Get Your BBQ Ready for Spring: 5 Tips

March 12, 2016 by Beeb 1 Comment

Get Your BBQ Ready for Spring

As the weather slowly thaws out, it’ll soon be time to blow the dust off that grill in anticipation of family picnics! Steve Gauci, Director of Retail Operations at Napoleon Gourmet Grills, has five helpful tips for getting your grill ready to come out of storage:

  • Clean the searing grids.
  • Soak the cooking grills in warm water and soap before giving them a good cleaning to get rid of the grease and food crust that has been burnt on. Season them for the coming season and get ready from incredible grilled flavours all summer long.

  • Clean the grease cup.
  • The more you use your grill, the more you will have to clean or replace your grease cup. Before firing up your grill, take out the old and put in the new.

  • Scrape off the grease tray.
  • All the grease and food remnants from past meals collect and char on the grease tray. No need to get out the soap and water for this one, but give it a good scrape with a spatula or putty knife to clean off all the bits.

  • Check for leaks.
  • Inspect your hose and fittings to ensure everything is in order and that there are no leaks. Do a soap test to be safe: in a spray bottle or small bowl, mix one part water to one part dish soap. Apply the mixture (spritz it or apply with a small brush) to all fittings. Make sure your lid is open and all the control knobs are turned off. Turn on your gas – any growing bubbles are a sign of a leak that needs to be addressed.

  • Clean the igniter and burners.
  • While your searing grids are soaking, remove the heat shields (give them a good scrape as well) so you can run your barbecue brush over the burners. This is also a good time to check your igniter and rear burner to make sure all is in working order.
