When the leaves start falling and that crisp chill sneaks into the air, many people think it’s time to cover up the grill and wait for the spring thaw. We recently covered how to get your grill ready for winter storage, but with our Denali series 6-burner grills, we want to let you in on a little secret: grilling season isn’t over—it’s just getting started! With a 6-burner grill, you’re perfectly equipped to take on fall and winter grilling, and we’re about to serve up some sizzling ideas for how to make the most of it.
Here are some great ideas to make the most of it :
1. Embrace the Season: Think Warm, Hearty Grilled Dishes
When fall hits, it’s time to bring out the comfort foods. Instead of light summer dishes, go for the hearty flavors that autumn is known for: roasted squash, grilled root vegetables, and even smoked meats. Imagine firing up your Monument Grills Denali 605 and using all that real estate to make something like maple-glazed pork chops with roasted butternut squash. The wide cooking area allows you to prep your veggies on one side while your main dish grills on the other, ensuring everything’s done at the same time and perfectly cooked. And with six burners, you can easily create indirect heat zones to prevent any unfortunate "crispy" moments.
2. Warm-Up for Winter: Hot and Spicy Recipes to Chase Away the Chill
Colder weather calls for bold flavors, and your grill is the perfect place to make something with a little kick. Try grilling up some chipotle-rubbed ribs or spicy BBQ chicken wings to warm you up. Since your 6-burner grill offers so much room, you can even invite friends over for the big game and serve up a feast without having to run inside to the kitchen. Throw some brats on the other side of the grill to satisfy every craving and keep your guests warm and toasty (and well-fed).
3. Winter Grilling Magic: Grill-Top Stews and Soups
Yes, you read that right—stews and soups on the grill! One of the big advantages of having six burners is the ability to create a truly customized heat setup. Using the pts and pans you already use, you can actually use your grill to make hearty stews, chilis, and even hot beverages. Here’s an idea: set up a big pot of chili on one side of your grill, letting it simmer slowly over low heat. Meanwhile, you can grill up some cheese-stuffed jalapenos or even warm up some crusty bread on the other burners. Imagine tailgating from the comforts of your back patio!
4. Don’t Forget the Holiday Feasts!
Did you know more people are searching for ways to cook their Thanksgiving turkey on the grill? It’s true, and if you haven’t tried grilling your holiday turkey yet, now is the perfect time. With your 6-burner Monument Grill, you have the control needed to pull off the perfect turkey. You can easily create a two-zone setup, keeping the burners directly under the turkey off while using the surrounding burners for indirect heat. This setup acts like an oven, but with that delicious smoky flavor you can’t get indoors. Cook that turkey alongside one of our smoker boxes filled with mesquite chips, and you will be sure to provide your guests with plenty to talk about around the table. Bonus points for freeing up space in the kitchen—your family will thank you!
5. Fun for the Whole Family: Hot Cocoa Bar & S'mores Station
If your kids, or you, let’s be real, have a sweet tooth, you can always set up your grill as a warm dessert station! Use one of the burners to keep a pot of hot cocoa warm, complete with a side of marshmallows, whipped cream, and toppings galore. On the other side, set up a s’mores station with all the regular fixings, letting everyone roast their marshmallows over the flame. It’s a simple, fun, and Instagrammable way to enjoy the cool-weather outdoors.
The Monument Grills Denali Series 6-Burner Difference: Why It's Perfect for Fall & Winter
Let’s be real here: not every grill can handle the job when temperatures drop. But with the 6-burner Monument Grills Denali Series, you’re ready for anything. The six burners give you maximum control over your heat zones, so you can slow-cook, roast, sear, or smoke without worrying about anything getting overcooked or burnt. And with the extra space, you have the flexibility to tackle multi-course meals without running out of room. The LED control knobs give you a clear indication of where things stand even with the earlier sunset.
So don’t pack away your grill just because it’s getting chilly. Your Monument Grills Denali Series grills are here to keep the good times rolling (and the food hot) through fall and winter. So, pull out the sweaters, grab some extra blankets for the outdoor seating, and let’s get grilling!
