How to Modify a Gas Grill for More Heat

Gas grills have become a popular choice for preparing food at backyard barbecues. Making sure that your grill is hot enough will ensure that the food reaches a safe temperature to serve to your guests. By following a few simple steps, you can modify a gas grill to burn at a hotter rate.

• 1

  Clean the warming racks and grill grate using warm soapy water and a fine steel wool pad. Rinse thoroughly.

• 2

  Place a single layer of grill bricks around the gas tube of the grill. The bricks conduct heat from the gas, allowing food to cook faster.

• 3

  Remove the food from the grill once the desired doneness has been achieved.

• 4

  Take the brass wire brush, while the grill is still warm and remove any remaining food particles or drippings from the grill grate. This will allow the gas to evenly disperse throughout the grill next time you begin to grill.
