Additional Guides

If you have a charcoal grill, and are an avid user of it, then you already know how
important it is to clean out the ash that gathers at the bottom after every use.
Make sure coals are completely extinguished and the grates are cooled down before cleaning inside of the
unit. Dispose of any cold ashes by removing the ash pan (if equipped) or by vacuuming the bottom of the
firebox. Wipe the interior with a damp cloth or paper towel. Prior to storing the grill, lightly coat the interior
with vegetable oil, to prevent oxidation and rust. To remove the stains on the lid and front panel (caused by
fumigation while grilling) use of a cleaning pad is recommended. Soak the grates with warm soapy water,
remove residue with synthetic grill brush, rinse and pat dry. Use caution when scraping the grates as the
coating may be fragile. Grates may be lightly coated with vegetable oil, as well.
SOME EXTRA TIPS FOR GRILL OWNERS:
Grill covers are always great for protecting your grill from the environment or harsh elements. Replace your
grill brush at least once a year. Use brush only when your barbecue is cool. Your grill manual should always be
able to tell you how to properly clean the entire outside of the grill, and is a good tool to use to follow. Here is
an excerpt from the Care and Maintenance section of a BBQ Manual:
