How to clean outdoor bbq grill?

Question

We have a bbq this weekend and our new house has an outside bbq thats been left and the grill is rusty, whats the best way to clean it..?

Answer 1

First hose it out and scrub with a stiff brush. Then build a fire and scrub the grill with a BBQ (brass) brush. The chances are that the grill has been seasoned, so do not scrub until it is bright and shiny. A layor of carbon helps keep the food from sticking.

Answer 2

Here's a follow-up to the previous answers, which are all very good:

After the grill is clean of rust, I like to take a half of an onion and rub the cut side all over the grill before putting the food on. The acid from the onion cleans the grill without removing the carbon (from a previous answer). It also gives it a nice add-on taste for just about any food you're grilling.

Answer 3

I have had this issue. The best way that I found was this:

Get a power drill and then buy yourself a metal cleaning attachment (it is a circular wire brush that can be found at Lowes/Home Depot and most likey Wal-Mart)

Simply use that on the grill and it will return it to a nice "like-new" condition.

Answer 4

I use steel wool on the grill part. If you are talking about the base or the cover, then sdand it down and buy some hi-temp grill paint or engine paint from an auto parts store. good luck

Answer 5

Grills are cheap and rust is dangerous to the human body. Buy new. Won't cost more than 20 to 30 dollars at most.
