1) I would never use beer to clean a grill, only to lubricate the griller. I hate outdoor grills with a passion. It's fun to cook on them, but damn does mother nature kick the **** out of them. You're lucky to have one last 3 years in humid climates. That's why everyone has to figure out how to get rust off of their grill, then end up cooking on it anyway, so you're eating broken down metal... I keep an electric flat grill for $35 from Walmart, that I set up outside on a folding table when I feel like grilling. when I'm done, I bring it inside, and wash, it, then put it away, so I don't have to stare at that eyesore the rest of the year whilst enjoying my porch.
This season, get ready for reviewing PI to become a complete clusterfuck. It's the first year, they'll be confused, and they'll **** it up. Then you'll have NYC calling in to help Brady get another first down on another phantom PI late in a game. Really going to enjoy that...
