Weber Q Grills
#2
I do use a wire brush. But what works the best is when it's new, use a cloth and coat the top and bottom of the grill with olive oil. Then after grilling you should be able to use a cloth to wipe it off. Sort of along the lines of a cast iron skillet. Once it's treated, oiled and 'baked on', it should stay 'stick' free.

Mine is not new. We have only used ours a few times this past couple of years and were afraid to use a wire brush on it. In the past we have used the can of bbq grill cleaning spray but still had a slight problem. We have the brush that my husband uses on the charcoal grill.

It's best to clean w/a stiff brush when it is hot. After cooking you can do this or when you first start it up the next time. You should also oil it before placing food on it each time. You can use a old rag dipped in cooking oil or a heat proof basting brush. This will make clean up easier and your food will stick less.
