How To Clean & Refurbish Your BBQ

If your grill is like mine, it really needs some love. Mine is full of grease that hasn’t been cleaned off inside for a while and the grates are almost beyond cleaning.

This is a BBQ that I’ve had for several years. Nothing fancy, just the right size for the two of us most of the time, so I really like it.

I didn’t grill much this year, so this poor BBQ was really a dirty mess. Tons of caked-on grease everywhere. I turned it on and the grease on the bottom caught fire. That was a scary mess, so time to give this a good cleaning and makeover.

I think those grates were almost past redemption, so I looked online and found some replacement grates on Amazon. These were made for my make and model grill. Perfect. Now to clean this thing up.

I took it all apart to see what I was going to have to deal with. My shiny new grates on the left and the old pieces on the right. I also got out my wire brush and scraper and some CitruSafe BBQ Grill Cleaner.
