My father just sold his house and gave me his stainless steel bbq (Char-Broil). It's ten or so years old but in relatively good shape. I cleaned the whole thing today with soap/water and a high pressue hose. A bunch of that grease came off. But a considerable amount still remains on the metal grill things and everywhere below. Basically, how much of that stuff has to come off for it to pass as "clean"??? Also, the ignition switch is broken, which needs to be replaced. I personally have no idea how to do this and am thinking about calling a repair tech. to come and basically do a tune-up. I am assuming that bill would be somewhere in the $200.00 range. With that said, is it even worth trying to restore this thing??? From my limited experience in bbqs, I would say this bbq was a high end unit back in its day...
