Never touch the grate when the coals are still burning. The loose particles can be removed using the wire brush. After that, you can use the wool pads and scrub it lightly. Rinse the grate thoroughly and dry it before storing.

After cleaning the grate, you should remove the ashes found at the grill’s bottom. Never leave the ashes until next use because this will only prevent enough proper air flow. Take time in removing the ashes after use so that the grill will be ready for the next BBQ session. It's important to take good care of both your barbecue and your grill tools.

Aside from cleaning the grate, don’t forget to clean the lid of the charcoal grill. To ensure that your charcoal grill will last for years, you can also purchase a grill cover. The cover will protect the grill from bird droppings, harsh weather, and other harmful elements. If not, you can take the charcoal grill inside and store it in the garage, shed, or a dry place.

Maintaining your charcoal grill is really easy. Follow these great tips and you will know what to do.
