We replaced our aging gas grill a couple of years ago with the stainless steel one pictured on the right. I know if we take proper care of it, it should last a few years. With that said, here are a few basic grill maintenance tips that will prolong the life of a gas grill:
- Cover the grill from the elements with a grill cover when it is not in use. These can be purchased inexpensively at any home and garden center.
- Clean the grill racks after each use by scrubbing them with a wire grill brush while the grill is still hot.
- Take the racks and burner covers out weekly and soak them in a solution of dish detergent and hot water. After soaking, scrub them with a scouring pad and rinse them thoroughly.
- Clean the outside of the grill with the same detergent solution; rinse and dry thoroughly.
- Empty the drip pan weekly.
- For stainless steel grills, after cleaning, apply a small amount of olive oil to the outside using a paper towel. This removes any streaks and will make it shine.
- Check the propane tank level and have it filled as necessary.
- Keep a second propane tank filled as a back-up. There's nothing worse than running out of fuel in the middle of grilling.

That is something I am hoping to purchase this summer. I miss having a grill. Thanks for the tips!
