An outdoor grill, for example, needs some special thought during the moving process. How are you going to get it there? Does it have to be cleaned? Will you have to remove the charcoal or <a href=\"https:\/\/stg-httpsblogstoragecom-staging.kinsta.cloud\/blog\/how-to-store-propane-tanks\/\">propane tank<\/a>? These are all questions you&#8217;ll have to ask.<\/p>\n<p>But what about those times when you can&#8217;t move in to your new home right away? If you&#8217;re staying\u00a0with family or renting a hotel room for a short time\u00a0because you had to move out of your old home before your new home was ready, chances are you&#8217;re not going to be able to bring all of your possessions along\u2014that includes your grill.<\/p>\n<p>In this situation, you&#8217;ll probably rent a storage unit at a local self storage facility to temporarily house your grill and other household\u00a0belongings. But before you roll it\u00a0into a unit and call it a day, you need to prepare your grill for self storage. That means removing the fuel, cleaning the grill, and covering it with a grill cover.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Removing Fuel From Your Grill<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-6951 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/stg-httpsblogstoragecom-staging.kinsta.cloud\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/grill-kevin.png\" alt=\"Kevin Kolman\" width=\"246\" height=\"295\" \/>Whether you&#8217;re storing a gas or charcoal grill, it&#8217;s important to remove any type of fuel that could pose a threat to your storage unit and other surrounding units.\u00a0Self storage operators typically make it a requirement for customers to remove the fuel source from the grill before it&#8217;s left in a storage unit to eliminate any chance of a fire hazard.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Whenever you&#8217;re storing for the winter or\u00a0storing your BBQ grill for a longer period of time, it&#8217;s always a good\u00a0idea to make sure you disconnect the\u00a0tank,&#8221; says\u00a0Kevin Kolman, Grill Master with\u00a0<a title=\"Weber\" href=\"https:\/\/www.weber.com\/US\/en\/shopallgrills.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Weber<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>With propane tanks, simply disconnect the fuel from the grill, and you&#8217;re good to go. Be sure to check with storage facilities <a href=\"https:\/\/stg-httpsblogstoragecom-staging.kinsta.cloud\/blog\/how-to-store-propane-tanks\/\">before storing propane tanks,<\/a> though, as most facilities\u00a0<a title=\"MoveIt Self Storage - What Not to Store in Self Storage\" href=\"https:\/\/www.moveitstorage.com\/storage-basics\/what-not-to-store-in-self-storage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">won&#8217;t allow fuel sources<\/a>\u00a0to be stored inside units.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re going to store\u00a0a charcoal grill, allow the coals to cool for at least 24 hours before removing them.\u00a0Once they&#8217;ve cooled, wrap them up in an aluminum container, pour water on them, and throw them away in a metal trash can. Then, wipe out any excess ash from the grill&#8217;s lid and bowl.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Washing Your\u00a0Grill Before Storage<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/stg-httpsblogstoragecom-staging.kinsta.cloud\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/cleaning-your-grill.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-7054\" src=\"https:\/\/stg-httpsblogstoragecom-staging.kinsta.cloud\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/cleaning-your-grill.jpg\" alt=\"Clean Your Grill Before Storing It\" width=\"356\" height=\"237\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stg-httpsblogstoragecom-staging.kinsta.cloud\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/cleaning-your-grill.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/stg-httpsblogstoragecom-staging.kinsta.cloud\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/cleaning-your-grill-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/stg-httpsblogstoragecom-staging.kinsta.cloud\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/cleaning-your-grill-457x305.jpg 457w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 356px) 100vw, 356px\" \/><\/a>&#8220;Storing a clean and dry grill is very important,&#8221;\u00a0says Chasitie Branch, Consumer Relations Manager for\u00a0<a title=\"Char-Broil\" href=\"https:\/\/www.charbroil.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Char-Broil<\/a>. &#8220;Grease and food debris can break down the internal components of your grill, so any\u00a0time you store the grill, you want to thoroughly clean it first. You should never store a grill wet either. Making sure the grill is dry will help prevent rusting while in storage.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Cleaning the grill\u00a0is very important,\u00a0not just for\u00a0storage, but in general,&#8221; Kolman agrees.\u00a0&#8220;When the grill is clean, it operates better and\u00a0looks much better. It&#8217;s a showpiece in your backyard, so let&#8217;s make\u00a0our grills look good.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When cleaning your grill, Kolman says to avoid\u00a0paper towels, especially if the grill is a stainless steel model.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Paper towels have\u00a0a high amount of cardboard, which can scratch the stainless steel,&#8221; he says.\u00a0&#8220;Use\u00a0a microfiber towel or non-lint terry cloth. Also, make sure you clean\u00a0with the grain. Cleaning against it can cause small surface scratches.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6952 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/stg-httpsblogstoragecom-staging.kinsta.cloud\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Chasitie-grill.png\" alt=\"Chasitie-grill\" width=\"516\" height=\"228\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Don&#8217;t Forget to Cover Your Grill<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Scott Shemtov, Director of Marketing and Analytics for\u00a0EmpirePatioCovers.com, which sells grill covers among other patio-related covers,\u00a0says keeping a cover on a grill while it&#8217;s in self storage can be just as beneficial as using a cover when it&#8217;s outside on a patio or deck.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-6953 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/stg-httpsblogstoragecom-staging.kinsta.cloud\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/scott-grill.png\" alt=\"scott-grill\" width=\"452\" height=\"232\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stg-httpsblogstoragecom-staging.kinsta.cloud\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/scott-grill.png 452w, https:\/\/stg-httpsblogstoragecom-staging.kinsta.cloud\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/scott-grill-450x232.png 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 452px) 100vw, 452px\" \/>&#8220;A good grill cover is one that&#8217;s waterproof,&#8221; says Shemtov. &#8220;[When] you&#8217;re leaving it outside, you want to make sure it&#8217;s protected from the rain and snow. Grill covers can help prevent rust and corrosion. Even when your grill is in storage&#8230;it [prevents] dust from getting on the grill.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Shemtov explains that it&#8217;s\u00a0important to keep dust at a minimum on your grill while it&#8217;s in storage because dust causes minor abrasions that can damage your grill.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A grill cover can also protect the grill if anything in the storage unit shifts and falls on [it],&#8221; Shemtov says. &#8220;If it&#8217;s covered, it will be protected from anything that could scratch it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Although you won&#8217;t have to store your grill for too long during a move, following these steps ahead of storage will ensure that your grill stays in good, working condition.
