We’re salivating just thinking about the aromas of burgers, kabobs, salmon, and veggies crackling on the grill. Smart backyard cooks know doing a pre-season grill tune-up is essential for a great Memorial Day meal to kickoff summer.
Our gas grill checklist:
- Start with the owner’s manual for best ways to clean your grill
- Pay special attention to the grease trap
- Clear out any dust, debris, spider nests, etc.
- Inspect for broken parts, and for holes, cracks, and brittle areas on hoses
- Mix a little dish soap with water in a spray bottle, turn on the gas, and spray connections and hose to look for bubbles, indicating leaks. Tighten loose connections and replace the hose if necessary
- Follow a good clean-up routine after each use to prolong your grill’s life, performance, and safety
You now have the green flag to indulge your passion for excellent barbeque!
