Thank you very much! my late father had this grill in his backyard and due to his sickness left it in a pretty dirty state this last season. I'm pumped to get it cleaned up and to use it to its fullest potential!
I clean mine after every cook before the cover goes back on. I don’t want to clean it before I’m busy enough prepping the meat. I even take that thin aluminum tray out and clean under it. Could be grease down there and def more ash down below it
That’s about exactly how I clean mine, too. I clean it before every cook so I just scrape off the burnt grease while the deflector is still inside, and vacuum that before I remove it.
