How do you guys clean all the black crap off after cooking over fire?

While in the wild, I simply go to a nearby stream or sand bed and use the sand the Earth provided to clean off the black. As one person already said, the black does make it conduct heat faster and so I don't worry to much about it most of the time.

Putting dawn dish soap on the outside of your pan before you put it on the fire will help with clean up.

Actually, I don'tworry about it. Clean the inside with a scotch bright type sponge. The black outside of the cup is inevitable, but actually helps conduct heat. All my cookwear has blackend exteriors.

try a moist paper or cloth with cold ash from the fire.... i think it will help.

I use that stove top cleaner for flat top stoves and it comes right off... It's not real grainy stuff so it doesn't scratch the pot. If you don't have that I'd say you could use a little soft scrub. Hope this helps...

I just rinse it out with hot water and a brush. How else would you do it? Not in the dishwasher for sure.

I alway spray with Pam first. After the grill cools down, I use a Scotch Brite scrub sponge with normal dish soap. Cleans up nicely.

Thermal cleaning (running the grill on high for 15 minutes after removing food off the grill) is the best suggestion for cleaning. When cleaning the cooking surface with a wire brush, do so while the grill surface is still hot. It's easier to clean while still hot than when it's cold.

I clean my grill by burning the residue from cooking, letting it turn to ash and then brush it off. Works great though obviously it uses more propane to do this.

It's pretty simple. You just unscrew the bolt that holds the heating element in place and then remove the whole coil. After that you just clean everything. It's a little harder for me because I line the grill pan with lava rocks.

They make a spray for that purpose. I wet the cooktop with hot water with vinegar and and scrub if necessary with a little baking soda. Cleans it beautifully. You may have to let the hot water and vinegar sit if badly stained.

For my friend's grill in Las Vegas with the dry climate you can rinse with (soapy) water and let it dry out and simply scrub the grill.Out on the coast in California, just scrub the grill and simply dump out the ashes and brush out the excess ash. Do NOT get it wet, it will start to crumble. After every use, put it away in a dry space. Mine lasted barely 2 years before it started to fall apart. I'll charge this to experience and will not buy another one. Btw, I bought mine from an seller in Florida and it came with a cracked ceramic grill which never was replaced, so that also the help with my experience. Just an FYI.

Well after I clean it I spray a light coating of "high heat" Pam cooking spray and with a cloth wipe the entire grill down and then cover with a plastic cover for the winter! I hope this helps.

If you follow the instructions in the manual, and use thermal cleaning to bake off the residue on the grill, it's easy after that to clean with a wire grill brush. Make sure all the holes in the grate are clear of residue. Every second or third cookout, I will remove the grate and clean out the grill bowl with a damp cloth or soap/water mix. Some burnt residue from cooking will fall through the holes onto the grill bowl. It's easy to clean, damp rag or soap/water mix with rag.

I simply let the grill burn off at high heat and then clean off the ash with a wire barbeque brush. You could use an oven cleaning product but one of the secrets to great barbeque is the conditioning of the grill. Have fun!

I just hand wash it with hot water and detergent. Rinsing with water prior to washing helps remove meat scraps. It cleans up pretty easily.

IF let's off a fair amount of smoke. I was not very happy, and would net rocommend. For me, the problem I had was it got too hot, even on the lowest of settings for my gas burner. Also, it's impossible to clean, without scraping of the coating. the last time I used it was to sear tuna. I let it sit for a day and scrubbed very hard to remove the residue. I used a sponge,then a soappad, becasue the sponge did nothing for the black residue ledt behind. I scrubbed so hard some of the costing rubbed off, and there is still residue left? Hope you have better luck and this was helpful

I would suggest you to add some detergent in the pan, then put it on stove to heat it up a little bit. It will help you to remove those grunges easily.

Once you finish cooking, unplug the grill then fold a damp paper towel and put it in the grill, it will steam clean itself. When you're done eating just wipe it down with the paper towel! Super easy cleanup. I use mine at least once a day.

wipe out the bits with stiff brush or other similar thing. paper towel for excess oil. the oil can stay on the grill a long time without harm to the next batch. My unit died and I threw it away. Not well made inside I guess.
