Common Gas Grill Problems
Is it time to call the repairman — or time for grill replacement?
Warm weather means the start of grilling season. But as you dust off your gas grill for the first spring cookout, you might find that you forgot to clean it out before winter, and the grates are now messy and full of rust, bugs or dirt. Or worse: The grill won’t light, the paint is peeling and you have guests coming over for a barbecue. Does this mean it’s time to run to the store for a new grill or just put in a call to the repairman?
Here are some common part of your grill that you might have problems with.
Gas Grills: Repair or Replace? Common gas grill problems, and whether the solution is a DIY project, a job for a repairman, or time for an upgrade.
DIY
Rusty Grates Dirty and rusty grates are not the best surface for cooking up dinner – for better flavor and a cleaner surface, get out the grill brush and tackle this DIY project on your own.
Peeling Paint This is one problem that could have been prevented by grill maintenance. Grill paint can help keep it looking as good as new. See more here with infographic.
Clean cooking grates is a small fraction of a truly clean grill. When food debris and grease build up excessively underneath the cooking grates your fresh food is being steamed with many months of old carbonized food debris and grease.

Gas Grill Clean Setting
Most gas grills come with a cleaning option on the setting knobs. If you have a clean setting on your gas grill, you can use it to burn off any excess grease. While it’s a great tool to burn off excess grease, it’s not going to get your grill truly clean. For that, you’ll need a little elbow grease. Read more here.
Grills do not last forever and rust is a bitter enemy. Our BBQ Grill cleaning service helps to prevent future corrosion. Most customers do not consider their grills as disposable. Whatever fuel you use creates carbon buildup. The buildup ends up clogging the burners. Removing the grease and grime from the burners ensures an even flame and improves the performance of your grill (and your grilling).
How to Save Energy and Money by Grilling
Grilling is, of course, fun and seasonal—one of the joys of summer. But by doing it properly, you can also decrease your energy consumptions—and save money.
Tips for Maximizing Energy
Whether you’re using gas or charcoal, there are a few things you can do for each type of energy source to maximize its use.
- Get the food ready. To make sure you’re not letting the grill sit and warm up—and thus wasting energy—don’t start the grill until you have the food ready to put on it. Once you do, you’re ready to start the grill.
- Shorten the warm-up time. One of the easiest ways to waste energy when grilling is to let the grill heat up for too long. This is more problematic for charcoal, which takes time to heat up and catch fire. In general though, allowing twenty minutes for the coals to light, until they’re all burning, is an ample amount of time. For gas grills, that warm-up time might be as short as 5 minutes.
