It’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.
