Keep Your Outdoor Cooking Gear Safe and Sound This Winter!

Protecting Your BBQs and Pizza Ovens

Rain, snow, and frost can be your outdoor cooking gear’s worst enemies. Rust? No, thank you! And let’s not even get started on critters turning your BBQ into their winter vacation spot. The easiest way to avoid these issues? Get a sturdy cover.

Here are some fab options to consider:

• Heavy-Duty 68” BBQ Cover by Montana BBQing: This bad boy is perfect for larger BBQs and even flaunts the BBQing.com logo. It’s tough, durable, and looks stylish while keeping the elements at bay.

• Gozney Arc XL Cover: Pizza oven lovers, this one’s for you. Designed specifically for Gozney ovens, it ensures your pizza maker stays in pristine condition.
• Weber Traveler Cargo Protector: Have a portable grill like the Weber Traveler? This cover will keep it clean and dry, no matter the weather.

A good cover is your first line of defense against winter woes. Make it a habit to cover up after every use (even if it’s just a quick snow-day BBQ session).

Keep Your Fuel Dry

Damp fuel is a no-go for those perfect char-grilled flavors. Whether you’re using charcoal, pellets, or firewood, proper storage is a must.

Here are some options to keep your fuel dry and ready for action:

• Big Green Egg Charcoal Storage Bag: Designed to keep your charcoal fresh and dry, this bag is a must-have for Big Green Egg users.
• Weber Fuel Storage Bag: A compact, sturdy option for Weber fans. It’s lightweight but gets the job done.
• Broil King Pellet Storage: Pellet grill enthusiasts, keep your pellets dry and tidy with this handy storage solution.

Store your fuel off the ground, preferably in a shed or garage, and seal it tightly to keep moisture and critters out.

Storing Larger Equipment

Not everything folds up neatly for winter storage, but there are still great solutions for your bigger outdoor cooking gear:

• Weber Works Outdoor Storage Bin: A versatile storage solution for all your grilling accessories and tools. It’s weather-resistant and perfect for winter organization.
• Oven Brothers Firewood Storage Rack: For those who love wood-fired cooking, this rack is a sleek and sturdy option for keeping your firewood dry and ready to burn.

A Few Final Tips:

1. Clean Before Storing: Give your BBQs and pizza ovens a good clean to prevent grease and food remnants from attracting pests.
2. Check Regularly: Even with covers, inspect your equipment every few weeks to ensure everything is holding up against the weather.
3. Don’t Forget the Accessories: Tools, thermometers, and grates can also rust. Store these in a dry place or in a storage bin like the Weber Works.

Winter doesn’t mean saying goodbye to your outdoor cooking adventures; it’s just about being prepared. Follow these tips, and your gear will be in tip-top shape for when you’re ready to fire things up again. Stay warm, and happy grilling! 🍽✨
