Never grill in a garage, under a porch overhang, or  other enclosed area. Not only is the potential for a fire, but the carbon monoxide can build up and be deadly. <\/li><li>If grilling with gas, check the line for leaks. In  cold weather, parts become brittle and easily break.<\/li><li>Once you\u2019ve started your gas grill or built your fire, replace the grill lid and preheat the grill for  20-30  minutes.<\/li><li>Line charcoal grills with heavy duty aluminum foil, shiny side up,  to help  reflect heat. Poke holes through the foil  where there are any vents.<\/li><li>Have plenty of extra fuel. The colder temps will require more fuel than you normally use during the warmer months.<\/li><li>Resist opening the lid to check on things. Heat escapes fast in the colder air. <\/li><li>Allow extra time. Grilling and BBQ&#8217;ing  in cold weather can take anywhere from 30% to 100%t longer.<\/li><li>Remember, there is less light available during the winter months. If extra lighting is required a headlamp or clip on hat light can be very helpful.  <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/utzworks.com\/index.php\/product\/sampler-pack\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"376\" src=\"https:\/\/utzworks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_2896-1-1024x376.jpg\" alt=\"utz works sampler pack\" class=\"wp-image-2715\" srcset=\"https:\/\/utzworks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_2896-1-1024x376.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/utzworks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_2896-1-300x110.jpg 300w, https:\/\/utzworks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_2896-1-600x220.jpg 600w, https:\/\/utzworks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_2896-1-768x282.jpg 768w, https:\/\/utzworks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_2896-1-1536x564.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/utzworks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_2896-1-2048x752.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Sampler Pack of all 5 of our BBQ Sauces<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>UTZ Works BBQ sauces can be found at these <a href=\"https:\/\/utzworks.com\/index.php\/bbq-sauce-locations\/\">retailers<\/a> or by visiting our <a href=\"https:\/\/utzworks.com\/index.php\/shop\/\">online store.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It wasn\u2019t all that long ago that we retired our grills in the fall, stowing them in a corner of the garage or shed until better weather.
