Can you believe there are people who only grill during the Summer? I hope this isn’t you. If it is, stop it! You’re depriving your friends and family some of the best grilled and smoked foods of the year. Grillin’ when it’s chillin’ outside is one of the best ways to prepare meats and vegetables over a hot fire. Now go get that grill and smoker out of the Garage and fire it up. You have meat to cook!

The cool weather of Fall and Winter offers us backyarders a time to get out and grill up some of our favorite meat. Since the weather is so nice, why not make it a family affair? To me, cooking in the Fall and Winter sure beats standing over a hot grill when it’s 100 degrees outside. In fact, as I write this, it’s 28 degrees outside and I have a Venison roast in the smoker. Talk about good eats!

Wintertime grilling can be a Family affair. In fact, whenever we have friends over for a Holiday party, my grill and smoker is going strong. I’ve never had a complaint about the food we serve at these parties. In fact, many want to know when we’re having another one!

There are a few things you will need to keep in mind before heading out in the Winter to bbq. For starters, it will take longer for your grill or smoker to heat up. So plan accordingly.

If you’re using an electric smoker, you may have to wrap it in an insulating blanket. You can generally by these as accessories from vendors who sell smoker supplies. Whatever you use, make sure it’s fire proof. I know one fellow who set his smoker on fire and ruined one of his Wife’s quilts after wrapping his smoker!

Since your grill will cool down quicker, I like to use a little extra wood or charcoal. This helps the meat cook better and keeps your grill at the right temperature. Also, try and place your grill or smoker out of the wind. Even gas grills can have a problem staying hot if there’s a cold North wind blowing on it.

Another thing to keep in mind is the area around your grill or smoker. During the Summer, the vegetation was lush and green. Now it’s dormant, brown and brittle. Just right to ignite with a spark from your grill or smoker. If you have any doubts, hose down the immediate area around your cooking area.

Now go that grill fired up. You’ve been missing out on some of the best grilling of the year. In fact, you should try and grill and smoke some of your Holiday meals. A Ham right out of the smoker will surely put a smile on everyone’s face. Not to mention what a smoked Turkey will do!

Don’t you just love a deep fried turkey that has been cooked outdoors; it’s simply wonderful and absolutely nothing compares.

So, if you don’t want any problems, how do you go about deep frying a turkey outdoors?

In fact, it is really easy if you just stick to some simple guidelines:

1. Before beginning make sure you’re going to be using the right stockpot; I recommend the following sizes as appropriate:  use a 26-quart stockpot for birds up to 16-lb.; use a 30-quart stockpot for a bird up to 20-lb.; use a 34-quart stockpot for a bird up to 24-lbs, and use a 42-quart stockpot for a bird up to 27 lbs.

2. Do first make sure that your stove or burner is located on solid flat land and that the area where you’re going to be cooking is well away from where the family is playing. Have a bucket of sand handy in case you have a spill as well as a heavy duty cloth for covering the oil should it catch fire. Don’t ever throw water on hot oil if there is a fire, smother it instead, and then leave it alone with the gas turned off.

3. Do ensure that your burner is up to the task of heating your stockpot; if your burner rating is too small you’ll not be able to get the oil up to the required temperature. The minimum size burner you should consider using should have a rating of around 55,000 BTUs.

4. It is essential that you cook your turkey at the right temperature, which is 350 degrees F.  This means you need a thermometer. Whole turkeys only require 3 to 3.5  minutes per pound cooking time; so a 20 lb turkey only takes just over 1 hour; that’s quick!. That said, in cold, windy conditions it may require slightly longer.

5. Cook the turkey using the right amount of oil, no more no less. The proper amount simply depends on the size of the bird and the size of your stockpot. To assess the amount of oil needed, put the thawed turkey upside down on its poultry rack in the stockpot. Fill the pot with water until the poultry is covered then remove the bird with rack from the pot. The amount of water left in the pot is the same as the amount of cooking oil you’ll need.

