Yep, the grill needs to be very hot and those wire brushes do wonders
to get any bits of meat, breading, etc. off to prevent further sticking
and a burnt smell from left-on bits. A long handled wire brush is one
of a grillers best friend. And when the grill is at it's hottest, that
stuff seems to slide right off with very little scraping.
