Barbecue/Grill soot

Question
Recently my grill has developed a black soot on its racks which then transfers to the meat. What is causing this and how do I remedy the problem.
Thanks
what type of grill: gas or charcoal. Soot can be caused by many things: bad gas, accumulation, bad air flow. Have you ever cleaned it? I mean really cleaned it: taking it apart and cleaing everything. Do you normally wipe/brush down the grates before and after cooking?
