What if I told you that there was a robot that could clean your grill? They've got them for vacuuming, delivering packages right to your door from Amazon (well, that one is a little bit into the future), but there is also a robot that will clean your grill! Introducing the GrillBot!
All you have to do is let your grill cool down to 250 degrees, put the GrillBot on the grill, push the button ,and let it go! It's got three powerful motors that spin three wire brushes that scrape away all the left over food that is caked onto your grill. It has a timer to let you know when it's done, it has rechargeable batteries and the brushes can be removed and put into the dishwasher for cleaning.
Take all the work away and let a robot do the work!
P.S., if you really want to do it the old fashioned way, I'd love to hear your tips and tricks for keeping your grill clean. Let me know in the comments below.

How do I fix the barbeque grill?
To reset the check valve and get back to cooking on your gas barbecue grill, firstturn everything off. Turn off the grill, the rotisserie, the side burner and the LP gas cylinder tank. Once everything is turned off disconnect the propane tank from the gas grill regulator by unscrewing it or pulling the quick-release on older or retro-fitted propane cylinders. Now turn the grill on. I know, it is dis-connected from the gas tank but we want to ensure that the pressure in the gas lines or any gas in the burners is released.
• Leave the grill, side burner, rotisserie, etc on high for a few minutes with the hood open before turning all the valves back to the off position.
• Make sure. Most gas barbeque grill valves must be pushed in to turn them and if turning is attempted without pushing the knob, they will not turn to the “on” position.
• With the grill, et al turned off reconnect the propane tank and slowly turn the hand wheel to the open position.
• Slowly. The trick here is to turn the hand wheel slowly.
• When the propane gas tank is new or newly-filled, the gas is full and the OPD is pushing slightly on the top filled area and the gas will want to burst through the valve. Slow it down by turning the valve on slowly and the check valve will reset itself.
Once this is complete, you should be able to turn the barbeque grill on high and ignite your gas grill burner. Your barbecue cooking heat should be back to normal and cooking times decreased. If the problem persists, try this process again to make sure you followed every step. The check valve exists to save your life if there is a leak in any of the gas fittings. Constant check valve issues could imply a gas leak and a visit from your local gas grill service technician may be necessary.
To find a leak, turn the barbeque grill valves to the off position and the gas tank valve to the full on position. This should pressurize the gas line. Spray soapy water on all the fittings and look for bubbles just like checking for the leak in a flat tire.
Do not attempt to correct a gas leak on your own. While a check valve error when your gas BBQ grill will not get hot or will not ignite is a user education error and an issue corrected by learning about your barbeque and your propane tank, a gas leak should be corrected by a licensed gas service technician. When using your gas grill, turn the tank on first and then the barbecue grill to begin grilling. When you are done cooking, turn the gas tank off first and then turn off the barbeque grill valves. This will minimize the amount of residual pressure left in the gas hose. Keep some safety features in mind regarding your gas BBQ grill parts and you will not buy replacement parts that you do not need. Aside from that be safe, eat well and have fun.
