<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I'm just wondering if it would be possible to rid a BBQ of gluten by excessive burning. For example I had a bbq this past summer and because our family has used this for cooking a lot of foods containing gluten I chose to let it burn at high heat for 30 minutes, then scrape the bars before cooking my food on it. Wouldn't this destroy the proteins we call gluten? I didin't get sick after doing this. Another possible solution is to have a second grill made that can be clamped on top of the contaminated one an inch or so above to add protection. If a virus can not survive the intense heat of a fire then why would a gluten protein? This is merely a thought and not a shot at anyone on the list...
