How to Hide a Portable Grill
Small portable grills are ideal if you live in an apartment or can use a grill that you can easily pack up and take along with you. Portable grills are lightweight, small and are easily carried around from one spot to another. Unfortunately, a portable grill is not the most decorative accent for your home. However, there is a way to hide it.
What You'll Need:
- Cleaning products
- Old towel
- Ottoman
- Thoroughly clean both the inside and outside of the portable grill after you use it. This will ensure that any soot and ash from grilling doesn't stain anything on the inside of your home. You can use a grill-scraping brush along with a basic cleaner or soap to assist you with scraping off any of the black crust from the grill gate. You’ll want to ensure that any grease or oil has been cleaned up with rags.
- Put an old towel on the floor where you plan to store the grill. The towel will help to keep any stains off the flooring. Whether your floor is wood, tile or carpet, it will keep the feet of the grill from scratching and damaging your floor.
- Visit a furniture store and purchase a low cost ottoman cube that has a top that comes off. Alternatively, you purchase a decorative crate from a home goods store. Remove the lid from off the ottoman or crate and flip or turn it over so that the bottom is on the top. Place this over the grill so that it is concealed.
- Put any accessories on top of the crate, such as small plants, books or picture frames, to give it the appearance of a nesting table.
