Can the outside temperature have an effect on a gas grill?

- Low temperatures:

>When the outside temperature is low, the gas grill may not be able to reach the desired cooking temperature, especially if the wind is blowing. Cold weather can make grills less hot because their cooking grates aren’t warmed as well by ambient heat and the grease doesn’t atomize, so some parts of the surface are hotter than others because less oil collects in cooler regions. This affects how food is seared during the grilling process which means you aren’t just getting those mouthwatering grill marks—the flavor is different when food is grilled. As long as you give a cold burner more warm-up time, they'll cook just as hot as gas grilling in the summer; they just need a bit more warm-up.

- High temperatures:

>When the outside temperature is high, the gas grill may overheat, or the food may cook too quickly before reaching a satisfactory level of doneness.
