My buddy says that it’s not really necessary to clean the grate with soap & water before each cookout because if you let it sit in the fire, the fire will burn off all the junk from the previous cookout. Is he right? I clean the grate with each new cookout.

After you get the coals going and the grill heats up, the grill will heat up, while it is hot scrape off the left over food off the grill with a wire brush that has a scraper on the tip. The heat wil help burn off any residules off the grill. After doing that and before you put any food on the grill you may want to lightly greese the grill so that the food wont stick. I see it not necessary to wash the grill with soap and water. When I did that I had black sticky greese all over my wash rags and hands.
Never clean it unless you start tasting in the food.
I just brush it with a wire brush. Each time
just burn the grill with hight heat first…you will burn all the old grease and gunk…then scrape it with a grill brush…
you want to let the fire burn it off, then brush it with a wire brush
i think its better to let it burn off.
my step dad bbqs frequently
and he told me how he doesnt wash it but lets it burn off.
occasioanlly not every time of use and you are right the heat burns some of the stuff off
Never clean it. You don’t have to. Just let the grill preheat until you can scrape off the stuff from a previous meal with one of those metal wire brush things.
it’s not neccesary to clean it each time. just look at your grill, and you be the judge on whether it’s time for a cleaning or not. this is a great way to go (no pun intended, lol)……..
After you’ve finished cooking and the coals have died out, brush the grill grate with a stiff wire brush. Next time you’re ready to cook, fire up the grill, brush the grate again and then coat it with a thin film of oil. This regimen should keep the grate perpetually clean and ready to go.
When the ashes are cold, remove them from the collector pan beneath the grill. Allowing ashes to collect in the bottom of the grill for days or weeks will impede air flow and can collect moisture, causing your grill to rust.
You only have to clean it when stuff doesn’t burn off, when theres enough there that you think it might have an effect on the food you are cooking, clean it.
The heat will burn off what you don’t want on there, not cleaning it flavors the food more. However, I do tear my grill down completely once a month to clean it well, just to maintain it better though!
You should always clean the grill between uses, as using a dirty grill is a major fire hazard.
