my grill is stained from the weather/rain, is there something i can use to clean it up to make it look new again? i’ve tried stainless steel cleaner and tried vinegar neither seemed to do the trick. anybody have any secrets? thanks!
First, for the inside on the cooking grids, you can use a grill stone. Another approach is my "deep-cleaning" cycle which entails putting a few sheets of tin foil over the bbq grill cooking grid, and cranking the heat for a half hour.
This really cleans things (kinda like a self-cleaning oven) as it turns everything to ash – be sure to check your grill warrenty to make sure this is OK to do..
You’ll still have some greese goop on the sides, but hey, that adds some seasoning flavor! 
My BBQ Grill has ceramic tamers to disperse the heat (versus metal) and I’ve heard of various approaches to cleaning them … but these seem like a lot of work and run the risk of breaking ‘em. All I do it turn ‘em over!!!!
After they have cooked a few times, anything on the bottom has turned to ash; so when you rotate it, you got a pretty clean top – now that is an incredibly easy how to eh?!?
For the outside, wipe off any major food goop, then hit it with some "Bar Keeper’s Friend" which is a cleaning powder. This can scratch the stainless, so be careful. I then finish with "Stainless Steel Magic" which was recommended by a friend … and I tell ‘ya … it *IS* Magic! Be sure to cover it up when done

you can try oven cleaner but rinse it off thoroughly before using the grill
