I built a huge bluestone barbie before xmas and put some lovely stained wood doors on the front, and sat the 4 burner in. Got plenty of use over xmas, the inlaws were down and for a few days we were cooking brekky, lunch and dinner on there and the 9kg bottle only lasted a week... now i'm thinking I should of ran some copper out and changed the jets to run on house gas before I built the raised patio area....

For the plate I only scrape the leftover bits off after cooking, and next time it gets fired up you heat it up, apply more oil and give it a wipe, nothing sticks

You can truly know when your bbq's run in when you fire it up and you can smell the other night's steak as the plate warms up!

Ahh BBQ's---- we have ours built into an entertainment area and on town gas right next to the "BAR" convieniently placed.

I have only to scrape the plate after cooking(wire brush 4 char grill) close the lid till next one leaving the oil stops rust

On fire up of the next BBQ... heat all areas to max...spray water on whole area.....bit of steam and all the nasty's have gone..nothing can live through 120 degree steam bath.

Beer Scotch and a feed with some good music ahhhhhh. :

All those using Coke, try using Soda Water. Same effect as Coke but without leaving sticky residue of the sugar.

I only clean before I cook , Salt the plate (drink a beer), heat the plate (drink a beer), scrap the plate (drink a beer), Tip hot water over plate ,(drink a beer), Cook .
BBQ's take time ,no need to rush them or waste beer..

The way I see it is that the grease left after use protects it from bugs that may crawl over it and also seasons the plate.... I never scrape it off too much... just enough to direct it down the drain.

maybe the new coke zero could have a practical use seeing as it's taste is not all that great

This is an interesting read as I just bought a four burner gas bbq (i prefer wood fire tho) myself. Its still not put together yet and I'm hanging to cook something on it.

Aaahhh new bbq ...burn it in for about 3to4 hours before real use this will burn off any crud and season it..ie when burn is finished,water/vinegar mix scrape and wipe clean..turn off gas wait 5 min then oil.

BBQ's should NEVER be cleaned/scraped/put within 20km of any cleaning implement.

Cook

turn BBQ off

Turn BBQ on

Cook

turn BBQ off

repeat

Just a quick run over with the barbie brush, and "wallah". Give it a quick spray with olive oil ready for next time.
