It was required. I did it unwillingly, but I also had a grilled meal plan, so I did what I had to do! The bonus is that I did the cleaning and the meal in less than an hour. This grill is old, but I try to keep it running! I've replaced the gas burners, the grills, the grates, everything in the past two years, and it's still cooking away.
Lovely capture and I get your grill cleaning unwillingness. But you put on your big girl pants and got the job done. And a photo to boot! Well done. :-)
I don’t envy you the grill cleaning but if it keeps your grill working then worth it in the end! I am sure you created a fabulous meal after the cleaning! Great image!
