If it's on the grate and it doesn't burn off it's "seasoning" 'Bout all I do for the grate is to heat it as hot as I can and hit it with the wire brush then oil it before cooking. I've smoked banananana peppers, jalapenos and Anaheims in my gas grill using a very very low flame and grapevine cuttings for the smoke. Pretty decent stuff. I may try that again.
