You can maintain a gas barbecue and its burners the best with the following tips.

Step 1: safely remove the burner tubes from your gas barbecue
It's important that you first disconnect the pressure regulator and gas bottle from your gas barbecue. This way, you prevent dangerous situations. Now remove the grill rack and all other parts that lay on top of the burners. Afterwards, take the burner tubes from the gas barbecue. Check the manual of your barbecue for how to remove the tubes without damaging the wires.
Step 2: clean the burner tubes
It's easy to clean the burner tubes. Pierce all the holes of the tubes with a paperclip or toothpick to remove blockages. Afterwards, run a steel wire through the tube and remove the last food rests. When all the dirt is removed, you can clean the exterior of the tubes. Take a brush and some soapy water and remove the rest of the grease. Dry the burner tubes with an old towel and they're ready for use.
Step 3: place the burner tubes back correctly
Place the burner tubes back according to the instructions in the manual. Afterwards, place the grill rack back and all other parts back in the reversed order of how you took them out. This way, you can be sure you assemble the gas barbecue correctly. Lastly, connect the pressure regulator and gas bottle. To remove the last of the soap, ignite the grill for 15 minutes with a closed lid.
Step 4: clean the burners regularly
Your gas barbecue is ready for a nice barbecue evening. Make sure you clean it regularly, so you get the most out of your gas barbecue, and it'll last as long as possible. Do this at least at the beginning and end of the barbecue season. This way, you'll barbecue on a clean barbecue during every season.
