Question
We are staying in a guesthouse owned by someone who does not observe Torah and mitzvot, and it is unknown if kashrut was maintained there. How can we use the grill?
Answer
The charcoal can be used without any concern, but a used grill requires koshering the grates through intense heating. Since it is difficult to perform intense heating, they should not be used, and new grates should be purchased and immersed. A reusable grill grate requires immersion even on the first use, even if used once and then discarded (and according to those who are stringent about koshering new utensils, it should be placed on the fire for a few minutes). A disposable grill does not require immersion, but if reused, the grates require immersion.
