I just burn them off, then scrub them with a grill brush right before putting down the new meat. The carbon from doing it this way keeps food from sticking.
It is called "seasoning" the grill by the old timers.

Light BBQ fire, put grill over fire & let heat for about 5 minutes. Using a grill cleaning wire brush clean old food deposits off grill. If you want to really clean even more spray with oven cleaner, let soak & scrub with SOS pads & hot water. Not really necessary since the flames burn everything to ash.
Happy Grilling!!!!

The easiest way is to get a metal grill brush and use it while the grill is piping hot full of coal. The only way to get it sparkling 100% clean though would be to use oven cleaner like someone else suggested, but is it really necessary to get something 100% sparkling if you're just going to toss it back on an open fire? Try the brush first.

Wrap the rack in heavy-duty aluminum foil with the dull side of the foil facing out. Heat the barbecue to high heat and place the rack over the coals or flame for approximately 10-12 minutes. When you remove the foil after it has cooled, all the burned-on grease and food drippings will fall off and your rack will be spotless and ready to grill on again.

Cover the grates with paper towel and place in a large plastic trash bag. Soak the paper towels with ammonia and seal the trash bag. Let sit over night and rinse with water hose. Do this outside!!
The ammonia cuts the grease without damaging the grates and this requires NO scrubbing lol. If the grates are really bad you may have to do this 2 times.

Use a spray on oven cleaner. Remove with a stiff brush or a grooved grill cleaner. Rise well with clear water after it is clean. After-wards, dry and spray with a product like PAM to prevent future sticking.

Hook on fence or lay in grass on rainy day for a few hours and wipe with paper towel. Like brand new. Scrape inbetween as soon as you turn off grill.

Either use wadded up aluminum foil or get a special brush, they sell those everywhere where you buy grills and coal.

I use a wadded up piece of aluminum foil while the grates are still hot. Then, after they cool, I spray with non-stick cooking spray.
