I am on the fence about the BBQ cleaning and just hiring someone. I figured that a couple years of a moron (me) using it and not keeping it as clean as one would hope, that a professional would have the chemicals to get it back to nearly new. Also the igniter is going bad.

Add in the fact that each frond can grow to be 20 feet long and the part with the seed can become like 60 pounds, it takes many weeks of garbage can space to throw out.

Here are two of the four that I have in the front. The taller one in the photo is just starting to get out of reach.
We don't even put them in the garbage can here. Cut them into 6 foot sections and stack up all we want.

Living that life! We get three trash cans to dispose of our waste. Trash, garden, and recyclables. We need to call them for large item pick up if and we only have a few of those allotted per year.

Guess that's why your taxes are so low... wait wut? I mean, I guess that's why your government is so flush with cash... oops sorry... I'll try to think of something that makes sense of the situation and get back to you.

Those are some great examples! Those were all probably voted on policies as well. Florida sure does know how to vote!

If you don't have time/skill or your time is more effective for other tasks and you have the funds....hire someone.
If you lack funds and don't mind learning and possibly f'n things up....sack up and have at er,who knows you may just save some money.
No shame in effective time management and delegating when appropriate.

He basically dremeled off the grease but never napalmed the grill and turned it to dust then vaccummed it out.

Super fuckign annoying.

I've got a 3 burner Weber Genesis and I'm thinking I should probably give it a good cleaning after reading this.

Pay someone to clean the BBQ? Never heard of that one before. I mean I will just turn it on high before I cook and use one of the brush thingies to clean the grill. Other than that I have replaced those things that go over the flames because they basically rotted away and now my grid is started to get rusted so I may have to replace that. However vacuum it and shit... wtf?

I use cole or wood for bbq, the results just are better.

We have a cleaning lady (or as we call it the Sock Finding Guru). I love cooking and building shit so while doing those I'm saving a lot.

After reading this I went through my financial history and I can honestly say that if I outsourced my daily duties, I'd be living in Sara income class. That would mean for me more money making working hours and I love spending my time with my kids.

I'm too lazy to start a coal/wood fire especially since we use the BBQ a lot. I have a smaller coal one and a smoker which I do use when I'm up for it.

I may actually have to replace mine because the tubes where the gas runs through have rusted out near the top so the top of the grill is the flames of hell and the front is totally chill. However it's a cheapie home depot grill not some fancy OT $10k grill so I'm happy it's lasted like 5 years.

Lol!

I've built my own, and I am currently building a new patio that includes those. We grill everything in the weekends and also in the summertime.

I am addicted to cooking so when in finland with our 3 month summers (rains, always. No sun but never dark either) I expect to get so fat the winter can be handled. I tend to succeed.
