Everybody loves BBQ (even vegans, though their food choice, maybe a little different). While we all enjoy the eating process, and some of like the cooking portions, we almost universally detest clean-up. The modern portable bbq grill is often designed with special features that aid culinary hygiene. For example, many contemporary BBQ units have ash catchers and grease trays. Their functions are pretty straight-forward, and they’re easy to work with.

Barbecue grills are an investment and obviously, you want to cater to many guests before you replace it with a new one. If you want to enjoy your grill as long as possible, you have to take good care of it to extend its lifespan.

Either way, by incorporating a few simple steps into your routine, you can keep your BBQ spotless all year round.

BBQ hygiene depends on the type of BBQ you have. Wood-burners and charcoal Webers have a similar cleaning routine. …
