Why to Clean your BBQ
Health Canada states that grill owners should “make sure the barbecue and burners are clean and the briquettes do not have a lot of grease buildup.” Properly inspecting the grill before use will help avoid health and safety issues such as grease fires and flare-ups.
Conducting a deep clean of the grill is also important to avoid dangerous toxins from animal droppings and insects from getting into the food placed on the grill. Lastly, a properly maintained barbecue can last several years longer than a neglected barbecue due to reduced rusting, erosion and weathering.
