How to Maintain a Gas Grill

Step 1: Grillin’ is Thrillin’
Anytime is a great time for grilling, but there's a lot more to gas grill maintenance than just cleaning the cooking surface. First disassemble the burners and clean them with a wire brush.

Step 2: Tape It Up
Place tape over any openings where gas enters the burners, then clean the grill of any charcoal and debris with a stiff-wire brush and warm water and a cleaning solution to clean out the interior of the grill.

Step 3: Sparkling Clean
Place the disassembled parts in warm, soapy water and clean the outside of the grill with soapy water, too.

Step 4: Get Cookin’
After being thoroughly cleaned and dried, put the pieces back together, rub vegetable oil to prepare the surface, fire up the grill.
