BBQ

BBQ Cleaner 1
The traditional ritual of starting the BBQ and letting the plate heat up, then
pouring some beer over the hotplate & rubbing with scrunched up newspaper.
There may be better cleaners out there, but none that add that extra taste to the snags (sausages)! 

BBQ Cleaner 2
Another customary way is heating the plate & rubbing salt over the plate using newspaper.
