You idiot, there's much more to cleaning a grill than the grates...
those liners this thread is about pertains to lining the bottom of the
grill, has nothing whatsoever to do with grates, in fact in my
previous post I concurred how the grates just need heating and wire
bushing. It's not necessary to make any portion of a grill like brand
new but it's a good idea to scrape away the built up crud. Try to
keep up.
