Am now covered in black gunk from the bbq from last night!!

Any hints on when/how best to clean BBQ grills?

I never wash mine. After cooking, i leave the flames still burning (it's a gas one) for 10 minutes with the top shut which burns off the excess crud on the grills. It's then very easy to just run a wire brush up the grill to remove the dried black bits when it's cooled down a bit.

We used to have the same problem, until I discovered 'Tesco barbecue cleaner', Just spray it on with the gun,let it soak and do its stuff then wash it off as normal, grease etc washes off really easy. Good luck. T bird+
Ps, its pretty potent so wear some rubber gloves.

When I was over in Australia I noticed people in the parks use crushed up foil to clean the grid. It really does the job

Thank you so much - all 3 ideas sound good so will try them out.

Let you know how I do - many thanks Sal

I always remove ours and bung them in the dishwasher at the highest temperature.
