How do you properly clean and maintain a pellet barbecue for long-lasting use ?

1. How often should I clean my pellet brazier or plancha ?

Light cleaning should be done after each use: remove ashes, wipe surfaces, and scrape food residues while the plancha is still warm. A deeper cleaning with degreasing products is recommended every 5–10 uses, depending on frequency.

2. Which products are best for cleaning ?

Eco-friendly degreasers like our Décap’Graiss QAÏTO are safe for metal and effective against soot and grease. Avoid harsh chemicals such as caustic soda, which can damage surfaces and pose health risks.

3. How do I protect the brazier from weather damage ?

Always store your brazier under a cover or in a sheltered area. Empty the pellet tank after each use to avoid moisture absorption, and check for rust or wear regularly. These steps keep your brazier efficient and durable for years.
