"Throughout the summer months, the delicious aroma of sizzling sausages, grilled vegetables or a succulent piece of meat or fish is almost omnipresent as barbecues are fired up across the country. With the merest hint of sunshine, we are instantly ready, tongs in hand, to gather friends and grill in the open air. But, despite food tasting better outside, as soon as the kids go back to school, BBQs are generally banished to sheds and garages for the winter,"
"or left languishing under a cover in the corner of a patio or balcony until the first rays of summer sun shine again. Given the famously unpredictable weather in Ireland, it's not surprising that most people would rather not risk cooking their food outside.

A group of hardier enthusiasts, however, persist in year‑round grilling, throwing burgers on the grill in hail, rain or snow and even planning to barbecue turkey on Christmas Day.
