Here’s a 4-step guide to cleaning your BBQ for grilling season:
- Remove grates and clean: Start by removing the cooking grates from the BBQ. Scrub them thoroughly with a wire brush to remove any leftover food particles, grease, and residue. For stubborn grime, you can soak the grates in warm, soapy water before scrubbing.
- Clean the interior: Once the grates are removed, clean the interior of the BBQ. Use a grill brush or scraper to remove any buildup on the burner covers, heat deflectors, and inside walls. Wipe down the surfaces with a damp cloth or sponge to remove any remaining debris.
- Check the burners: Inspect the burners for any clogs or damage. Use a brush or pipe cleaner to clear out any blockages in the burner ports. If you have a gas BBQ, check the burner tubes for corrosion or rust and replace them if necessary.
- Clean the exterior: Finally, give the exterior of your BBQ a good cleaning. Use a mild soap or BBQ cleaner and a soft cloth to wipe down the exterior surfaces, including the lid, handles, and control knobs. Rinse with water and dry thoroughly.
With these simple steps, your BBQ will be clean, shiny, and ready for grilling season!
