Wake Up Your Grill and Get Ready for Spring Barbecues
7 minute read | Grilling

As the grilling season is just around the corner, it's time to bring your outdoor gas grill out of its winter hibernation. Don’t let your friends and family be disappointed when they come over on a beautiful spring day—make sure your grill is ready to fire up burgers, steaks, and all your favorite summer dishes.
Like any piece of equipment that has been stored away during the cold months, propane grills need a thorough check-up before you start cooking. Instead of ignoring the signs that your grill might not be working properly, take some time to prepare it for the season ahead. Here’s how to get your grill in top shape for the upcoming warm weather.
Perform a Full Gas Grill Inspection
Before you jump into cleaning, it's important to make sure your grill is safe and functional. Start with a visual inspection of key components such as the gas lines, connections, and the propane tank. Follow these steps:
- Gas Lines and Connections: Look for cracks, abrasions, or bends. Even if nothing seems wrong, use soapy water to test for leaks. If bubbles appear, replace the damaged parts immediately.
- Propane Cylinder: Check for rust, corrosion, or damage. You can also spray soapy water on the tank to detect leaks. If you're unsure, it's better to replace the tank.
- Ignition System: Test the battery to ensure it's working properly. A weak battery can prevent your grill from lighting, which could be dangerous. Replace it if needed.
Always refer to your user manual when replacing parts. Using the right replacements ensures safety and performance.
Clean Deeply After a Long Winter
After being stored for several months, even the best stainless steel grills can collect dust, spider webs, or bugs. A deep clean will help restore your grill to its best condition.
Start by wiping down the exterior with warm, soapy water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or steel wool, as they can scratch the surface. For stubborn grime, a mixture of vinegar and water works 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. Clean them regularly with a brass and steel wire brush for long-term maintenance.
- Ceramic Briquettes: Remove and soak them in warm, soapy water. Gently scrub with a nylon pad, then dry completely before placing them back.
- Burners: Remove and clean the burners thoroughly. Use a wire brush to clear flame holes and a bottle brush to clean inside. Always consult your manual for the correct tools.

Use the Right Tools and Replacement Parts
During the process, keep a notebook handy to jot down any parts that need replacement. PGS grills are known for their quality, so it's wise to use genuine parts for optimal performance and safety.
Using the correct tools like wire brushes and cleaning pads helps maintain the appearance and function of your grill. Taking the time to do this now will save you from last-minute issues later.
