Why does my propane grill smoke so much?

Answer

The problem is that the grill produces a lot of smoke. In most cases, this is caused by a significant accumulation of grease on your grill. Prepare the grill by cleaning it well and preheating it for 15 minutes to burn off any leftover residue.

 

So, what is the best way to keep my grill from smoking?

Grilling food should be done at least six inches away from the heat source. Constructing a barrier will prevent fluids from dropping onto the heat source and causing toxic smoke. Try coating the grill with aluminium foil and putting holes in it, or grilling on cedar planks if you’re feeling adventurous.

 

In addition to the aforementioned question, how can I clean my oven so that it does not smoke?

To reduce the amount of smoke produced by burning food during self-clean cycles, turn off the oven and allow it to cool completely before wiping away any wet food residue from the oven interior with a damp rag and starting the self-clean cycle again—this time for the shortest possible duration to avoid excessive heat buildup in the oven.

What is causing the grill to smoke?

Before you flip the grilling plate, check to see that the side you are not going to use is clean and dry on the other side.
