ever had a bbq in winter

thinking of having a bbq this week, inviting family, enclosing part of the garden to keep the heat in, lighting the chimenea and star gazing. :cool:

have you ever tried it and what was the outcome

We sometimes have winter BBQs, but it usually just means that I will go outside to cook (with the BBQ to keep me warm), then we'll eat inside. It's largely because my girlfriend can't go for long without the taste of beef grilled over charcoal (she's from Argentina...)

I think with the current weather it wouldn't be very comfortable standing around outside unless you were right next to a heat source.

Yeah we've had a few. .Remember one year It started raining heavily so we just moved it under a beer garden sized brolly and carried on. It didnt help that we just got covered in smoke but it was great fun and always a drunken one

put a gazebo up over your seats before with a few sides to keep the heat in from a decent heater always a laugh . Let the beer and the barbie take over

Being from South Africa we have BBQ's all year round and have even cleared thick snow from the patio so we could BBQ. As long as you light a fire pit or chiminea you should be fine, perhaps try to get a patio heater as well

So long as its a dry day (blue sky) it sounds ace.
