You have a gas barbecue at home, you took time to choose it by carefully reading my page dedicated to choosing a gas barbecue, today you'll also need to think about taking care of it. There are 3 types of maintenance to perform throughout the year.

Gas barbecue maintenance after each use

With each use I strongly advise you to do the following things:

• Preheat your barbecue grill each time you light it, this disinfects the grill and cleans it.
• Brush the grill with a barbecue brush to remove all residue, it's best to do this when the grill is warm
• When you have removed all food from the barbecue, turn the burner to high for a few minutes to burn all the grease.
• Cover your gas barbecue as soon as it's no longer hot. This protects it against rust and weather.

Gas barbecue maintenance after 10 uses

• Remove the grill and clean it on both sides
• Clean your barbecue burners with the brush
• Brush the inside of the barbecue to remove grease marks
• Clean the drip tray or replace it
• Reassemble the entire barbecue and light it for 10 minutes or until there is no more smoke

Gas barbecue maintenance once a year

This is the maintenance to do before storing your barbecue for winter:

• Remove the grill and let it soak in hot water and dish soap
• Remove the burner base and soak them as well
• Brush the inside of your barbecue thoroughly
• Put the burners back in place then light the barbecue, in order to check if the burners are properly in place.
• Clean the drip tray
• Clean the outside of your barbecue as you would with your car
• Dry all parts and put them back in place
• Disconnect the gas and store your barbecue indoors

Of course if some parts are broken you will need to replace them.
