Outback LogoGrandhall Logo The one problem which can cause issues is wind, to be able to maintain the required temperature inside the barbecue, place it in a sheltered spot – NOT inside though! With charcoal when it’s colder, you may need to add more briquettes to your charcoal BBQ to keep the temperature at its optimum – remember to store briquettes somewhere dry. Light your charcoal BBQ well in advance, it can take briquettes slightly longer to heat up when it's colder. Place them into the BBQ and open all the vents fully, place the food on the grills, close the lid and away you go. All you need to do now is go back inside and get warm or stand with a Fireplace lit – BBQing in winter has never been so fun!
