We're SEARious about barbeques  

PROBLEM: Paint appears to peeling off inside of lid and falling on food.

SOLUTION: 1)Remove lid from BBQ

                      2) Wash inside of lid with warm soapy water to remove build up

                      3) Dry off and reattach

Explanation:  Believe it or not, 99.9% of barbeques are not painted on the inside of the casting.  What you actually have is a build up of carbon and grease that when it gets thick and heavy enough will peel off exactly like paint would.  It is shiny on one side and dull on the other.
