Almost all BBQ griddles are
removeable, and to ensure safety, allow the
BBQ grill to cool completely before handling the griddles. It is
worthwhile wearing a cheap pair of gloves that are no longer being worn
to move them prior to cleaning.
The least expensive way to
clean a BBQ griddle is simply with some elbow grease, some newspaper or
aluminium foil that has been scrunched into a ball, and a
few good squirts of oven cleaner.
If the BBQ griddle
has a porcelain-enamel coating, take additional care as it is
very easy to graze or chip the finish and this may result in
a
costly repair.
Some BBQ griddles simply cannot be cleaned
properly due to time constraints, so in this case you are faced with
the choice of having to replace the griddle, or replace the
whole
barbecue.
In some cases, purchasing a new BBQ grill or BBQ smoker
is the best option if your BBQ grill was
particularly
old anyway. These days an excellent quality BBQ grill or
smoker
will not cost a great deal of money and would represent a
good
investment when balanced against replacing a grill on an aging BBQ that
has seen far better days.
