With the cold weather right around the corner it’s important to get your grill prepared for the long hibernation it has to endure for the next few months. If done properly your gas grill will be ready to jump back to life next spring with as little maintenance as possible and you’ll be protecting your investment for the future.
Although it’s a sad process when the time comes that you can no longer grill outside, winterizing your grill is a fairly simple process and can easily be done in a short period of time
Giving your grill a quick cleaning is the first step in winter prep. Heat the grill on high with the lid closed for fifteen minutes to burn off all the food particles and grease on the grates. Allow the grill to cool completely and brush down the grates with a brass grill brush. Next, remove the flavorizer bars, soak and clean with soap and water, and allow them to dry. These could also be cleaned in the dishwasher. Then, scoop out and clean the sides and bottom of the grill with soap, water, and a plastic brush. Finally, clean out the grease trap and allow the grill to dry completely, then reassemble. Now the cleaning process is complete.
Just to make sure the grill is completely dry it doesn’t hurt to fire it up for a few minutes and let all the moisture dry out. Once the grill is cook this is also a good time cover any stainless steel parts with cooking spray or canola oil. This will help with preventing rust from forming. Next, you can close the propane tank valve and remove the hose from the grill. Also open and close the burner valves to release any trapped gas. That’s it, you’re done. Cover your grill and move it to its storage location.
If you’ve followed these steps now, you’ll thank yourself when the spring time rolls around as your grill will be in tip top shape for the beginning of grilling season.
