Cleaning Steps of Corten BBQ Grills
1. Regular Brushing:
After each use: Brush the grill grates with a wire brush to remove any food particles or residue. This helps prevent buildup and makes future cleaning easier.
2. Deep Cleaning:
Monthly: For a deeper clean, use a stiff-bristled brush and hot soapy water. Scrub the grill grates, side burners, and other surfaces thoroughly.
Avoid harsh chemicals: Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the Corten steel’s protective patina.
3. Rust Removal:
Occasional: If rust stains appear, gently scrub them away with a wire brush. Avoid using excessive force, as this can damage the underlying steel.
4. Patina Maintenance:
Periodically: To enhance the natural patina, consider leaving the grill exposed to the elements for a short period. This can help the rust develop a more uniform and attractive appearance.
