A barbecue left under a cover from September to May is doing two things at once: rendering old fat in the firebox and rusting the burner tubes from the inside out. By the first warm weekend the grates are welded with carbon, the ignition is unreliable, and the flare-ups people blame on the meat are actually a grease tray that has never been emptied. Bookings around Wigan Pier and the Leeds and Liverpool Canal follow the same standard, and neighbouring Ince In Makerfield and Hindley are covered on the same run.
We strip the grill on site, soak the grates, flame tamers and burner tubes in the heated tank, scrape and degrease the firebox and lid, clear each burner port with a purpose-made tool, wash the grease tray, and rebuild. Gas models are leak-checked at the hose and regulator and lit on every burner before hand-back.
