There are a few important things you should take care of before you store your own grill for the season. Here are a few basic instructions that should work for any grill.
Clean the inside.
Start by firing up your grill on maximum heat and let it run for 15-20 minutes. After you turn it off and while the grill is still hot, use a wire grill brush to scrape off any food that hasn't already burned away. It will be nice and charred, making it easy to remove. If it's a charcoal grill, remove an leftover ashes. You can use soapy water or oven cleaner once the grill cools down to clean off the parts inside. (Make sure to check the owner manual so that you don't use any cleaner that will damage your particular grill.) Take it all apart, removing any grilling plates, flame shields, grease tray, etc..., clean them thoroughly, and rinse everything well. Don't forget to wash the inside of the lid where carbon monoxide has built up and left residue.Clean the outside.
While those parts are drying, use soapy water to clean the outside surfaces. Thoroughly wash off all knobs, handles, etc... Don't forget the propane tank on gas grills too. Be wary if you use any type of abrasive pad. Test it on a small section of the grill's surface first to make sure that you won't be damaging the finish. Clean the grill cover as well. If you find any rips or holes, buy a new one. It's a lot cheaper to buy a new cover now than to replace a damaged grill next year. If repairs are need to the grill itself, take care of them now so that it's ready to go right away next year.Test the grill.
If you have taken your grill apart to clean every nook and cranny, turn it back on to make sure that it has been reassembled correctly. Leaving it on for about 10 minutes will guarantee that the inside is nice and dry for storage.Store it properly.
In the case of gas grills, ALWAYS remove the propane tank. Store it in a well-ventilated area. Before placing your cover back over the grill, be positive that it is completely dry. The very best way to store your grill for winter is to house it inside a dry location like a garage or storage shed. If this isn't possible, try to at least keep it in a covered area, and be sure that the grill cover is properly in place.Head to Wobbly Boots Roadhouse!
