Yeah, a scrapper would probably help. What I always did when I worked the grill is to make sure I kept the area always clean, and I didn't let things get out of control and grease to get everywhere. An easy way to to clean the grills is to have them on high heat and put water on them and scrub them down with a thick rag soaked in water so that you don't get burnt. Or you can use the scrapper once you find it to guide the rag along the surface of the grill so that your hand doesn't stand a chance of getting burnt. I've found that really hot water takes almost anything off of dishes, grills, etc.
