The double digit highs and lots of sunshine this weekend could have you itching to tear the cover off the barbecue and slap on some steaks.
However, if your grill has been sitting all winter, you could be in for an unpleasant surprise.
Michael seen with trail appliances tells 660News a quick once-over is always a good idea in the spring. “Take your grates off and make sure no critters or varmints have got up in there and made a nest. Obviously you’re going to want to check all your connections, whether it’s a natural gas or propane barbecue.”
He says the tried and true method is to use some dish soap mixed with a bit of water on the connections. You can also tell there’s a problem if there’s a strong smell of gas.
