As temperatures dip, one pricey outdoor investment that should be brought indoors is your backyard grill. Snow and ice can cause significant damage and make your grill unusable in the coming months. The best place to store a grill in the winter months is the garage or basement. Any gas grill should have the tank valve closed and the propane tank removed. And whether you bring your grill indoors or not, be sure to scrub the insides clean. Any residual food waste -- even if it’s charred-on -- can be tempting for wild critters and pests.
