Get your Grill Ready

With the Memorial Day Weekend just around the corner it’s time to get some housekeeping done out on the patio.  That does include the grill. Here are some hints from “Heloise” on how to get your grill in shape for summer.

Remove all grates, clean with soap and water, and rinse well.

Check all the parts of the grill:  the burner, gas tubes and lava rocks (if used).  Make sure there are no bugs (they love to hide in the little spaces), grease or dirt in the line to prevent gas from coming through the lines or out of the burners.

Wipe down the entire grill, inside and out, with soap and water. Rinse and let dry.

Clean out any old grease from the collection pans or ashes that have accumulated.

Make sure the grill is set up away from the house and is not near any bushes or overhanging trees.

We own this grill and enjoy cooking out on the patio from time to time.  I would show you a picture of our grill however,  I think you might prefer looking at a picture of a “clean” grill.  This shall be my “inspiration” to get busy on the cleaning process.  We had dust storms passing through yesterday afternoon but this morning is shaping up beautiful.  I’ll chat with you soon!
