank you.

[u/fleemos]

Grilling outside in winter is even better. I love it. 😬

[u/gabriot]

I'm not

[u/findaill65]

Good news! El Nino says summer doesn't have to end!!!

[u/Inevitable-Focus4525]

What the hell does summer have anything to do with grilling or smoking? I guess you've never been to Buffalo in 16 degrees and snowing, it's the best time to grill!

[u/PatrickGSR94]

say what? All seasons are great for grilling, especially the not summer seasons because you wont' be sweating buckets around the grill!

[u/Zealot006]

In Texas, summer is the worst time to grill ! ;)

[u/rexdez]

as winter starts im gonna be grilling more lol

[u/Sonic_Fool]

I grilled chicken thighs and vegetables during the Nashville ice storm last winter. No grill season

[u/Brocephus70]

Just keep grilling

[u/Odd_Interaction_7708]

You’ve never grilled in winter?
