How to Clean Burn Marks Off of a Barbecue Grill

If you notice flaky burn marks falling inside the grill, you can remove them without purchasing commercial products. The flakes actually consist of accumulated smoke and residue that seasons the grill so that the food has a charred flavor. The flakes can build up over time and become a nuisance. Grill grates and the interior of the grill are also prone to burn marks that can ruin the appearance of the cooking appliance.
