I have one of these Char Broil nylon brushes.

Do you have a favorite brush/method/tool for cleaning grates?

Knows what a fatty is.
A cheap dandelion weeder works good on really stuck on gunk like after chickens were sauced with a sweet bbq sauce. Then some balled up foil or a regular grill brush for what's left.

To be honest I don't spend much time on it, except if I buy a used kettle and am giving it a serious rehab. Most times pre-cook I use my Weber charcoal rake. It scraps well and can be angled to reach any crusty crud hanging below the cooking plane.

Lots of different options - but I haven't seen anybody recommending those "Steam" models where water gets squirted on to the grill through the brush head which turns to steam and gets scrubbed by the tool.
Anybody have one and recommend it?

Bought a Billy Bar a couple of years ago and this has hands down become my favorite method. Affordable, safe, simple, quicker than you’d think and just flat out cleans from every angle

I made myself something very similar to a Billy Bar and it works very well on the straight rod grates I have on my Broil King gas grill but not on the expanded metal grates on my Outlaw smoker.

Didn't someone here post about a robot that rolled around and scrubbed the grates?
Looks like a clip remover Robb. :-D So you go rod by rod? :shock: That'll get annoying real fast for me.

Please be careful with cheap brushes.
I literally had to use tweezers to remove a brass bristle from my FIL's throat.
Had it gotten stuck an inch further down, we'd have been hospital bound.

I use a wood scraper too. 12 pack of wood shims from Home Depot $1.98. The grates end up making grooves in the wood. Burn when done.

Rub em off with a wooden scraper til they get too funky,then hit em with a weed burner and a pressure washer.
Indeed. It's like putting a Honey Badger in your grill! Still working fine.

Since this thread was posted I've used it on some friend's grills and smokers. This little rig will not quit. $20 for a brush or approx. $100?
