How do I winterize a propane grill?
Quick answer
To winterize a propane grill, deep-clean grates and grease paths, shut off and disconnect the tank, store the cylinder outdoors upright, cover the grill, and optionally move the cart under a ventilated patio cover. Never store the tank in a garage or basement.
