Your BBQ properly cleaned and degreased so it's ready for the summer. Grill grates scrubbed, burners cleared, grease traps emptied - the works.
### Ready For Summer in an Hour
That BBQ's been sat under a cover since September, and you know what's under there. **Last year's cremated sausages, solidified grease, and probably a spider hotel**.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** A clean BBQ heats more evenly, uses less gas, and doesn't fill your burgers with last year's burnt offerings. Worth doing properly.

### What Actually Needs Cleaning
**It's not just the grill** - gas BBQs have multiple bits that affect how they cook.
| Part | Why It Matters | |------|----------------| | **Grill grates** | Direct food contact - burnt residue affects flavour | | **Burners** | Blocked holes = uneven heat and hot spots | | **Flame tamers** | Grease buildup causes flare-ups | | **Grease trap** | Full trap = fire hazard and horrible smell | | **Inside lid** | Carbon buildup eventually flakes into your food |

Good to Know
> 🌡️ **Best time:** Early spring before you use it, or autumn after the season. Don't wait until 2 hours before your BBQ party. **Cover it up:** Even a cheap cover massively reduces how often you need a deep clean. BBQs left uncovered in Devon weather are basically rust farms. **Gas smell?** If you smell gas when it's connected but not lit, turn it off and get it checked properly. Could be a loose connection or perished hose - not a cleaning issue. **Rust spots?** Small surface rust on grates is fine - clean it off and oil the grates. Rust on burners or through the firebox? Time for replacement parts or a new BBQ.
Frequently Asked Questions about BBQ cleaning in Newton Abbot
How often should I get my BBQ cleaned?
Depends how much you use it. Most people benefit from a deep clean once a year at the start of the season. Quick clean after each use (when it's still warm) makes the annual deep clean easier.
Can you clean really neglected BBQs?
I can have a go, but there's a limit. If it's been sat outside uncovered for 3 winters with rust and seized burners, you might be better off buying a new one. I'll be honest about whether it's worth cleaning.
Will cleaning improve how it cooks?
Massively. Blocked burners = uneven heat. Built-up grease = flare-ups and off flavours. Clean BBQ heats evenly, uses less gas, and your food actually tastes better.
Do I need to provide cleaning products?
I'll bring BBQ degreaser and wire brushes. If you've got specific products you want used, let me know.
What about the outside of the BBQ?
I'll wipe down the outside and lid, but this is mainly about getting the cooking surfaces and burners properly clean. If you want a full valet including polishing stainless steel, that'll take longer - let me know.
