Time to rebuild the grill my boss gave me back in '14 when they bought a new one.
As it looked the day I brought it home:
And inside:
So I pulled out the cooking grates, ceramic flame-tamers, flame-tamers grid and burners
Then spent some quality time with Goof Off kitchen cleaner, a scrub brush and a screwdriver
Pulled the grill out away from the steps and shoveled up the old maple seeds and the worm-filled compost below (it was about 4" deep!). Then I had to come inside for some AC and cold drink time.
About to go back out. I have 3 new electrodes and wires, plus the rack that the burners sit on at the back, to install next. Then new burners, put the cleaned-up flame tamers grid and flame-tamers back in place, then new cooking grates. One new handle to replace the one that has loosened too much to work properly. Then light it all to burn off any remaining cleaner and any coating that came on the new stuff. I replaced the ignitor itself a couple years ago, along with the propane regulator and hose.
Hopefully, I get all of that done before the scheduled thunderstorms, then I'll clean myself up and go get slabs of beef to grill for dinner.
