As someone mentioned, we use our grill for all our outdoor cooking. Matter of fact, we use the inside stove as little as possible. Our roadtrip has a griddle and a coil to put pans on over a burner. And it surely doesn't take 15 minutes to heat up the gas grill.
One of the problems about camping with charcoal grills is the ashes. A gas grill I can turn off. A charcoal grill you have to let the coals burn out. Takes longer for it to cool off also. Then you got to deal with the dirty grill. I've just recently saw a campground with an actual ash can. I guess if they have a fire ring that you can dump the ashes in it.
We throw our coals in the firepit which nearly every campsite has. After ten minutes the grill's easily wiped clean with a damp paper towel.
I've never seen anyone wipe out a charcoal grill after every use....dump the coals yes...but wipe it down every time....no.
I'm guessing Ray was talking about wiping out the grill before stowing it to hit the road.
