GRILL VS. CHILL: PREPPING YOUR BBQ FOR WINTER When that first frost comes your way, it may be time to winterize your BBQ. Some homeowners enjoy grilling well into the colder months while others prefer to clean the grill and put it away until spring. Either choice can work, but colder weather makes preparation more important. Before the first heavy frost, give your BBQ a seasonal check so it is clean, protected and ready for whatever you decide to do. Clear food residue and grease, then inspect burners, hoses, connections and igniter for damage. Cleaning helps find small issues early saving time later. Make sure parts are secure and nothing looks cracked, loose or badly worn. For storage, protect your grill from moisture with a weather-resistant cover, following the manufacturer’s instructions. Clean and dry the grill first, as moisture can be trapped. Whether taking a winter break or grilling year-round, proper prep including cleaning, inspection and storing is essential before that cold weather hits.
