    How do you normally prep an old charcoal grill? Some go all out with cleaners and wire brushes and others just run a hot burn. I fall in the middle.

    Spent some time yesterday cleaning off the grill and ran a hot burn to prepare it for today. Now I’m getting it set to a nice 225 and am prepping the ribs to go on in 15 minutes...

    Had no time for this last year, so am going to make the best of a bad situation this year.

      Depends how much I use it during the winter. This year I didn't do anything, but it stays well sealed up so there wasn't anything to do but brush the grates and fire it up. Usually I will pressure wash the inside once a year. PKs break down real easy.

        I do a hot burn and then brush it with a wet brush. I do that before every grill whether I grilled the night before or 5 months ago.

        Well, sometimes in the summer I’ll use one half one night, the other the next, and do a hot burn the following time.

        Wastes fuel, but it’s easy.

        Thank you for your attention to this matter.

          How do we insert photos? Do I have to go back to hosting on a site and linking?

            To save space on the server, yes.

            It's possible to put pics here directly, but they will start taking up space and we'll have to upgrade to a larger server, if I understand correctly.

            Remember the "good" old days when you couldn't hotlink a picture.

            Good times.

            The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

              I just post mine on FB with only me as the privacy and then link to it.

                Don’t worry about this too much. If space becomes an issue I can presumably just delete images but keep the posts.
