just wondered if anyone has the Outback U BBQ, and if they have any suggestions of how to keep it clean.

the wire grill and drip tray are easy, but its the area under the burners that is the hard part !

any suggestions would be gratefully received :-)

I think that this area is a problem. I got one of these the other day after they were reduced to £19.99. I can't get the automatic ignition to light which is a bit disappointing but having looked at it, I agree the underneath part of the burners looks a nightmare to get to. Someone posted that they had covered the bottom in foil. Whether that helps or not I don't know. If I want to light this thing then I'm going to have to get some of those long cook's matches.

Remove drip tray.
Remove grill
Carefully remove 4 screws retaining fixed drip trays and remove.

If you have a dishwasher, put all of the above (except screws) in there and run it on ultra-filthy setting.

Put the BBQ on the kitchen sing draining tray and fill the sink with hot-as-you-can soapy water.
Some vinegar in there helps too.

Go at it with a toothbrush!

It'll be left with a thin coat of grease, but it's clean and not smelly.

I'm considering getting myself a steam cleaner with some sort of nooks-and-crevices attachment.

Other things I've found useful:

1) Use the carry case as a windbreak.
2) Buy a wok lid which is the same width (or less) as the width of the grill and use it for everything.

However:
Do NOT use a lid that covers or directs heat towards the can compartment. It can heat the can and it can explode.
Do NOT touch the metal part of the lid. It's instant serious burns.

Apart from that, it beats trucking a portable charcoal one or using those crappy disposable things down the seafront on a Sunday.

For the ignition, check the spark pin is close enough to the burner. If it's too far away it won't spark, you can probably swivel it or bend it slightly.
