Q: How do I clean my gas grill?

A good shaver can do a lot, ideally while the roast is still hot. Use one to remove the build-up from the mesh as well as the inside of the cap. Next, switch to the heating elements, using a plastic scraper to remove any debris from the burners or heat deflector and a wire brush to scrape the burners. After shaving is complete, place all debris in the grease trap below for disposal. Finish by wiping the grill with a damp rag or paper towel.

Q: How many BTUs should a gas grill have?

Gas grills should have 80 to 100 BTUs per square inch of cooking surface to evenly cook the meat. For wilted meat, look for a grill with a burner that can produce 15,000 BTUs.

Q: How did you get started with gas grilling?

To start a gas grill, open the valve on one of the burners and push on the electric igniter, which will create a spark that ignites the gas.

Q: Can I convert a propane grill to a natural gas grill?

Some propane ovens can be converted to natural gas ovens with a special kit, usually sold separately. Don’t try to convert a propane grill into a natural gas grill without a kit.

Q: How long will my gas grill last?

A gas grill can last from 5 to 15 years, depending on how well you take care of it.

Q: At what temperature do you grill steak on a gas stove?

The best temperature for cooking steak is between 450 and 500 degrees F, approximately the maximum temperature of most gas ovens. Cooking steaks at these extreme temperatures allows you to create that sought-after brown crust to keep the juices clear.

Q: How do you use the fume hood on the gas stove?

Turn on all burners to preheat the oven and load the fume hood with wood chips. Place the smoking can on the burner that you intend to dispose of; then turn off all other burners. Place meat on unlit burners and adjust the level of the burners to remain lit until the grill reaches an internal temperature of 225 to 250 degrees F.
