How to clean and maintain outdoor barbecue grills？

Love barbecue is to love your barbecue. As with any good relationship, maintaining it requires some work. Fortunately, there is very little time spent on barbecues, and the rewards of hard work are huge. It doesn’t matter whether you are dealing with top-of-the-line models or cheap imitations: important seasonal cleaning combined with daily (or every use) scrubbing can improve the cooking performance of your grill and keep your relationship on a solid basis for a long time time.

Clean the grille and shelves

After each use, the grille grille and shelf and any other food-contacting surfaces should be cleaned. For best results, please wait until after baking. When the temperature of the stove is low but the temperature is still high, use a high-quality stainless steel grill brush to clean the food particles to scrub the grate and shelves. Use the built-in scraper of the brush (if available) for grilling food, or use a separate scraper tool. Wipe off the grille and shelf with a damp cloth to remove loose debris, and make sure there are no loose brush bristles on the grate (you really don't want to use filamentous bristles in anyone's food).

Clean the charcoal grill

In addition to cleaning the cooking surface, the ash in the charcoal grill must be removed after each use. The ash left on a grill can collect moisture, and the ash and moisture can be equivalent to a cement-like substance, which is a monster that can be removed.

In order to quickly clean up the dust, please place a metal (not plastic or any combustible) bucket with a lid next to the grill, and pour in the ashes and waste coal when everything has cooled down.

Store the bucket in a place where it will not get wet. When the bucket is full, transfer the collected ash to the garbage, and you are sure that there is no gas still burning. If you choose lump charcoal, ash handling becomes easier because it has relatively less ash compared to briquettes.

At the beginning and end of each barbecue season, or if grilling throughout the year, at least once a year, use hot soapy water and a hard nylon brush to thoroughly clean the charcoal grill.

Clean the gas grill

Because of the "clean" settings on many gas grills, people who use gas grills usually think they clean the grills for free at home. This setting will heat the grill and burn off some particles, but it is not a substitute for regular cleaning.

Clean the grate and shelves every time you use it, and clean the heat shield under the grate every third or fourth time. Clean up at least once a year, including the burner and the bottom of the cooking compartment. This seasonal or annual cleaning requires some simple disassembly so that each part can be cleaned separately and thoroughly dried before reassembling the grill.

Cover your outdoor barbecue

This may seem obvious, but if you put it outdoors, it is necessary to cover the grill. If there is no cover, then all the dust, dirt, pollen, spider webs and insect mess that cover your deck or patio during the off-season will also cover your barbecue. In addition, the grill is kept dry, which helps reduce corrosion of metal parts.
