I attribute it to the burned on goodness that can build up on grates,
no matter how well you scrub them with the wire brush. The reality is
I don't know either. I'm from the school of thought that says "don't
look a gift horse in the mouth", so I don't want to know because it
may be something I won't want to hear.
