Grilling On A Dirty Grill

Before you even begin to think about lighting up the grill, you need to get it into tip-top condition.  Congealed fat, ash and dust quickly build up on a dirty grill, and none of them sound very good to eat, do they?

Some things that are great for grills are brushes, newspapers and even half a raw onion.
