Foil Those BBQ Blues

I know it’s not Saturday, when I give you a tidbit about the environment or non-toxic (and cheap!) ways to clean.  But, as I looked this morning at the BBQ I neglected to clean yesterday, I thought I’d help you avoid the BBQ Blues by passing this on.  It’s easy, good for the environment, and, yes, cheap.

  1. Fill a spray bottle (as full s you want) with straight white vinegar.
  2. Liberally spray the vinegar onto that cruddy grill.
  3. Let the vinegar soak on the grill for five minutes.
  4. Crumple up aluminum foil and use it to scrub the grill.
  5. You may want to wipe off the loose particles, but another heavy spray of vinegar should wash them into the fire box beneath the grill.  Vinegar–a natural product–won’t harm anything.

And you’re ready for your next BBQ get-together…without the after-BBQ  Blues.

Easy.

Eco-Friendly Grilling

Buying a new BBQ to replace the one that gave out during your 4th of July celebration?  Say “no” to charcoal or wood briquettes, which cause a ton of greenhouse gasses.  Switch to an Energy-Star certified gas grill or maybe try one of the new solar grills.
