The easiest way to clean the grill is immediately after cooking is completed and after turning off the flame. Wear a barbeque mitt to protect your hand from the heat and steam. Dip a brass bristle barbeque brush in tap water and scrub the hot grill. Drip the brush frequently in the bowl of water. Steam, created as water contacts the hot grill, assists the cleaning process by softening any food particles. The food particles will fall onto the hot lava rocks and burn or fall into the drip tray. If the grill is allowed to cool before cleaning, cleaning will be more difficult.

If you remove the grates for cleaning, care should be taken in lifting them. They are very heavy. Place the grates on a protected surface.
