Why is it

[Brad Olson]

...that I have no problem cleaning my own grills after my own cooks, but cleaning somebody else's gunk out of a grill I just acquired grosses me out to no end?

 

[Jim Lampe]

...because they may have smoked human brain in it??

 

[G Schafer]

Maybe you're doing it wrong?

You just never know what was in that grill and how long it's had to mature into something really nasty. Then you clean it and it becomes airborne particles and snort...YUK!

 

[Greg in Utah]

They could have cooked haggis in that thing. Wear extra protection

When I bought my used performer the first thing I did was, toss the food grate in the trash. No way was I going to clean it or cook on it!
