I think we can safely say that the barbecue season is over for another year folks. It hasn`t stopped tippling it down for the past day and a half and once the rain stops I reckon the frost will hit us pretty hard. Over the summer we fired up our char-grill quite a few times and plenty of meat was grilled over the coals. Now we are in winter we`ll have to store the grill away until next year. Generally we leave the full unit in the garden and place a Large Bbq Cover over the top of it. The cover protects the barbecue from the weather and keeps garden debris of it at the same. I`ve found that once the Large Bbq Cover is in place the rain can lash it down as hard as it likes. The wind won`t bother the barbecue and if it snows the white stuff simply lies on the top of the cover until it melts or I decide to brush it off. Once the warmer weather arrives next year our Large Bbq Cover will be removed. Then it`ll be light the charcoal time because barbecue season will be in full swing and plenty of bangers and burgers will be getting grilled.
