Cleaning Your Barbecue Grill
Yep, the fun time’s over! Now that summer’s coming to an end, it’s almost time to bid adieu to your backyard buddy until the next barbecue season. But it wouldn’t be fair to your grill-friend if you didn’t it a proper farewell before sending it away for a whole year.

Grease/sauces can stick to these deposits, creating home for bacteria, and causing the grill to heat unevenly.
