How to Maintain Your PGS Legacy Gas Grill

You’ve invested in a high-quality PGS Legacy Series grill and enjoyed many memorable summer grilling sessions. Now it's time to ensure that your grill continues to perform like new. While these grills are built to last, proper maintenance is essential to keep them functioning efficiently for years to come. Neglecting regular upkeep can lead to clogged burners, rust, and other issues that can shorten the life of your grill.

By following a few simple steps, you can preserve the performance and appearance of your PGS grill. Whether you're a seasoned griller or just starting out, keeping your grill clean and well-maintained is key to enjoying every meal you cook on it.

Regular Maintenance Tips for Your Gas Grill

Maintaining your gas grill doesn't have to be complicated. A quick routine check and occasional deep cleaning can go a long way in preserving its condition. Here are some important tips to help you keep your PGS Legacy grill in top shape:

We recommend doing a thorough cleaning once or twice a year, but even more frequent maintenance—like after each use—can help prevent buildup and damage. Grease, marinade splatter, and food debris can accumulate over time, so it’s important to stay on top of it.

Grease Tray Care

Before each use, line your grease tray with heavy-duty aluminum foil. This helps catch drippings and makes cleanup easier. Check the tray regularly and replace the foil every few uses, especially if you’re cooking fatty foods. If your grill has been exposed to rain, make sure to inspect the tray for water accumulation and empty it as needed.

Always let the foil cool before replacing it to avoid burns and ensure safe handling.

Cleaning the Burners

To keep your burners working properly, remove them periodically and give them a good cleaning. Before you start, turn off the gas supply and make sure the feedline is free of gas. Use a stiff wire brush to clean both sides of the burner and the inside. For clogged flame holes, a thin wire or small brush can help clear them out. Cleaning the venturis with a flexible brush will also improve airflow and performance.

Keeping Cooking Grids Clean

After each use, scrub your cooking grids with a brass or stainless steel brush while they're still hot. This helps remove residue and prevents buildup. If there's a lot of gunk, you can take the grids out and soak them in a soapy solution before scrubbing and rinsing thoroughly. Dry them completely before putting them back in the grill.

Maintaining Stainless Steel Grills

PGS Legacy grills feature durable stainless steel construction, which is resistant to corrosion. However, this doesn’t mean they don’t require care. Over time, neglect can lead to rust spots or pitting, especially if harsh cleaners or improper tools are used.

Stainless steel needs regular attention to maintain its shine and longevity. With proper care, your grill will look great for years to come.

To prevent rust, avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals. Instead, use a soft cloth and a mild stainless steel cleaner. Always wipe along the grain, not across it, to avoid scratches. After cleaning, dry the surface with a soft towel to prevent water spots.

Be cautious with bleach and acidic foods, as they can cause damage over time. Rinse your grill thoroughly after any cleaning and avoid leaving salt or vinegar mixtures on the surface for too long.

Daily Maintenance Checklist

Here’s a quick list of daily tasks to help keep your PGS Legacy grill in excellent condition:

  1. Wipe down your grill after each use with a damp cloth and rinse with warm water. This removes excess grease and residue.
  2. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on the stainless steel surfaces. They can scratch the finish and reduce the lifespan of your grill.
  3. Clean along the grain of the stainless steel for a better finish and to avoid scratches.
  4. Dry the grill with a soft cloth to prevent water spots and rust.
  5. Check for propane leaks by applying soapy water to the gas lines. Bubbles indicate a leak, which should be addressed immediately.
  6. Always cover your grill when not in use to protect it from the elements and keep it looking new.

Why Regular Maintenance Matters

Proper care ensures that your grill remains efficient, safe, and visually appealing. It also helps extend its lifespan, saving you money in the long run. By taking a few minutes after each use and performing deeper cleanings a couple of times a year, you can enjoy your grill for many seasons to come.
