Now that spring is here, it's time to dust off your gas or charcoal grill in preparation for the warmer months ahead. When your grill has been sitting dormant for a while though, it's important to give it a little TLC before you fire it up.
Even the best grills need a little maintenance to keep them running smoothly. Knowing how to clean your grill is one thing, but it pays off to make a bit of extra effort when it's not been used in a while. If, like many people, you store your grill in a garden shed when it's not in use, there are likely a few cobwebs that need to be cleared away in advance of your first cookout. The most important jobs lie inside the grill itself though, where inevitable buildup of bacteria and moisture could impact both your grill's performance and the safety of your BBQ the first time you use it this year.
