Every grill needs a good annual cleaning after winter storage.
Use a wire grill brush to loosen stuck-on food particles, then spray the grate with oven cleaner and rinse thoroughly, or wash with hot soapy water. When you're ready to grill, rub the grid with vegetable oil or spray with non-stick cooking spray to prevent food from sticking. Stock up on charcoal - Don't be caught without charcoal when the grilling mood strikes. Good quality charcoal is quick to light, long to burn. Kingsford, the nation's leading charcoal briquet manufacturer, produces a wide selection of products for every barbecue need.