6. Try to use peanut oil.  It contains no cholesterol and can be reused more frequently than other types of oil.  It is also safer as it has a higher flash point, and this reduces the risk of fire. You can use blends of peanut and soybean oil; but if someone is allergic to peanuts, then vegetable oil should be used.

7. Prepare your turkey well and do this well ahead of cooking. Typically, a generous portion of poultry seasoning should be rubbed under the skin and in the interior cavity. Salt and pepper or any dry rub can be used.  This really does make a great difference.   Try different mixes and concoctions until you find a family favorite.

8. If you have an injector, an injection marinade may be used.  Make sure you use a thin based liquid. The amount of seasoning and marinade is dependent on your taste. For outdoor meals, it is recommend you use a generous portion of about 1-2 oz. per pound.

9. When the time for the cooking is up, first switch off the gas. Then remove the bird and let it drain. It is important to have a tray handy to catch the dripping oil. Now this is critical. Leave the bird stand for at least 15 minutes; the rest will enhance the bird’s flavor and juiciness; and don’t go sticking in forks or cutting up sections with a knife until the resting period is up!

10. And lastly, don’t be concerned about having to clean the stockpot. All you need is warm soapy water and a rag to make sure you clean out the salt, pepper, and spices used during cooking.

The one thing I like more than anything about camping is cooking over an open flame. So do most campers. I love my Dutch oven, and so should you. If you don’t have one, you need to get one, especially if you’re an avid camper.

Be sure to get a 12-inch oven that’s been pre-seasoned. If you’ve never used one, don’t worry. You’ll get instructions on how to use it. All you need are the recipes, and that’s where I can help. Here are 3 to start with:

CAMPER’S CLAM CHOWDER:
2 potatoes, diced
2 6-ounce cans minced clams
4 slices bacon
3/4 cup flour
6 tablespoons butter
3 cups light cream
1/2 cup celery
1/8 teaspoon thyme
1/2 onion, chopped
salt and pepper to taste
1 clove garlic, crushed

With 12 coals on the bottom and 12 coals on the top, boil potatoes for about 10 minutes. Drain water and set aside potatoes. Cook bacon. When done, crumble and drain grease. Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in the Dutch oven. Add the celery, onion, and garlic. Saute slowly for 3-4 minutes. Add the clams and potatoes. Mix the flour in with the cream and butter and whip until lumps are gone. Pour in the cream/flour mixture and add salt and pepper to taste. Cook at a low boil for 10 minutes then reduce coals for a 20 minute simmer until soup thickens to your liking.

CHICKEN AND RICE:
1 pound bacon
4-5 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
2 cups water
1 10-ounce can chicken broth
1/4 cup diced onion
1 10-ounce can creamy mushroom soup
1 diced garlic clove
1 envelope dry onion soup mix
1-1/2 cups brown rice
seasonings to taste

With 12 coals on top and 10 coals on bottom, cook bacon until done. Drain grease. Add chicken, onion, and garlic. Lightly brown chicken. Add all other ingredients, blend together, cover, and allow to cook for 30 minutes. Remove lid, stir, cover, and cook for approximately 15 more minutes until rice and chicken are done.

CHUCK WAGON BREAKFAST:
2 pounds ground seasoned sausage or bacon
1/4 medium onion, diced
1 garlic clove, chopped
1 pound pre-cubed cooked ham
1 2-pound package cubed has browns
18 eggs
1/2 cup milk
seasonings to taste

With 12 coals on top and 12 on bottom, add sausage or sliced bacon. When meat is cooked, drain all grease. Add onion and garlic and saute for 4 minutes. Add ham and hash browns, cover, and cook until hash browns are done, stirring occasionally. In a separate bowl, whip eggs and milk. Add egg mixture to oven, stirring into meat, add seasonings, cover, and cook until eggs are done, stirring occasionally.

There you go. Pick one or all, and your next camping trip will be a huge hit. I hope you enjoy them.
