You’ll need:
- Warm soapy water
- Clean rag
- Dish soap
- Wire brush
- Large sponge
- Vacuum
- Putty knife
- White vinegar
- Baking soda
Step 1: Heat it up
Let’s get the party started, my friends, by firing up your griller or smoker. So, why is this step important? Well, it’s all about softening and loosening those pesky carbon deposits. And here’s a pro tip: If you happen to own a charcoal griller, simply place the grates on your indoor kitchen stove for a sizzling hot session. So easy! Let the heat work its magic then get ready for some serious cleaning action.
Step 2: Soak it
After giving your grill a good heat-up, it’s time to give it a nice soak. Fill a bucket with warm, soapy water and let the grates luxuriate in it for a good 30 minutes. This soak will help loosen up the grease and grime from last season’s cooking adventures. While the grates soak, take the opportunity to clean other parts like the knobs, grease trays, cast iron griddles, and warming racks. Grab a sponge, spray some dish soap, and let the cleaning magic happen.
Step 3: Vacuum and scrub
Now that the grates are enjoying their bath, let’s shift our attention to the firebox. Grab your trusty vacuum and suck up any loose dirt and debris. For those pesky grime spots that won’t budge, grab a soaked sponge and scrub them away with a little elbow grease. Rinse off the sponge and then give the firebox a good rinse as well.
Step 4: Scrub a dub dub
After the soaking session, then, it’s time to tackle the grates. Grab a wire brush and start scrubbing away any remaining grease buildup. If you encounter some tough-to-remove gunk, mix up a paste using vinegar and baking soda. Apply the paste to the grates and continue brushing. This handy trick also works wonders if you’re dealing with a rusty BBQ grill.
Step 5: Wipe it dry
Now that the cleaning work is all wrapped up, it’s time to grab a fresh rag and give those sparkly clean grill grates, firebox, and handles a thorough wipe down. And you know what? This step is key to ensuring everything is dry and primed for some serious grilling action. After all, no one likes a soggy grill, right? So, let’s give it some love and attention. Get that rag ready and let’s make sure your grill is gleaming and ready to rock the BBQ party!
Step 6: Let’s get grilling!
Congratulations, your BBQ grill is now clean. So, you’re ready for a summer of grilling fun! Don’t forget to clean your grill after every use to maintain its sparkle. And when it’s time to store your grill, cover it up with a grill cover and a smoker cover to keep it fresh and protected for your next outdoor BBQ adventure.
