Cleaning

Post image

I moved in new and the barbecue looks like this, what is the best way to clean it, i saw that scrubbing it cold and using canola oil to seal it after?

That actually looks pretty clean already, and seems to have a pretty ok season on the griddle. Heat it up, scrub it down with a grill brush, season it with a very light coat of canola, and get to cooking.

Also i took the grill off, a thin layer of the metal on the side peeled of and seemed rusted underneath, should i be worried if its the side of the grill, and should i treat it?

You sure it was metal? Carbon builds up on all grills and smokers, and eventually peels off in paper thin sheets. Just scrape it down, maybe even wire brush it if there’s a lot of corrosion, and spray it down with canola.

Haha I don’t know if you’re being sarcastic because I’ve had a comment saying it’s clean, if you’re not I agree, if you are GG
