How to reopen your outdoor kitchen

After a long, cold winter, there is no better way to welcome spring than preparing your outdoor space for its arrival.

Outdoor kitchens require regular maintenance to recover from whatever Mother Nature may have thrown their way, but catching minor problems before they turn into major headaches will help save you money in the long run.

Let the affiliated contractors of Plumbers 911 show you how to safely and properly reopen your outdoor kitchen for the brighter days ahead.

Thorough inspection

Begin by conducting a thorough inspection of all the nooks and crannies of your outdoor kitchen setup.

Check for any signs of wear and tear, such as rust, corrosion or damage to appliances and surfaces.

Deep clean

Remove debris, spider webs and any other unwanted guests that may have taken up residence in your outdoor kitchen during the colder months.

Scrub your grill, countertops and other cooking and dining surfaces using the most effective cleaners and brushes, and clean or replace filters in any ventilation system to maintain air quality while cooking. 

Maintenance checks

Ensure all appliances are in proper working condition, including the grill, refrigerator and sink.

Test the ignition system and inspect the gas lines for any potential leaks or worn-out parts that may need to be replaced so you can avoid last-minute surprises when you are ready to fire up the grill.

Prioritize safety

Ensure a worry-free cooking experience by positioning flammable materials away from heat sources, such as grills and smokers.

Always keep a fire extinguisher nearby in case of emergency.
