bbq: I've never bbq'ed at a public park and am planning on it soon. With the public grills... How do you clean them? What if they are rusty? do you just scrape them with a wire brush, wipe them down, and then start the fire which sterilizes them? Sorry if this is a stupid question, I just wouldn't want to get sick from not preparing the grill properly. Thanks!|||Yes, with fire no problem... May I suggest a disposable BBQ, typically sold at the grocery store for under $10 bucks, and worth it if it helps you relax. Honestly, don't bring to much... Bring more non-perishables, snacks - And run down to target, I see that they have a hammock on sale for $25 bucks... SWEEEEEET!!!!!|||invite your people, and make a menu/grocery list. People dont like it to be too awkward when they first get there, so have plenty of things to do and stuff to talk about. make them feel comfortable, be proffesional, but not too professional! Oh and with the grills, just scrape of as much crap as you can, then light it, and let it burn for a few minutes.|||I would take my own grate and set it on top of grill--I won't use someone else's filth, along with the bird poop you'll probably find. Why not just carry your own little grill to the park?|||Scroll down this link for several suggetions: http://www.ehow.com/tips_986.html|||That is not a stupid question! Definately clean them with a wire brush. Actually I would start the fire then clean it. It will burn most of it off. If you are worried about rust and nastiness then bring foil. Better to have it and use it, than be stuck on a grill with UGH and RUST on it! Trust me, they are out there!! LOL Good luck and Happy Grilling!|||most grills are not as bad as you think...people use them for cooking, not fornicating on...that would be extremely uncomfortable. I suggest bringing along a wire brush, a kitchen cloth and vegetable oil. rub the oil onto the grates and scrub it with the brush, then wipe it down with an oiled rag. this will get rid of any surface rust. next light a raging fire, this will kill any bacteria that is left, and the oil will help to catch the entire grill on fire....have fun!
