Gas grills are a great way to cook up an alfresco summer meal, but they also require proper care and attention. While these durable appliances are built to last, they're still made of metal and are therefore susceptible to rust, particularly on the grates. Luckily, there are some preventative measures you can take to avoid it, as well as some valuable tricks to restore grates that have seen better days.

Here, we asked some grilling experts for their best tips on how to stay on top of it.
