No, “Burning It Off” Doesn’t Clean Your Grill. Here’s Why.

You’ve heard it. Maybe even said it. “Just turn the burners up and burn off the mess.”

It’s one of the biggest myths in backyard BBQ culture—and it doesn’t actually work.

Why “Burning It Off” Fails:

• It doesn’t remove grease trapped in the tray

• It misses buildup on burners, flavorizer bars, and lids

• You still have ash and carbon clinging to key parts

• High heat can damage parts if used too long

What Actually Works:

• Full disassembly

• Degreasing and decarbonizing components

• Careful inspection of hoses, valves, and burners

• Safe reassembly and polish

Cleaner BBQ = Safer cooking + better flavour. Ready to ditch the myth?
