Y’all are disgusting! I actually considered entering last night, but i couldn’t even come close to any of these stories.

All you gotta do is turn the grill on high for about 10 minutes EVERY time you fire it up, then wire brush the ash off of the grates.

From the looks of it though, you’d all better have the fire department standing by if you tried this with the current state of your grills. Trust me: even Grill Daddy isn’t gonna rescue some of these grills.

The crud on my grill is beyond describing. My hubby burnt some Brats the other weekend, and never cleaned it. Then he cooks burgers this weekend, still not cleaned. Let’s just say our burgers taste like crud. Thanks so much for the opportunity.

Our grill is pretty disgusting- we use a charcoal one so that makes it even more grimey! We have major build-up of grease and burnt pieces but my DH’s philospohy is that it will burn off the next time we use it which never seems to work. There is only one time that I remember him cleaning it and it was when it was left open and it had bird poop in it. I am glad that he didn’t just try to burn that one off Thank you so much for the giveaway and if we win we will definitely put it to good use!

My grill has a bit of grease, grime and ashes. At the local corner bar where the best burgers in town are served I had always heard that the reason they were so delicious was that they didn’t clean their grill very often. I am not sure if this is true or not, but for some reason if I haven’t cleaned my grill very well things just seem to taste better!

I don’t have a disgusting story but instead one about the ultimate griller - my Dad. Even though, he won’t get this in time for Father’s Day, I will still give him this great gadget when it arrives. This is the man that gets up at 5:00 a.m. in the morning on the 4th of July and cooks pork steaks for over 50 people. He then cooks hot dogs and hamburgers for the additional 15 - 20 kids. My Dad has cooked at this annual barbecue for about 25 years and most of those years, it’s hot, hot, hot in St. Lou.

But his barbecuing skills and expertise do not stop there, he grills the best pork steaks (only those from St. Louis can understand the joys of pork steak) throughout the year in rain, heat and even snow. One New Year’s Eve, he cooked our meal in about a foot of snow.

There’s no one who deserves an extra little hand in cleaning up his grill than my Dad because he goes the extra mile when it comes to grilling. It would be nice to give him something that helps make the clean-up that much faster after his marathon grilling sessions!

My sweetie loves being the King of the Grill. I honestly haven’t gone near the grill for four years. Why you may ask? I would never be able to eat anything off of the grill if I went and saw what was on it.

You see, a few years ago, I went to put a steak on the grill and I noticed that there was a lot of thick, black drippings on the grill. So I placed the steak on a side table and brought the grill grating inside. Lee, my sweetie asked why I brought it inside. As I explained that I was about to clean it, he said, “No a grill doesn’t get cleaned, it just burns off.” The rest is for flavor.

So as you can imagine, I am scared of the flavor that jumps on the food.

OH the shame….

Cigarette butts!

NOT MY FAULT… anymore. But when we smoked, we used to put all the cigarette butts in the grill when we were done with them. Well.. it kinda got full. When summer rolled back around and my other roommate went to grill something… well.. needless to say we got another grill.

I’m young; I just moved into my first apartment in February. Some of the most inexpensive meals I can make include grilling veggies and lower-quality cuts of meat (everything tastes better when grilled) on the old-school Weber barbeque grill that was a hand-me-down from my boss. My roommate and I have such a hard time cleaning this grill, that must be at least 20 years old, that we’ve decided that the gunk on the grates that sticks to our food is a bonus a la Taco Bell’s “Fourth Meal” — we get an extra portion of food just by grilling. I’d really love to be able to taste what I’m cooking, and I don’t think that I’d be able to allocate budget for a Grill Daddy without letting something else go.

If I don’t win, I suppose I can at least continue thinking of the gunk as a bonus meal.

The crud build-up has formed into some weird looking shapes that stick up & out, and I swear one of the larger chunks of crud looks like it has legs! Another one looks like suspiciously like a well-done slug. It’s getting to the point that we’re afraid to grill for fear that we’ll end up eating one of these mystery grill-critters on a bun by mistake!
