There is nothing like having a juicy grilled steak, without having to worry about dirty pots and pans left behind to be cleaned. Grills are one of the best things to have around the house. They associate regular cooking to a relaxed laid back time.
Unfortunately, a grill tends to wear out with time, which consequently makes it quite dangerous to use. The question, however, is how exactly would you know if your grill has worn out or if it’s time you got yourself a new one? Here are a few signs that can tell.
Rust
Having an outdoor grill means it will be exposed to rain, dust, and debris. Even though you can clean it every now and then, there is a good chance that your grill will start catching rust. Of course, it will not be overtaken with rustiness in a day, but finding hints of it is no less than a sign that you need to start looking for a new outdoor grill. It will soon be time to let this one go for good.
Yellow Flames
Yes! The color of the flames is enough to tell if the grill has passed its prime. Normally, you can clean the burner and get rid of this issue, but in case the problem persists, get rid of the grill. You can also tell by the evenness of the fire. If it burns uneven, start looking for new grills.
Grease
Grilling is a product of fire and grease. People often leave the grease be after they are done with the cooking. It keeps building up with each round of grilling that you do. If you let it go unnoticed, this grease will continue to build until it becomes impossible to clean it. This is a clear sign that you should start looking for a new grill, not just because this one will not be good for cooking, but also because it is now a matter of safety more than it is a matter of good or bad food.
Cracks
The last thing you would want with a grill is for it to be unsafe. This happens because outdoor grills are exposed to debris which adversely affects the condition of your grill. Over time, your grill will start deteriorating, and become prone to cracks which were never there before. Once these cracks take over the firebox, your grill will begin posing greater problems. This is when you know your grill needs to be replaced asap!
Clogging
It is always important to clean the grill after usage. The reason is simple: if you don’t, it tends to clog the sides and bottom of the grill. With no air to breath, the grill will not vent and consequently become inoperable. So if you find the vents of your grill blocked, how about getting hands on a new one?
Pretty much everything wears off with time. If you find any of the above-mentioned factors affecting your grill, it is best that you leave it be, and replace that grill with a new one!
