I'm very new to the grill-world and have a very serious question -

How do you keep your grill CLEAN - and - how clean do you keep it? How close to NEW can I, or should I expect to get it.


TALK TO ME S-B ....

I spray my wirebrush with olive oil and brush off what I can, prior to cooking again, I hit the grates again with oil preheat on high 5 - 10 minutes and hope I burned my pal Sal Manila away.

I think a lot of it depends on the grill and how you cook.

An all stainless grill like mine can be cleaned pretty easily. Every few months in the summer I scrub the outside with Barkeeper's Friend and always clean the grates with a hot grill before I cook. Once a summer I'll pull the innards apart and remove any excess bits that haven't burnt off.

Generally I try not to let too much drip down that isn't grease. If cooking with a lot of sauce for instance, I'll try to use a foil tray.

Try to always keep it covered when not in use.

Cheaper grills are pretty disposable. I don't think I've had one last more than 3-4 years. Even Weber's that have painted surfaces and non-stainless parts will fall apart after a while.

This is my first nice grill and so far I love it. My wife spotted it at Homegoods for 1/2 of retail...it's made by Lynx. Not cheap but the last grill I bought was a Coleman for 5 bills that lasted 4 years before I donated it to a S-B'er for 20 bucks. I'm hoping this one has 20 years in her.

bacteria can be dealt with using heat,soap and scouring pads
or soft wire brushes...and a roll of the blue auto shop
paper towels work nicely...

but all food has bacteria in it .... even milk though pasteurized has what the gubbermint thinks is a safe level of bacteria remaining afterwards.

the point being, that you also need to increase your body's resistance to bacteria that you encounter.

our bodies are literally crawling with micro- bugs living on us
like seaguls and rats at the dump.

make sure to eat some yogurt that has the good bacteria in it
for example....lacto bacillus, and the e-coli remedy recently found in a yogurt protien proves out that theory.

oregano has great curative/preventative properties

Oregano (Origanum compactum) is one of the most powerful essential oils. Highly damaging to many kinds of viruses, oregano was recently shown in laboratory research conducted at Weber State University to have a 99% kill rate against in vitro colonies of Streptococcus pneumoniae, even when used in one percent concentration. (S. pneumoniae is the microorganism responsible for many kinds of lung and throat infections).
