I gave myself a lesson in cleaning a grill the other night. My grill, that is being babysat by my brother since I can’t have it at my apartment, hadn’t been cleaned in at least three years. And let me tell you, it was ugly. There were at least two inches of charred crap that had built up in the bottom of the thing and enough grease coating the walls to lubricate a whole army of Tin Men. Luckily, remembering how to clean a grill is like…well…that whole bike thing. It’s simple. It doesn’t take terribly long either. Which is fantastic since I got to my brother’s house about 30 minutes before sunset. That gave me just barely enough time for grill cleaning. You will see by the procession of pictures in this article that I was rapidly running out of light. Needless to say, I was a little rushed and could have done a better job had I gotten there about a half an hour earlier. But my real reason for being there that day was to teach you the best way to clean a grill. The steps for cleaning a grill that are found in this article are laid out clearly and will tell you exactly what you need to know for grill cleaning.
