How to Prep a Gas Grill for First Use
Congrats. You finally bought your new gas grill and can’t wait to use it. But now you need to know how to get started. Gas grills are really pretty simple to use. Follow this guide on how to prep a gas grill for the first use and you’ll be grilling in no time.
Directions
1
Read Your Owner’s Manual.
First things first. Before doing anything, carefully read your owner’s manual. No two grills are alike. Follow the assembly instructions and all safety guidelines. If you’re new to grilling, the manual will familiarize you with all of the grill’s features. Don’t do anything the manual doesn’t recommend.
2
Conduct a Leak Test.
Test your gas grill for leaks on a regular basis, especially when it’s been unused for a while. Leak tests ensure the connection to the propane tank or natural gas line is safe and that the hose is in good working order. If you discover a leak, determine the source of the leak and repair it before using your grill.
3
Prep Your Grates.
Seasoning or oiling your grates prevents rust from forming and makes them easier to clean.
