How to Clean a Gas Grill

5 from 2 votes

When it comes to cleaning a gas grill, there are steps you need to take after every cook and steps that can be done once or twice a year.

After Every Cook: After you remove your food, heat your grill to high for 5-15 minutes. Use a wire grill brush to scrape off any build up from the grates. For stuck on food, spritz the grates with water from a spray bottle. Use paper towels and warm soapy water to wipe down the exterior and shelves.
After Every 3-5 Cooks: Check the grease collector and tray. Replace the drip pan or reline the tray with foil, as needed.
1-2 Times Per Year: Thoroughly clean the grates with a grill stone. Remove the grates. Scrape built up debris from the bars that cover the burners and the walls of the grill. Use a wire brush to gently clean the burner tubes. Using paper towels, wipe any residue inside the box through the grease trap and dispose of it.

Use a grill cover between cooks to help keep your grill clean longer.
