Seasonal Slump
« on: July 15, 2022, 05:17:20 PM »
I don't quite know why, but I have not really felt like cooking much this summer. I guess it goes in cycles. However, it seems like as a general rule I probably grill more in the fall and the cold of winter, than I do in the spring and the summer. Am I just backwards? Just curious if others have a particular season they favor for outdoor cooking.

Usually more Fall cooking for me in prep for Winter and I vac seal and freeze a bunch to eat while it is cold outside.

I did not vote as I am pretty consistent all year round.  Usually 3-4 days a week on one of the pits.

I don't have an off season, either. Any way to edit the poll?

I am all year round for the most part also. In the winter for smoke I use the little electric cookshack, I have a range hood over it for venting the smoke. Most of the other times I use one of the pellet or charcoal cooking things. I will say I use the gas griddle more than all of them combined.

All year here, I go in spurts.
Cook a bunch, then eat the all cooked meat in the freezer, then start cooking again.

 Lately, with age creeping up, being away and the regular May & June outdoor chores plus converting my 40 year + garden to grass, I have finally had some time to do some more outdoor cooking. Not as much

 as I used to do which was almost always daily..

 Long story short. Over the slump hump, for now.

 Yes there were times in the past where I simply didn't feel like cooking. For that matter doing much of anything.

The heat here has turned me off lately.  Been around 95--102 for the last 3 weeks or more. Still grilling/smoking but less frequent until it cools off.. Dry heat here, but as I recall, the heat in your area is more humid?

  Yupper! It's humid around the great lakes.. We live ~ 10 miles north of  lake erie.  Ironically, this year has been DRY. We have a 3 month rain deficit with little promise of kind of precipitation.

I know it can get hot in the summer especially for us seniors.  that said I do cook outside all year round to include the summer.  IMO the advantage of cooking outside in the summer is the house stays coolers as the stove is not on.

I try to cook outside during the summer too.  It's been over 100 here every day but two for about two months I think.

I cook outside year round here in Washington, DC.  I really dislike hot and humid weather so I tend to do quicker cooks in the summer to minimize my time outside checking on things.

You must be close to me. Same here in Tulsa, and next two weeks we will have temps up to 110*  New records for high and number of days. Looks like a new Dust Bowl is in progress. Hope and pray the electric grid does not fail.(as predicted)
