No, those are called dirty grill marks.

  Just like a cast iron skillet, it doesn't hurt every once in a while. Just season them well again before using. We do the Weber gas grille up at the lake ~ 1 a year, too many flare ups otherwise.

Once mine warms up I always hit it with a wire grill brush. 

[Gunner55]

Same here, but it builds up down below after a while.

I stopped using a regular wire brush and went to a cheap tool from Menards that looks like a spiraling spring twisted on the end of a handle.  Saw too many news articles about wire bristles breaking off and getting attached to food. Another thing that works pretty well on a warm grill is a chunk of onion on the end of a fork.

I clean the bottom of the grill now and then to prevent flare ups. On rare occasions I will lightly rub down the grates

Or right after the food is removed,grates still really hot,just as easy to wire brush off and spray some olive oil on the grates.

Sorry mike I assumed everyone uses a charcoal grill these days....takes awhile for the coals to burn out,I can understand using a gas grill this doesn't apply,never used a gas grill.

all good I use both gas and charcoal!!  besides the pellet smoker...   

[Gunner55]

Our smoker is a Weber Kettle, we have 3. One here & 2 at the lake, brother got 1 at an auction for $20. Figured the parts were worth that much.

i have a smoker, charcoal and gas grill. and each one has its specific tasks depending on what i cook!!!!!!!!!! and i maintain them all the same!!!!!!

turkey, chicken and pork loins ALWAYS get cooked over charcoal and even a steak now and then. i've even used the gas grill occasional like an oven when we are cooking for a bunch and the oven is full!!!!!!!

[Gunner55]

A lot of brats, burgers, & even steaks on the Weber gas at the lake for us.

Weber kettle, especially the Performer. There is nothing you can’t do, grill, searing, smoking, vortex.

ours also, 1 at the cabin and now the kid has my old one. I enjoyed hitting the pan with the leaf blower, cleaned it off nicely!

[LPS]

Good news, I just brought the ham in from the beer fridge in the garage and it is 12 lbs not 9 like I thought.     Bobb you influenced me to put it in the smoker instead of the oven.  I will put it in at 225 with flat side down in a cast iron pan.  I will just used a small amount of apple chips so it doesn't get too smoky.  Gonna be a fun time.  SO I have it warming up now and then the process begins. 

[Bobberineyes]

The ladies wanted beer brats n fries tonight,  soooo looks like I'll be outside looking in. I told the whipper snapper it'll cost her a couple of not my beers for starters,  the onions swimming will end up on toasted buns..

[glenn57]
