Picture this:

it’s freezing outside, snow is falling, and all you and your family can think about is a big, juicy steak. A true barbecue fan knows that the pleasures of barbecuing can be enjoyed during any season: all it takes is a little creativity and the right equipment. You’re going to need your coat, hat, scarf and your Weber Premium Gloves, which protect your hands from burning while also keeping them warm. 

There is nothing like that fresh, chargrilled flavour that you get from your Weber Master Touch Premium grill – designed to withstand any type of weather. Once you bring the food inside, you will know that it’s all worth it. 

So grab your grilling gloves, fire up the barbecue, and turn dinner into something really special. It doesn’t just have to be steaks! Why not try keeping it seasonal with spiced pumpkin cakes, roast beef or a superfood stew? And while it may be a bit frosty for a beer, a hot white Russian, mulled cider or a virgin hot toddy might be just the thing to keep everyone warm and merry.
