Nothing says weekend vibes like the smell of sizzling food on the grill. But before you light it up, a quick inspection can make the difference between a perfect cookout and a disappointing (or dangerous) one.
1. Check for Grease and Char Buildup
Old grease and burnt residue not only affect flavor but can also cause flare-ups. Scrape and clean your grates—or better yet, schedule a deep clean—to keep your food tasting fresh.
2. Inspect Burners and Igniters
Uneven flames, clogged burners, or faulty igniters can ruin your cooking consistency. Make sure everything is working smoothly before you start cooking.
3. Examine Heat Plates and Grates
Rusty or corroded parts can give your food a metallic taste and damage your grill over time. If they’re worn down, it’s time for a replacement or restoration.
4. Look for Gas Leaks or Loose Connections
If you smell gas before lighting your grill, turn it off immediately and check for leaks. Safety first—every time.
5. Do a Quick Safety Sweep
Keep flammable items away from the grill, and make sure your space is safe for cooking—especially if kids or pets are around.
