Usually just shut my grill off and go eat. When I fire up the grill to use again I brush it with a good brush. Have never had my grill build up anything to scrape off.

After a year or so I dump and the ashes type stuff out of the bottom of the grill (not the grates). But usually don't get to aggressive as I consider some of that stuff the seasoning for the grill.

Replaced my old grill with a smoker/roaster/grill and didn't use the old one for an entire summer. When I went to make it look good to sell, the old grill had about 4 bird's nests in it.
