Is there something you can put at the bottom of the grill that will make the cleaning process easier? Had a few flare ups this weekend which reuined some good meat; partly due to the wind I'm guessing but I dont want to experience it again. Any suggestions?

Several layers of foil maybe?

If it’s a quicker cook, 20 min or so, foil will work. Over several hours, may have to layer up or replace mid cook. Either shouldn’t be an issue. You’re probably cooking a lot of fat or with heavy oils.

Get some grillgrates. Best grilling accessory I've ever purchased. Eliminates flare ups and turns your grill into an infrared searing machine.

How does a flare-up ruin meat? We talking a flare-up that lit the meat on fire and was left unattended?

Buy a high-end grill and this problem either goes away or is minimal.

flareups occur on a grill when the fat renders out of the meat and catches fire. the best way to prevent it is to cut the excess fat off the meat and try not to use too much oil when marinating/basting. if the fire is hot enough to cook the meat, it is hot enough to ignite dripping fat, so forget trying to keep that from happening.

fwiw, I always grill on a pretty hot fire and never walk away from the grill while doing it.

Learn how to grill and the right technique to apply. Sometime it is part of the process

Where in the grill did the fire burn? Are you talking about the bottom part under the burners or over them?
