Clean The Burners

This one's for gas grills only. The grill burners can get gunked up, too, so it's important to keep them clear for proper functioning when lit. For this, make sure you remove your burners from the grill first. Then simply brush the holes with a grill brush, moving from top to bottom. Check the holes carefully to see if any are still clogged. If so, use a toothpick or even a paperclip to open them up. Once you've unblocked all the holes, shake the debris out of the burner into a trash can.
