Method
1. After cooking, clean away all excess food by scrapping off the residue with a BBQ scraper and leave the burners on for 5 minutes until excess grease burnt off.
2. Turn off the gas bottle first before turning off the barbecue knobs as this allows any excess gas to be burnt away. Allow BBQ to cool down.
3. Remove the BBQ plates and grills and clean the surface with hot soapy water. Use a scourer, grill brush or grill stone to scrub any excess food and marinades. Rinse with hot water and dry completely.
4. For cast iron hotplates and grills, spray a light coating of canola oil to leave on until your next barbecue. This will prevent rusting
5. Ensure the BBQ is cool to touch before placing the cover on. This helps to protect the barbecue from exposure to the elements. Finally store your barbecue in shaded a dry area.
