What is there to clean?
Learned eveyrthing there is to know about the general superiority of ceramic grills and the only thing keeping you back from following through with a purchase of one is the worry of how much time will be needed to keep it nice and tidy?
In this blog we will explore and elaborate on the Three components that need to be looked after to maintain the fine look of your grill and keep the taste of food at the highest of standards.
Side Shelves:
They can be wooden, plastic and even aluminium the care of which comes down to the material you have. Wood is wood, stylish yet flimsy when it comes to a humid environment, which of course doesn't help being in Ireland, if you possess these types of shelves make sure to take them off and store them in a dry place, in this way its pristine condition will be preserved to the highest level possible.
Plastic and aluminium, all the care that's needed is wiping the dust off before using them.
Glazed microcracks:
NO your product is not faulty, these cracks are intended, they are the result of a chemical reaction these grills undergo during the manufacturing process: while heating the ceramic at an extremely high temperature the glaze melts covering the grill with a glass-like layer.
This glass-like layer is responsible for protecting the grill from the surrounding humidity, rain and cold. During the cooling of this layering process, the glaze cools down instantaneously while the ceramic which it is covering does so painfully slow. As a result of the difference in cooling-down times these “crazings/spider web cracks” are formed.
This part of the grill can be cleaned with a wet cloth and WEAK chemicals used for window cleaning or grease removal, clean whenever the occasion for it arises, typically twice per season should do.
Firebox:
The main function of this part is to protect the body from overheating and to insure stable air flow, this part is directly responsible for the temperature in the grill. It should ALWAYS be present inside the grill as this is where your fuel source, coal, is contained. Each grill model has its own different firebox, a clear difference can be found between the Junior and PRO models due to the clear difference in size.
When cleaning, heat up the grill to 350-450 degrees C for about an hour or until the coal dies out, once it does make sure to clean out the ash though the bottom vent.
