Cleaning your grill grates?
I use a brass brush, always have. I am careful to inspect after brushing to check for any loose bristles. I haven't been too concerned with it as long as I took special care. My Mom forwarded this article to me so I thought I would share and see what the knowledgeable brethren had to say about it.

Nice to know. I usually brush then wipe down with a cloth towel. Nice to know that I may be doing something right!

I spray mine with oven cleaner and let them set for a day. Wipe, rinse, done.

I save the cleaner pieces of used foil from leftovers. That seems to work out okay. I read about the dangers of wire brushes on here a year or so ago and got scared.
I bought a cleaning "stone" at Target a month or so ago. I'm not sure how to use it precisely and am not sure if I like it

I just use a pyroletic process....or, in English...I just load up with charcoal and leave to burn right up, about 500°F for about an hour or so then just wipe the dust off.

I bought a plastic tray that is big enough to hold my grate and soak it in soapy water, then scrub with a stainless steel brush. I then rinse with a hose end sprayer, clean as new.

Some of these methods seem like they are great for steel type grates, but what about for cast iron? I wouldn't want to get water or soap on them every time I needed to clean. Also wouldn't want to burn them clean. Both would require re-seasoning.
