Clean & Store your Sportsman’s Pro Cast Iron Grill™in four simple steps.

Let the Grill Cool

Let all the grill parts cool before handling! Use tongs to shuffle the dead coals to drop as much ash as possible into the ash drawer before emptying it to make the process less messy.

After each use, slide out the ash drawer to empty the coals into a safe area, such as a fire pit or a nonflammable metal trash bin. Then use a dry brush to sweep away any remaining ash from the cast iron.

Wash

Use hot water and a nylon scrub brush or scrubber to hand wash the grill grate cooking surface.

Dry

Dry promptly with a lint-free cloth or paper towel, and apply a thin layer of oil to the entire cooking surface.

Voilà! You’ve cared for your grill!

You're now ready for the next occasion.

Always store your grill in a dry place, preferably indoors. If kept in a moisture-heavy environment, the Sportsman’s Pro Cast Iron Grill can rust.

Pro-tip

While the grill is still hot, loosely crumple some aluminum foil. Using a pair of tongs, rub the aluminum foil over the grill grate to remove any food residue. Lightly coat a paper towel in cooking oil and rub the grate, using the same method. Your Sportsman’s Pro Cast Iron Grill will be spick-and-span when you’re ready to cook again.
