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!

Weber BBQs have stainless steel grills.

I did state "reasonable price". Only the top-of-the-range Webers have
stainless steel grills, and they start at around £900! All the rest have
porcelain/enamel/cast iron grills.
