How to Clean Your Gas Grill

Prepare the Work Area

Before you start wiping away grime, gather all your cleaning supplies. Gloves are optional, and you’ll definitely want a brush, cleaning rags, a putty knife, soap, and water. Make sure to turn off the gas supply or disconnect the gas tank from the grill before beginning.

 

Clean the Visible Surfaces

Clean the grill section by section. Start by removing the grates, which can harbor charred food and grease. Scrub them with a coarse cleaning brush until you can see the original surface underneath. Target the surfaces around the burners next. You may have to remove the metal tents or ceramic briquettes to reach the burners. Don't forget to wipe the burner tubes while cleaning the surrounding area. Move to the bottom of the grill and lid, where bits of carbon and grease fall while grilling. Clean this section last because the residue from previous areas may fall to the bottom. You may need a putty knife to remove stubborn material stuck to the grill. The end is in sight! Clean the grease collection tray with a mixture of soap and water. You can also dispose of any reusable pans inside the grill.

 

Dispose of Waste and Reassemble the Grill

Congealed grease can be a nightmare for your drains. Scrape the material in the garbage when disposing of the waste from the collection tray. If you used the grill before cleaning it, give the grease time to cool first. You can also place the material in a non-recyclable container before throwing it in the trash. Give the outside a final pass with soap and water to make the exterior shine like the interior. Replace any removable parts, such as the metal tents or ceramic briquettes.
