Gas grills are useful because they require little prep time. All you have to do is go out, turn on the propane tank and turn on the burners. While that seems nice when the sun is out and the temperature is nice, it can be a hassle on a windy and rainy day.
Wind can cause the flame to go out on your grill, which will keep your food from getting cooked and will allow gas to seep out of the grill. Here are some steps you can take to protect your gas grill during wet and windy days:.
The grill will still excrete gas, which can be a safety hazard. If you notice that the flame has gone out, turn off all the gas valves and open the cover of the grill to let any gas escape.
You can also try and grill behind a windbreak, like a wall or temporary block. Did you know that food trucks use propane to power their ovens? While a poncho can protect from light rain, it may not do so well against a downpour or wind.
You can use a shelter to protect your cook and your grill from the rain. Canopy tents and patio umbrellas are two of the cheapest and easiest options for a makeshift grilling shelter. Make sure there is proper airflow and ventilation so the smoke can escape. Never bring your grill inside your house to grill food, not even in your garage.
Always have an extinguisher need by in the case of a fire emergency. Always keep an eye on your grill to ensure everything is running smoothly. If you have an overhang or open-sided carport, such a shelter could make grilling possible no matter how heavy the rain is. The down side? It could potentially set your carport on fire.
Those with lidded grills will certainly be slowed, but with the lid down your grill will at least hold the heat. You will need to keep the grill lid dry to protect it from cooling down. Of course, those using barbecue cookers such as the Pit Boss require little protection while grilling in the rain.
Believe it or not, many foods taste better when cooked at high heat and high humidity. Barbecue expert Clare Edwards encourages grillers to remember that. Start early and be prepared to cook hotter. If this means you need more charcoal or another gas canister on stand-by, make that investment. Adjust your food choices so you can grill smaller cuts of meat and smaller packets or pieces of produce.
Rain will cool your grill. Weather is often unpredictable so considering taking a grill umbrella and a grill wind shield with you if you want to grill on vacation. Be prepared, but always take the opportunity to grill outdoors in good weather, too! Your email address will not be published. This site uses Akismet to reduce spam.
