barbeque cast iron grill

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?

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

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! -- Jeff |

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. Andrew |

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. -- Jeff |

I have owned Weber BBQs for more than 20 years. I have never paid more than £70 for a Weber BBQ all had stainless steel grills. Are you referring to charcoal BBQs? I had a look through www.weberbbq.co.uk, and although their charcoal BBQs have SS grills, the gas ones don't (why not?!) unless they cost a few bob. What model numbers were/are yours? -- Jeff |
