Cooking Games and the Grill


In some areas, you can use your grill all year long. But in other areas, the grill is really only useful in the warmer months of the year. It’s unlikely that the grill will be pulled out in the middle of a snowstorm, so you’ll need to prepare your grill for the long winter.

As the weather cools down, cook one last delicious meal on your grill and then start taking steps to clean and protect the grill over the month. Turn the grill on as high as it will go and let it heat up fully to burn off all of the old food. Let it cool completely before using a scraping brush to remove any of the remaining items. Empty all of the ashes and food from the bottom of the grill if possible.

Before pulling on the cover, screw the top of the gas canister completely closed and store the canister in an area where there won’t be a risk of frost or freezing – the garage or basement, for example. Completely cover the grill and move it into storage if you’re able before settling into the winter.
