Food sticking to grates

Honestjbone · 02-25-2014, 11:36 PM

I use a WSM and noticed my briskets stick to the grate (unwrapped or wrap) and pull bark with fat cap off :'(. Or even some moist oily paper with it too.

Any tips on preventing that?

non-stick spray???

Try seasoning grates or spray but im guessing its not seasoned well. A little heat and oil should help resolve it.

This works real good and it's non-flammable.

You can season with Pam

Any time I have new grates I spray with Pam the first cook or two. No problems after that.

I have always used some EVO rubbed with paper towel.
It works.

Stop cleaning your grates.

PAM makes one specifically for grills...

I have had this issue too, but figure it is due to the new WSM. Unfortunately, since the food sticks, I have to clean the grates. It'll work out eventually, just not going to put this cooks meat on last cooks residue...

Totally forgot about grill PAM! Thanks guys u all rock

This might not be an issue with the WSM, but be careful with PAM. It burns easily when I use it on my gasser. I might have to find the Weber version so I don't have to worry about that.

Spray it on the grate before you put it on the grill. No flare ups.

Maybe I misunderstand what you mean by burns easily...
