Everyone Loves a Great Cookout!

And what better way to have it than with a phenomenal gas grill! But sometimes people stray away from gas grills because they don't know the proper care and maintenance for a gas grill. With these few tips, you can keep grilling all fall and winter long!

1. Keep that grill CLEAN. A clean grill is a happy grill and will produce the best tasting foods. A dirty grill tends to flare up and smoke incessantly. In order to keep your grill nice and squeaky clean, turn your grill up to a high temperature before or after your cookout session. Most the grease will burn off. However, be sure to clean out your grill completely at least twice a year. That means taking out all the grates and burners. Don't feel like doing that all yourself?

2. Sugar Burns at a LOW Temperature so if you have a sauce or rub that contains sugar, keep your grilling temperature below 265 F. If your temperature ventures above this point, your food will blacken and burn. No one wants that.

3. Watch Your Grill. We know it is tempting to walk away from your grill to step inside for just a second to check the football score, hang out with family or friends, or even to grab something else to put on the grill. Don't do it. Make sure you have everything you need before you begin grilling. The most common reason for burnt food is stepping away from the grill for only a second.

4. Always Have Fuel In your Tank. Be sure not to run out of fuel while grilling for a household of hungry people. Generally, leaving to fill up a tank takes a while. Always keep an extra tank on hand. Gone are the worries of yesterday where you had to wonder if you had enough fuel to keep the fire going.

5. Use the correct temperature. Don't blast your grill on full high heat if the meat doesn't require it. Beef, such as burgers, should be cooked hot and fast, whereas chicken or fish will be at a medium temperature. Be patient with your meat's cooking times and you'll have perfection every time.
