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.
