BBQ winterising service - clean, protect, and store your BBQ properly for winter. Ready to use when spring arrives, not rusty and seized.
### Don't Leave It To Rot All Winter
Summer's over, BBQ season done. Don't just abandon it in the corner of your patio getting rained on for six months. **Proper winterising** takes less than an hour and saves you buying a new BBQ in a few years.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Winterise in autumn while it's still dry. Trying to clean a BBQ in December rain is miserable, and the damage is already done by then.

Good to Know
> 🎨 **No cover?** Get a proper one - they're not expensive and last for years. Cheaper than replacing rusted parts next spring. **Spring startup?** Give it a quick check and clean before first use - spiders love BBQs over winter, webs can block burners. **Storing gas bottles?** Outside in ventilated area, valve closed, cap on. Not in the house, not in sealed sheds.
Frequently Asked Questions about BBQ winterising in Teignmouth
Why bother winterising a BBQ?
Leaving it dirty and exposed all winter ruins it faster. Grease and moisture cause rust, frost damages components, and you'll spend ages getting it ready next spring. Quick winterise now means it's ready to go when the sun comes out.
What's involved in winterising?
Clean off grease and food residue, dry it properly, disconnect and store gas bottle safely, apply protective coating if needed, cover it or move to shelter. Basically prep it so winter weather doesn't wreck it.
Can I leave it outside all winter?
Better under cover if possible - garage, shed, or at least a proper BBQ cover. If it has to stay outside uncovered, expect more rust and maintenance needed next year. Devon winters are wet - not kind to steel.
What about the gas bottle?
Disconnect it and store in ventilated area away from the house. Never store gas bottles indoors or in enclosed spaces. Sheds and garages are fine as long as they're ventilated. Check valve is fully closed.
Do I need to do this every year?
If you want your BBQ to last, yes. Or just give it a basic clean and cover yourself - doesn't have to be perfect. But if you're storing an expensive BBQ, proper winterising adds years to its life.
