To keep your grill in top shape, always store it in a dry, covered place. A grill cover protects it from dust, rust, and moisture. If you’re using propane, disconnect the tank before storing it indoors.
Clean your grill after each use. Remove ash, grease, or leftover food to avoid damage. For pellet grills, empty unused pellets from the hopper. With good care and smart storage, your portable grill will be ready whenever you are.
