Grilling season is in full swing here in North Carolina.
As you are making your grocery list to stock up on burgers and hots dogs, don’t forget to make sure your propane cylinder has enough propane for your next grilling. If not, swing by one of our Parker Gas propane cylinder refill stations!
There are two more things to do: Clean your propane BBQ grill and keep it clean so it will always run safely and give you great results. Proper care also helps your grill have a longer lifespan and need fewer repairs and replacements.
Before you start summer grilling season, you should give your propane BBQ grill a thorough inspection and cleaning. Look for signs of wear or rust. Insects love to make themselves at home in the burner tubes, so inspect those well and clean them according to manufacturer’s instructions.
For regular maintenance cleaning, we’ve put together a to-do list. You’ll need rubber gloves, a bucket of hot and soapy water (dish soap is recommended), aluminum foil, and a grill brush.
You should do a cleaning of your grill at least once a month. Are you hosting a big cookout? Give it a good cleaning after that, as there may be more grease than usual in the grease trap.
You can help keep your grill clean by cleaning debris off the grates after each use, and keeping the grill covered when not in use.
