Keep It Clean. Steven Raichlen, author of  “The Barbecue Bible” , says that “last year’s food does not a good seasoning make for this year’s food.” We suggest you try the BBQ Brush called the Grill Wizard from www.toolwizard.com

Clean the grill EVERY time you use it.

Clean it After you are done cooking – Not before.  It is easier to clean off food particles when the grill is slightly warm.

After cleaning rub the grill with some oil to keep it fresh for next time.

Bare cast iron grills need to be cleaned more carefully and inspected often as they can rust.

With Charcoal BBQs be sure to clean out all the extra food bits along with your ashes.

On Gas BBQs – just turning on the “Clean” setting is not enough to insure cleaning.

Tips:
Keeping grill surfaces lightly coated with cooking oil or spray will make clean up much easier.
If the gas jets are clogged, consider replacing the burner or carefully clean them with a soft wire brush.
Regular cleaning makes the job much easier.
