According to this blog, last year I packed the BBQ up for the winter at the end of September. However, that was delayed from my original plan by not having a suitable cover until the last minute. With the start of September the temperature seems to have dropped significantly, such that even the nice days have a noticable chill to them.
That being the case, I think I'll pack up our BBQ for the winter over this weekend.
The upshot of that, given that my birthday BBQ didn't really happen, is that it was used exactly once in 2019, to cook a couple of burgers as a test to verify that it was in fact still working after the winter. Frankly, it was barely worth the effort of unpacking the thing.
(Meanwhile at work I will continue to look out for a chance to have one more BBQ in the year. But that's less of an issue, both since it can happen at short notice if we do have a good day, but primarily because the work BBQ doesn't really have that same "packing up" ritual - the equivalent is just a matter of not getting it out for use.)
