charcoal barbecue grill?
Hi dear friends, someone gave us his used charcoal barbecue grill, I tried to clean it before use but the grill is so dirty that can not be cleaned easily, it is badly covered in soot and I couldn’t remove the dirt and soot off the grill part, I even used copper scourer with detergent but without much success, could you please tell me how I may be able to get the soot and dirt off the grill part completely? And this is the first time that I ‘m using this type of barbecue, I have some more questions: 1-do I need to clean and wash the grill part after each use? 2-what is the function of grill brush? 3-what do I do to the smoldering charcoals when I’m done with barbecuing? Should i stop them from burning somehow or should I leave them burning in the barbecue? In case I should stop them from burning how should I be able to do it? 4- do I need to buy a heat-resistant glove and if so, what would be the function of these gloves? Thank you very much for taking time to answer my questions. Sincerely, Rojin
Try using Easy Off Fume Free Oven cleaner on the grills. I use this on ours, let it sit and then use the grill brush to scrub them and most of the burnt on food and soot comes off. I clean ours everytime we use it because I don’t want it to attract rodents sitting in the grill with grease and food particles clinging to it. I lay out the grills on newspaper and spray both sides. We use the new high temperature mits when we BBQ because you can even grab food like corn on the cobb and turn it right on the flame. We live in a very hot area so when we are done BBQing, we put water on the leftover bricks to cool them quickly. Another hint, use the spray on Pam for grilling prior to putting food on the grill, it really helps to keep it from sticking.
The grill can be easily cleaned by starting a fire in the bbq and let it burn off. It will turn to ash, then use the grill brush to brush and scrape it. Some people put the grill into the dishwasher after it is cooled down, but if you do that, put it in by itself.
Yes, get a pair of leather gloves. They save a lot of burns.
When you are finished bbqing, close all of the air vents, so that the fire will go out. When the ashes are COLD, I put them into the trash.

Use charcoal grill camping and on the beach
Fill a bowl with ammonia and place it inside the barbecue being sure to close all vents. Leave for at least eight hours then scrub with a steel wool soap pad or grill brush. (have plenty of ventilation please, like outside). The grill bush is for scraping or cleaning off the food and grime. If you scrap and wash the grill with soapy water after each use you won’t need to use ammonia. I usually stop the coals from burning by closing the vents. You need air to burn anything. You can reuse any leftover charcoal but you should clean out most of the ash as it will keep the charcoal from burning. Make sure the vents are open when you light the charcoal otherwise it won’t burn, A heat resistant glove is so you don’t burn yourself when you are turning the food. I tend to recommend them, also long handled utensils. Never leave anything burning unattended. Have fun.

Buy a grill scraper/brush…and just let the fire burn off the residue on the wire rack.

Easy off oven cleaner on the grill. Outside of course. We used the brush to clean the grill after we’ve cooked to remove the guck. We used to keep a bucket of water by the grill. When we were done we would pick the coals out-with tongs-and put them in the water. Take them out to dry-however long- and reuse them the next time.
