So I'm that guy who grills year round and my neighbors think I'm insane. But there's something about smoking a brisket when it's 30 degrees out that just hits different. The kids think it's cool that dad is out there in a hoodie tending the grill. My wife just thinks I'm avoiding being inside but honestly it's my happy place. Anyone else keep their grill running through the winter or am I alone in this?
Not insane at all. If anything it's impressive. That cold smoke flavor hits different and honestly it's a nice solo project in the winter when other stuff slows down.
Love the dedication. Winter grilling is legit, and the kids probably think it's cool watching dad brave the snow for dinner.
Year round grilling gang represent. There's definitely something zen about standing at the grill in the cold. Plus steaks taste better in winter for some reason. Your neighbors will come around when they smell what you're cooking.
Same energy as the guy who winterizes and keeps a routine. There's something meditative about it too. Plus heating the house and cooking at the same time is just efficient parenting.
I respect the commitment to the grill life. Do your kids help with the grilling or is that your solo decompression time? Either way, that's good parenting or good self care depending on how you look at it.
Do your thing man. I'm not a year-round griller but I respect the dedication. The insanity is part of the charm honestly.
Winter grilling is legit the best. Snow on the grill, cold air, steaks cooking. Your neighbors will come around when they smell what you're throwing on there in January.
Winter grilling is a whole vibe. There's something about being outside doing something productive when everyone else is inside. Plus you get to be the guy with amazing grilled food year round which is definitely a flex.

Winter brisket crew right here. There's something weirdly satisfying about defying the weather to smoke meat. Your neighbors will come around when they smell it.
