Those that have saved and can put enough down can still purchase with confidence. Give me a call and I’m happy to discuss your situation with you!

Summer Grill Maintenance

In Colorado, summer time means warm weather, fishing, boating, hiking, pools, and of course grilling! Here are some tips to make sure your grill is ready for the summer:

1. Be sure to clean your grill after every use. It’s much easier to clean your grill right after the food comes off, so scrub the plates using a metal brush, wash them, and clean any removable trays for catching char and grease.
2. Wash the burner protectors and wipe the burners. Regular cleaning of the burners and protectors ensures that bacteria doesn’t build up on food particles that fall down into the burners.
3. Check your propane levels. Nothing kills a barbeque like an empty propane tank. Some tanks allow you to use a gauge to measure, but you might also be able to feel when the tank gets cold at the propane level.
4. Coat your grill surface with cooking oil or spray. This can keep food from sticking to the grill and becoming a mess that is much more difficult to clean.
