How to clean a Charcoal Barbecue Grill
- 1). First, heat up your grill. A warm grill is much easier to clean than when the grill is cool. After cooking on a grill, let the grill cool enough that you can touch it without searing your skin.
- 2). Remove both sets of grates. Take a stiff wire brush to remove leftover food and grease from the grates. What you are not able to remove with the stiff wire brush can be removed using a scouring pad and soapy water. Repeat this step until all debris is removed from the grates.
- 3). Dump the ashes from the charcoal grill out into a trash bag or into a fire pit. DO NOT put the ashes from your charcoal grill into a compost pile.
- 4). Wipe down the inside and outside of the grill with a rag and soapy water. Rinse the grill well with clean water. Dry all of the pieces of the charcoal grill and reassemble.
- 5). Your charcoal grill is now ready to grill again!
