The Grill
Existence will be much easier if the dirt is loosened before scrubbing. A fast way to do this would be to wash at the end of a cookout when the bbq is still hot, and the muck hasn’t had time to cake on yet. If you are still entertaining and don’t fancy this, or simply overlook, there are still options available. For lidded bbqs, a neat way of softening up grime is actually to place a water-soaked newspaper or equivalent inside and use a gentle heat again for 30 minutes approximately. This will essentially steam clean the whole inside, and you’ll chuckle as you lightly wipe away the grime afterwards. Obviously this is simple for gas versions, however for those who have charcoal try using a few small bits of fire wood or even other easily flammable material to obtain some warmth going, or just a few coals if you must. Keep close track of the newspaper though and ensure it does not burn or you will have more mess on your hands! Regardless of whether you steam or not, chemical cleansers will also be a great choice. Take away the grill and place on some newspaper, and spray liberally with stove solution or other spray on cleansers (like you would use in your kitchen) and leave for an hr or so.
