But regardless of the season, it’s important enable keep your grill in fine working order so it’s ready whenever the ‘hankerin’ for tasty BBQ strikes your fancy.
As Always, Safety First
By following some basic guidelines, you be assured your grill is in top-shape and many outdoor cooking sessions will observe.
Attention! For any who’ve served in the military, standing at attention prior to inspection is routine. And inspecting your grill in order to be routine as well and deserving of your mind. (Except there’s no need to ‘assume the position’!) So let’s have a look in the grill different sure it’s in fine working order.
The fire is the main aspect of one’s grill. But things like bugs, spiders, bird nests and other critters can earn a home in the burner tubes and other ‘comfy’ hidden locations. An instant look over will uncover any obstacles that prevents gas from freely flowing to the ports.
Once an apparent gas flow has been assured, next check for leaks. Least difficult test for gas leaks is with liquid cleaning soap. (Yes, dish washing soap works fine.)
If you a bottle of spray you can mix up a little soap and water. In the event the spray bottle is not handy, squirting a little soap straight from the container will are the well.
Assuming you’re outside (because it’s never a good idea to operate your gas grill in any environment except for a well ventilated area), make sure the control knobs are usually pointed towards ‘off’ positioning.
Next, turn the gas valve just a little to open the flow and begin spraying the soap – or soapy solution – on the joints in the gas line and around the connections for the tank. Bubbles forming mean there’s a leak. A bad one. But easier find it now than could happen later.
To stop the leak – and bubbles, tighten the seals. That should take care of the item. If it doesn’t, parts could be too worn and need replacing. Once you’re through with your leak inspection, don’t forget to in order to close the gas valve!
If possess a spare propane tank, it’s not advised to store it using your grill. Yes, it’s a handy location you know anywhere it is if you want to buy but it’s not a good idea. In fact, storing them in any area of enclosed space isn’t advised. It’s best to have them outdoors, inside upright position, and certainly away from curious little ones.
Keeping your grill clean is a well informed move there’s a regarding ways achieve this. Some outdoor chefs like to cook on aluminum foil. This keeps the grilling surface as well as shiny and making repair a simple crumple-n-toss motion!
