Every grill is a different job.
A pellet grill, a ceramic kamado and a six-burner built-in have almost nothing in common once you open them up. Here's exactly how we service each type—and what we deliberately never do to them.
Traeger & Pellet Grills
Pellet grills cook with smoke, and smoke leaves behind a hard, tar-like glaze that a grill brush cannot touch. A proper pellet-grill service means the barrel, the drip pan, the heat baffle and the auger area all come apart.
How we clean itCeramicBig Green Egg & Kamado
Ceramic cookers are the one grill type where over-cleaning does damage. Kamados are meant to carry an interior patina, and stripping it with chemicals ruins how the cooker holds and radiates heat.
How we clean itPremium built-inWolf, Lynx & DCS Built-Ins
Premium built-ins are a different job from a big-box grill. The stainless is thicker and more visible, the burners and infrared systems are more precise, and the appliance is set into stone or cabinetry that has to be protected while we work.
How we clean itFreestanding gasWeber Gas Grills
Weber grills are built to last far longer than most owners give them credit for. The grills people are ready to throw out are usually two hours of teardown away from cooking like new—clean burner tubes, clear Flavorizer bars and an empty grease tray.
How we clean itBuilt-in gasBlaze & Coyote Built-Ins
Blaze and Coyote built-ins show up in a huge share of newer DFW outdoor kitchens, installed with the house and often never opened up since. Cast stainless burners hold heat beautifully—and hold grease just as well.
How we clean itSmokerOffset & Charcoal Smokers
A serious smoker earns its buildup, but there is a line between seasoning and creosote. Once the cook chamber turns tacky and black, you're tasting old smoke on new brisket—and airflow has usually gone with it.
