As you use your grill more or less, it’s vital to keep your grill clean. You can ask Why so hustle?  It’s because your last time leaving residue on the grates will char and burn the next time you use the grill. Those burned leftovers have a terrible effect on our health. They contain amino acids and other chemicals which can cause cancer.

And, now sure you never want to grill before cleaning it. Chill out. Cleaning is not a hard job. But, an old grill can also cause this same effect. So, if your grill is old then you have to buy a new one. Here are our rec tec grill reviews, which can help you to choose an affordable one.


How To Clean REC TEC Grill Properly

Now, follow these steps to clean your grill properly:

Be careful when cleaning the grill. If you are not careful enough, using wrong cleaning agents or equipment can harm not only you but your family too. 

First, fill a large tub with hot water and place the grill racks in the water along with the chimney. Then, remove any foil from the drip pan and flame deflector, scrape off all debris.(if they’re very dirty, add them to the tub.)

  • Discard any solids in the grease bucket and add that to the tub. 
  • Scrub all the parts if needed and dry them properly.
  • Now, use a paint stirring or long-handled wooden spoon to clean the grease shoot. 
  • Scrape the inside of the chimney and same with the lid to dislodge any flakes of smoke or soot.

Using a shop-type vac, vacuum out the interior of the smoker and the firepot. Here, make sure that the firepot's side holes are clear. You can use a damp scrubby or rag sprayed with a natural cleanser to wipe the interior.

  • Wipe the temperature probe located on the left-hand side of the cook chamber. 
  • Wipe down the outside of the smoker with fresh damp scrubby, clean stainless steel parts and finish with any powder coated parts.
  • Lastly, cover the drip pan with heavy-duty aluminium foil and reassemble the grill.

A clean place is a safe place. A clean grill is not only good for health but the food you grill is also better in quality than a dirty grill. Think about your health, your family and friends health and clean your grill after 5-6 uses.
