How To Save Your BBQ From Winter Weather Wear And Tear
Winter brings unforgiving harsh weather, as well as damage and destruction to our beloved gardens each year. Our premium barbecues are designed to impress and built to last, but even the most robust outdoor appliances need some TLC to keep them in their prime during the colder months. Whilst our barbecues are built to be used all year round, we know that even the biggest barbecue lovers are guilty of limited use during winter. We’ve compiled together our expert advice to bear in mind, so you can best protect the heart of your garden from winter weather this season.
Clean Your Whistler Grill
Let’s start with the basics of premium barbecue maintenance, cleaning. Of course, we don’t need to remind you to clean your Whistler Grill after every use, but it’s even more important to give it a thorough clean with warm soapy water before packing it away for the colder months. Leaving remnants of grease or food is what mould thrives on, so making sure you clean inside and out properly to eradicate traces of food before packing your barbecue away, is essential.
We recommend you start with using our Polish Cleaner and Power Cleaner. The Polish Cleaner is formulated to remove surface corrosion and oxidisation to store brilliant high gloss, premium shine and lustre. The Power Cleaner dissolves fats, proteins and starches quickly and effectively. Alternatively we suggest you could use a microfiber cloth and non-abrasive, all purpose power cream cleaner to gently clean the outside of your barbecue. Make sure you run with the grain of the steel to avoid creating scratches. Top tip: avoid using cream cleaner on the dials as this can remove lettering! Once you’ve cleaned your barbecue with a non-abrasive cleaner, you should use a new, clean, wet microfiber cloth to wash off the remaining cleaner to prep for the next step.
Give Your BBQ A Coat Of Protection
Now that you’ve cleaned your Whistler Grill, we recommend giving the stainless steel an extra coat of protection from winter elements by gently rubbing our 3in1 Cleaner with a soft microfibre cloth, to give your barbecue the prestige premium treatment it deserves. Adding a coating of this will give that extra layer of protection during the winter months.

However, we still recommend airing your BBQ from time to time by removing the cover for a short period of time during the winter months to avoid the collection of moisture. High quality covers are included when purchasing from the Burford or Bibury range, you can get your hands on these premium covers in our Whistler accessory range!
