Our tips and tricks for protecting your barbecue in winter:
A big clean-up before wintering:
- Disassemble removable parts such as the grills, grease drip tray, and burners (for gas models). Clean them thoroughly with hot soapy water or a natural degreaser made with baking soda and white vinegar.
- For grates, use a wire brush or cleaning stone to remove encrusted residue.
Don't forget the nooks and crannies! Rust likes to settle in neglected areas.
Protect sensitive materials:
- Apply a thin layer of cooking oil to metal surfaces, such as grills and cast iron parts. This acts as a moisture barrier and prevents rust.
- If your barbecue has wooden parts (such as handles), apply a nourishing product to prevent them from cracking due to the cold.
Invest in a quality cover:
- Have you purchased a rotating BBQ? A waterproof cover is essential for barbecues stored outdoors. Make sure it's weatherproof but breathable to prevent condensation, which can promote rust.
Add a dehumidifier bag or a few pieces of charcoal under the cover to absorb excess moisture.

Store it in the right place:
- If possible, store your barbecue in a shed, garage, or dry area. If you don't have a covered area, make sure it's raised and covered.
Take care of the accessories:
-
- Brushes, spatulas, tongs, and other utensils also deserve cleaning. Once dry, store them in an airtight container or bag so they'll be in perfect condition come spring.
