Frequently Asked Questions About Barbecue Pits

1. How long should a customer wait for a customized barbecue pit after they placed an order?

It normally takes about three to four weeks for companies to construct the barbecue pit that you ordered. Of course, this time schedule is tentative and the length of time depends on the kind of pit that you have ordered.

2. Do people need to register their barbecue pits with the Bureau of Motor Vehicles?

This really depends on what state you are in. As you well know, different states have different laws that they enforce. Some states in America require people to register their pits in case of trouble. Check out your local legislation in the Internet or better yet just ask your local licensing agency. They will know what to do and will even help you with all the paper works and the rigorous process.

3. Do people need to have a power outlet next to the barbecue pit just like when you are using an electric barbecue grill? What if we don’t have an outlet outside the house?

Some pits are rotisseries so there really is no need for a power supply. All you need is a generator or a power converter to help you power your pit. Of course, there are models that do need direct power supplies. What you can do is to ask the store where you bought your barbecue pit from for some advice and suggestions.

They will surely know what you need to power your barbecue pit. Just a word from the wise. Do not do anything without consulting the manufacturers or the storeowner. Tinkering with power supplies can be really dangerous.

4. How do you clean a barbecue pit?

Barbecue pits are used to cook food. This is why it is important for people to keep it clean all the time. Although it is not necessary to clean it every time you use it, it is good to have a schedule. If you have the time, clean it at least once a month. Some people clean theirs once in four months. It really depends on how often you use the barbecue pit.

Use a grill degreaser. You can find this in barbecue equipment stores. Remember though that you should only use the degreaser on the inside of the pit. Applying it outside the barbecue pit can remove the paint.

To keep it clean after using it, without any major cleaning, use a pizza over brush that you can buy in stores. Use this to brush off the dirt and chars off the racks.
