How to Clean a Barbecue

If ashes remain from last season, get rid of them. Wash the lid and firebox

with detergent and warm water, using a steel-wool soap pad for stuck-on

stains. Rinse and dry.

Before your first cookout, light a fire and heat the grate for about 30

minutes. Then scrape it with a long brass-wire brush, like the 18-inch grill

brush and scraper from Weber ($13, www.amazon.com). During the rest of the

season, brush right before and after cooking. A little residual grease is

good — it helps give grilled food its smoky flavor.

At the end of the season, dump the ashes and close the lid. Leave the grease

on the grate until spring; it will help prevent the metal from rusting.
