The grill that sits on top of my little barbeque is cast iron. The

A stainless steel grill I also have (but dont use much, because it does
not sit well on the barbeque) is easy to clean, because I can soak it
in a water tank for a week or two after use so the burnt will always
scrape off easily. If I soaked the cast iron one like that I think it
would quickly turn to
rust. So would anyone have any experience of easily cleaning a rough
surfaced cast iron grill after use? Thanks.
We have one similar. Cleans well on a hot BBQ... Failing that a wire
brush taken to it works OK too.

If you're not up to that, what about one of those oven-tray cleaning
bags and some caustic soda?

Mine (albeit stainless steel) came up well with the application of a
pressure washer.

What make is yours? I have been looking for a gas BBQ with SS grill for
some time, but have never seen one for sale in the UK at a reasonable price
(all cast iron/ porcelain coat/ chrome plated).

Probably cheaper to make an SS grill to fit!

It's made by a firm called Hotspot, who iirc are based somewhere in
Somerset. But it's not gas. It a conventional charcoal BBQ with a spun
steel (or is it aluminium) pit and tripod legs. Doubles as a fire pit in
the evening after the BBQ has finished.
