To be fair, winter in Texas is rather more mild than it is in most places...
Regardless of weather, the convenience of being able to start cooking ~10 minutes after I start means I use the gas grill far more than I would if I was using charcoal. Not just for complete meal prep, but I'll use the grill do things like brown meat before it goes into another recipe that I'll then cook with the stove/oven.
