Cold Weather Grilling Tips
1) Remember, it will take longer for food to cook when
it’s cold, windy or wet outside. Rule of thumb: add 20 minutes
cooking time per pound for every 5 degrees BELOW 45 degrees F.
2) Every time you open the lid to your grill, you loose the heat in
the cooking chamber. Add at least 15 minutes extra cooking time each
time you check your meat on the grill.
3) In winter, move your grill to an area that is out of the wind and
cold. However, NEVER operate your grill in an unventilated area!
4) Purchase
a NEW Traeger Pellet Caddy to keep your pellets nice and dry!
5) Place an outdoor thermometer close to the area where you have your
grill. It will help you keep track of the outside air temperature and
help you determine how long it will take your food to cook.
6) When cooking in cold weather, it’s best to allow your grill
to heat-up on a high temperature setting for at least 20 minutes before
you place the food on the grill. You can always turn down the grill
temperature when you begin cooking.
