BBQ Cleaning

A clean grill cooks better: food sticks less, flavours stay clean and parts last longer. This is everything for keeping your cooker in shape, from the quick brush after a cook to the deeper clean a few times a year.

There are grill brushes from Napoleon (triple-row, brass and three-sided) and Kamado Joe, the Traeger cleaning brush, grill cleaner spray and EZ-Clean grease and ash keg liners, the GrillGrate brush and detailing tool for between the rails, the Primo grate cleaning bar, Weber's Q cleaner and griddle scraper, and bench and pan scrapers.

Pick the brush to suit your grates: brass is gentler on porcelain and cast iron, stainless is tougher on stuck-on residue. Ask us if you're not sure what suits yours.

How to keep your BBQ clean

  • After every cook: heat the grill for a few minutes, then brush the grates while they're warm.
  • Pellet grills: line the drip tray and grease bucket so clean-up is a liner swap; vacuum the ash from the fire pot regularly.
  • Kamados: run hot to burn off residue and clear the ash. Never use water on the ceramic.
  • Gas BBQs: empty the grease tray and check the burners and flame tamers a few times a year.
  • Griddles and flat-tops: scrape while warm, then wipe on a thin coat of oil.
