Properly storing and transporting your portable barbecue is essential for a hassle-free camping experience. Careful storage not only extends the lifespan of your barbecue equipment, but also ensures your safety. Here’s how to optimally prepare your camping barbecue so that it’s in top shape for your next adventure.

Cleaning Before Storage
Before packing away and storing your BBQ, a thorough clean is necessary to prevent rust and dirt build-up. Clean the BBQ grid, fat pan, and other parts of the barbecue. Start by removing any burnt-on bits and grease. Then, clean with warm water and soap. For detailed cleaning tips, you can read our blog post, Tips for Cleaning Your Barbecue.

Use our cleaning spray and Soft Soak products for a deep clean of your barbecue accessories. The Barbecue Cleaner is ideal for effectively removing grease and dirt from enamel and chrome parts of the BBQ. Also, use our GreenGrill brush for the grids to safely eliminate stubborn residue. Ensure all parts are thoroughly dried.

Disassembling and Storing
Carefully disassemble the barbecue before storing it. All our portable barbecues come with a handy storage bag, with different compartments for the BBQ components. To prevent damage, store all parts of the BBQ in the protective carry bag. Store the packed away barbecue in a dry, protected place.

Using a Protective Cover
A protective cover is essential to shield your barbecue during regular use from weather and dust. Choose a sturdy, well-fitting cover that is specifically designed for your barbecue model. This will protect your CADAC | Dometic barbecue from rain, UV rays, and dirt, keeping everything in pristine condition. Note: the cover is water-resistant, but not 100% waterproof.

Choosing a Suitable Storage Location
Choose a dry and well-ventilated storage location for your barbecue. Avoid extreme temperatures and high humidity, as these can damage the materials of the barbecue. A sheltered spot, ideally under a dry shed, garage or loft is optimal for long-term storage.

Safe Transport
When transporting your barbecue, it’s important to store it securely. Fasten loose parts properly and use suitable packaging materials to prevent shocks and damage. Ensure the barbecue is stable and safely placed in your vehicle to prevent it from shifting or falling over while driving.
