    Cleaning a BBQ?

    So I've got a nice gas BBQ - Stainless Steel jobby - I want to know the best way and quickest way to clean it - I don't want to spend hours keeping it in tip top form...?

    Help?

    Try an oven cleaner. Just spray, leave for a while and rinse off.

    leaving it to go black adds to the flavour! if you have people round for dinner, they're gonna think, "my that barbeque hasn't been used, he obviously doesn't know how to grill some beef"

    If you want the shiny bits shiny, stainless cleaner followed by baby oil will do the trick nicely. For the grill, water, persil & elbow grease.

    Dump the ash, stick it in the boot of the motor when I go to the Valeting centre & jetwash it when I do the car. Comes up sparkly clean.

    Aye that's the way....

    Use a steel scourer on the outside with some sort of degreaser (provided it's not a shiny stainless steel finish) and leave the inside as it is.

    Remove lumps of old food residue with a scraper or wire brush and then just turn the burners up high to burn off anything else.

    Are you wanting to clean the inside or the outside?

    As long as the grille is clean, the inside isn't that important, I'd have thought all the burning action keeps it clean.

    The outside hot soapy cloth and a bit of degreaser for painted surfaces.
