Here is a post on how one member cleaned the wooden mates of coal dust, might be worth a try.Otherwise, you could try a diluted bleach solution.

Thanks I shall certainly give that a try. One of my worries is where my shelves are a plastic resin, they might be "more sensitive". I think anything I try, I will run a test on the underside of the shelf first.

With a scrub brush, use Bon Ami or Bartender's Friend, two "no-abrasive" scouring powders. They work wonders on all sorts of things.*******Owner of a large and a beloved mini in Philadelphia

Try Greased Lighting, (yellow spray bottle) works good on plastic

I'm not big on plastic around my cooking area. One thought is to change the tops to cypress, ipe or some other durable wood with spar varnish. Having stainless cut is another option.Green egg, dead animal and alcohol. The "Boro".. TN

Jim, it may be time to build a nice table and ditch those little side cars

Those plastic wings are terrific on the small when cooking away from home. I haven't had charcoal dust get on them yet, but it's only a matter of time. Let us know what works. I'm thinking the alcohol or 409.Flint, Michigan

The best luck I had was with car wash soap. and a green scouring pad
I thought the composite would be easier to maintain - especially long term versus wood - but I think for everyday clean the wood would be better and so what if every year I'd need to water seal the wood. I could spend a significant amount of time trying to keep the comp. clean and at this point I'm "living with" a certain amount of not clean.

Warm water, comet and a sponge. By the way who picked the brown color for the plastic? Couldn't they have come up with something better?
