Bring Your Grill Back to Life for Springtime Cooking
7 minute read | Grilling

As spring approaches and your outdoor grill lies dormant, it's time to prepare for the season of backyard cooking. Don't let your gas grill be caught off guard when guests come over on a warm day. Take the necessary steps now to ensure your grill is ready for burgers, steaks, and grilled veggies.
Like any equipment that’s been stored away during the winter, propane grills need a thorough check before you start using them again. Instead of waiting until the last minute, follow these simple steps to keep your grill in top shape and safe to use.
Perform a Full Gas Grill Inspection
Before cleaning, take a moment to inspect key components of your grill. This is crucial for both safety and performance. Start with the following parts:
- Fuel Lines and Connections: Look for cracks, abrasions, or bends. Even if nothing is visible, test for leaks by applying soapy water. If bubbles appear, replace the damaged parts immediately.
- Propane Tank: After months of storage, your tank may have developed issues. Check for rust, dents, or corrosion. Use soapy water to detect leaks and replace the tank if anything seems off.
- Ignition System: A working ignition system is essential. Test it to make sure it sparks properly. If not, replace the battery before using the grill.
Always refer to your user manual for specific instructions and replacement parts. Using the right components ensures better performance and safety.
Clean Deeply After Winter Hibernation
After being unused for months, your grill can accumulate dust, debris, and even insects. It's important to clean thoroughly to maintain its function and appearance.
Start by wiping down the exterior with warm, soapy water. Avoid harsh chemicals or steel wool, as they can scratch the surface. For stubborn buildup, a mixture of vinegar and water can work wonders. Once the outside is clean, move on to the inside:
- Stainless Steel Grates: Soak them overnight in a mix of baking soda and vinegar to loosen stuck-on food. For regular cleaning, use a brass and steel wire brush.
- Ceramic Briquettes: Remove them and soak in warm, soapy water. Gently scrub with a nylon pad and allow them to dry completely before replacing.
- Burners: Clean burners carefully with a wire brush to clear flame holes. A bottle brush can help reach tight spots. Always follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for removal and reinstallation.

Use the Right Tools and Replacement Parts
When you're working on your grill, having the correct tools and parts makes all the difference. Keep a notebook and your user manual nearby to jot down any parts that need replacing or show signs of wear.
PGS grills are built to last, so it’s best to use genuine replacement parts. This ensures compatibility and safety. Also, invest in quality tools like wire brushes and non-abrasive cleaners to keep your grill looking great for years to come.
