I have a 200+ lb. iron wood pit that sleeps outside. Our prevailing offshore breeze has a tendency to kick up a lot of crud that likes to sneak under the well-tightened cover and attach itself to grease and bits hanging about the grill. Nothing spoils a well grilled tri-tip or top-block like Unidentified Grill Grit aka UGG. This is especially annoying on grilled veggies with the exception of Big Jims or Anaheims (which in reality are fruits of the gods) because we peel them boys after grillin'. It takes a real man to stand over a roaring blaze of red oak and wire-brush the UGG off a steel grate! Though, in deference to bro' Rael, a real man cooks bacon nekkid! In Chiles, Doug
