How to clean a charcoal grill
Locate a suitable area to clean your grill.
This area should be away from your campsite or off to the side of your yard. You'll be brushing ash and encrusted char off the grill at this location, so it should be far from walking paths.

Pick your answer from: * Also use a special charcoal-flame cleaner. Depending on the type of grill you use, you may choose a specific area.; * Choosing a cleaning location far from walking paths will prevent ash and char from being tracked around your campsite or home. Brush dirtiness from the grate.; * Fill the grill with the fuel you'd like to use. This should come from either live wood or a frozen burned wood, both of which are avoided by wood hobbyists.; * The charcoal is flammable, so it may strike inanimate objects in the smoke area. Spray or spray the briquettes with salt water.;
