Clean Your Crown Verity Mobile Grill After Use
A commercial-grade grill cleans like a commercial grill — degrease when hot-but-not-burning, pressure-wash the exterior, protect the burner tubes from upward spray.

What you need
- Crown Verity BBQ Cleaner (or equivalent degreaser)
- Soap and water
- Soft brush
- Pressure washer (optional but recommended)
Step by step
Shut everything down
Turn all knobs to OFF. Close the tank valves. Disconnect and remove the tanks. Hang the hoses on the hangers under the rear legs.
Empty the water pans carefully
Lift the water pans — they're still hot. Dump the water in a drain area (not on lawn).
Wash the water pans and interior with soap and water
Soap-and-water first to lift surface residue. Rinse.
Degrease when the grill is cool and dry
Apply Crown Verity BBQ Cleaner (or an equivalent degreaser) to the interior surfaces. Let it dwell per the product's label (usually 5-15 min).
Remove the hoods and rinse
Lift the pins on the back lip of the grates and remove the hoods. Rinse the interior and hoods — pressure washer at low pressure is fastest.
Reassemble and store
Dry all surfaces. Reinstall grates, hoods, and accessories. Return the grill to its covered storage spot.
Common mistakes
- Pressure-washing the burners upward. Water in the burner tube causes rust and clogs the orifice. Always top-down.
- Leaving water in the drip pans overnight. Mineral deposits etch the stainless. Always empty the pans before storing.
Hands-on tips
- Dish soap in the drip-pan water during cooking helps prevent grease from sticking to the stainless.
- Drain and rinse the grease tray weekly in summer — grease hardens fast in heat.
Questions people ask
How often should I degrease the interior?
After every heavy-use session. For light residential use, a monthly degrease is enough.
Can I use oven cleaner instead of BBQ cleaner?
Yes, if the label is rated for stainless steel. Rinse thoroughly — oven cleaner residue will etch stainless if left on.
