I understand what you may be thinking: using the Blackstone grill during this time of year could be impossible or unenjoyable. However, I urge you to hear me out! Even though it’s a different experience than grilling in the summer sun, I find it more fulfilling.
There is something about devouring hot and sizzling food straight from the grill that warms my soul and brings me comfort in chilly weather. Depending on where you live, your winters might be more rainy or snowier. But these conditions don’t stop the Blackstone! Of course, it’s ideal to pick a day where it isn’t actively snowing and to make sure you probably prepare the grill and area, ridding the pathway of snow or moving the grill to a less windy area.
But once the preparation is out of the way, you can make fantastic, hearty food that will please your palate. In the winter especially, I love satisfying foods such as Blackstone Smash Burgers, patty melts, or an excellent breakfast hash. Check out this list to see some of my other favorites that you should try!
