BBQ Parts Maintenance and Servicing Tips

December 8th, 2008

BBQ Parts on a TrailerIt’s easy to get the most out of your barbecue grill parts - a few simple steps will not only ensure that your BBQ is easier to clean, gives you a better char or smoky flavor, but also lasts longer.

Storing your BBQ outdoors?

Outdoor BBQ parts need a little extra attention for dust, rust and the elements.

That’s because the #1 cause of wear and tear on outdoor barbeques is simply the weather.

Oiling your BBQ’s metal parts helps to stave-off damage from frost, condensation and other moisture, which can prematurely rust your BBQ after one season.

Running a damp (or slightly oiled) rag over the BBQ to remove dust is also a good way to prevent rust on your grill or smoker.

I recommend using a fish oil on your BBQ parts. They’re the best for keeping away harmful water droplets.

Got a Char Broil Grill?

Char Broil grill parts (including lesser known char-broil models and charbroilers) are generally made of very high quality materials, and are designed to last. But this means BBQ parts for your char-broiler are usually more expensive.

So it’s wise to take particular effort to look after your char broil grill parts so that you’re not faced with replacing these items every few seasons.

Running Porcelain Cooking Grates or a Porcelain Cooking Grill?

Here’s a simple tip that will save you time, and protect your grill for longer! Once you are finished cooking, turn your grill to the maximum heat setting.

Sure it will burn some extra propane gas - but in the process it will also get rid of a lot of a lot of food residue and oils too.

Then, you can simply use a wire brush to remove the left-over residue.

Porcelain Cast Iron Grates are also suitable for this practice. A mixture of vinegar and water will help you to clean more thoroughly. Forget about heavy cleaning solvents - they’ll make your next meal taste funny.

Keeping Stainless Steel BBQ Parts clean…

Contrary to the name, stainless steel can discolor! In fact, it’s quite common to see food sauces discoloring the steel itself.

So to keep your BBQ looking pristine, a little soap-and-water is a handy way to bring your grill up to ship-shape.

Caring for BBQ Smoker Parts:

Simple fact - smokers are designed to smoke. So you’ll never see a smoker looking pristine after the second use.

But cleaning your BBQ smoker can help it to last longer, and preserve the flavors that you get from your smoker.

This will help it to ward off rust, and keep the smoker parts in better condition for longer.

How To Do Ribeye Steaks On The Barbecue Grill

January 29th, 2009

Looking for that perfect steak for your next BBQ? The Grill Masters at all http://www.BarbecueWeb.com have some “tips and tricks” to help you easily serve up the “best steak anywhere” bar none, the Rib Eye steak. Why the Rib Eye? The Rib Eye steak, or ribeye, also known as the Delmonico or Scotch Fillet (Australia), is a beef steak from the small end of the rib roast. When the Rib Eye section of the beef is cut into steaks, it is one of the most popular, tender and juiciest steaks available. This is because the meat from the rib section is tender and fattier or “marbled” more than most other parts of the steer. This extra fat makes Rib Eye steaks and roasts especially tender and flavorful. The Rib Eye steak is usually served bone-in, particularly at high quality steakhouses -the extra moisture and fat alongside the bone enhances the flavor. So get yourself some 1 to 11/2 lb and 11/2″-2″ thick Rib Eye steaks –and then go “fire up” that BBQ grill of yours -it’s time for some real S T E A K On The Barbecue. And be sure to check out more easy and delicious recipes from the Barbecue Web on Google Video, or of course at www.BarbecueWeb.com

What is the best brand for an outdoor BBQ Smoker?

January 14th, 2009

What is the best brand for an outdoor BBQ Smoker you can find for outdoor grilling?

Depends what you are looking for.

Offset smoker or Vertical smoker.

The offset smoker is the most popular type of barbecue smoker used by those that participate in competitions. A quality offset smoker can be a bit expensive to purchase. Although a lower quality offset smoker can save you money, it won’t be able to generate continual heat. This can be quite frustrating considering slow roasting can take anywhere from six to eight hours. With this design, the smoke and heat are both able to easily travel up and around your meat for an even cooking temperature. Bar-B-Chef makes a decent one for about $270.

The vertical smoker is a bit different from the offset smoker, though it works in a similar manner. This type of barbecue smoker contains a heat source at the bottom with a water source right above it. This makes it possible to keep the meat moist while adding great flavor. In addition, the vertical smoker is quit easy to use. "The Great Outdoors" makes a propane fueled one for $189 - home depot.

Can I convert my old propane grill to a charcoal grill or a BBQ smoker?

January 5th, 2009

We bought an amazing new grill and are wondering to do with our old one other than throwing it out. The burner is shot and we can't find a replacement one but the rest of it is structurally sound I just want to know how to turn it into a charcoal grill or a bbq smoker…I had thought about lining the bottom with ceramic tiling, but I don't think that will supply proper air flow…any suggestions?

just take the burner out and put the charcoal in. we have done this too.
