How to Clean Your Grill

Now that you have a belly full of delicious steak and a gallon of wine, it’s time to get down to business again. Whether an outdoor gourmet grill or an American outdoor grill, as much as it is fun to grill, cleaning it afterward is not something that one looks forward to. However, why delay the inevitable? Keeping your grill clean avoids sudden flare-ups and ensures you serve delicious food instead of burnt morsels garnished with ash. So, dismantle your outdoor table for grilling and get going with our tips on cleaning a grill the right way.

Step 1: Bring in the buckets

If you are like most people, it has probably been a while since your grill or even your outdoor table for grills has been cleaned. Start the clean-up process by taking two large buckets and filling them with warm water. Add liquid soap to the water before removing the cooking grids from the grill and submerging them in the soapy water. Soak them for some time while you crack open another beer. If you use a charcoal grill, you can also dismantle the ashtray and the grids that help store the briquettes before adding them to the water as well. Finally, disassemble any other part that comes free effortlessly.

Step 2: Dust it off

Take a rag and use it to remove the loose ash and dust from the grill. Next, take a sturdy bristled brush, dip it into clean, soapy water, and scrub off the stubborn, caked residue sticking to the grill. If you use a gas grill, make sure not to disturb the connections to the propane tank. 

Step 3: Back to the grids

Remember the grill equipment soaking in the water? Check on them and see how much effort it takes to clean the dirt. The greasy, caked residue should start coming off by now, but you should still give it some time to come off completely.

Step 4: Give it time

Once you have cleaned the grease and the dust, allow the parts to dry completely. After it is done, reassemble the grill and set up your outdoor table for grills again. And, that’s it—unless you use a gas grill. In that case, we suggest you take a minute to ensure that the burner is working properly, the flame shield is placed correctly, and your outdoor table for grilling is conveniently set.

Pro-tip: Instead of procrastinating (we understand, we are guilty of it, too), make it a habit to clean the grill after every use. The longer the charred food remains on the cooking grids, the more difficult it becomes to get rid of it. Once the grids cool after your grilling session, spray them generously with vegetable oil and scrub the grime off with a wire-bristled brush. Finally, wipe the grids with a paper towel. If you follow this routine after every barbecue night, you will not have to go through the hassle of giving your grill a tedious and time-consuming cleaning. 

Conclusion

Choosing the best grill can be tricky, what with the various features they are equipped with. Buyers should consider the fuel, grill type, size, and the number of burners to pick what’s right for them. Grills need to be able to withstand outdoor elements as well as internal heat, so it is also crucial to check out the material of the grill before making a purchase. Once you find most of the features you need, do not hesitate to add it to your cart and get the party started. But first, let’s set up the outdoor table for grills, shall we?
