Ahhhh. I keep my grill clean but not spotless. I actually like the smoke from the little bits that fall through the grate. I have a wood grill tool that I use every time before and after I use the grill. The cooking surface is perfect. The rest provides flavor.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Haha, I know people that rarely clean their grill swearing that it adds flavour. I get it too. I'm just one I'd those who needs to have a clean grill, despite how bloody messy and annoying it is to clean. 🙄
