Issues with foil-grill grate cleaning

[Hoss]

From someone from Primo at kamadoguru.com,

"Do not use a stone or brush on the procelain grates. We have a new Grate Cleaning Bar that works very well. I tend to clean mine after cooking so they are clean the next time."

Looks like this, I've used something similar on my kettle grate, it does the job but is slow.

I bought one of those from BGE.Like you say,it works but is slow.I think BGE called it a buddy bar or something like that.

Regular foil or HDAF, Adams?

Both

Hmmmm......

I hit my grates hard with HDAF when they're warm and I haven't noticed any flaking, but I'm not dealing with porcelain.

I still use a wire brush but mostly scrape with the metal blade side. I have a feeling most incidents are folks scraping hot grills and glue or plastic getting soft and freeing bristles. that and they over do it.

Bottom Line- it just doesn't work that well.

I've had this for around a year or so, I prefer foil.

I use oven cleaner. Spray them down and let them set about and hour the if need be scrub with a green pad the wash off.

I hit mine with the weedburner for a few minutes until everything is "toasted".I scrape it with the"Billy Bar",then spray it down with cooking spray.Sometimes,I just cook on it,crud and all.:wink:

Agree on cooking with crud. Cleaning mine may change everything

I’ve been havin the same problem with aluminum foil. Wonder if thry’ve changed the make-up so it’s less durable?

I think I’m going to try the billy bar, but the prospect of cleaning one rod at a time is rather daunting . . . .

If you got 12 hours to smoke meat, you got 12 remaining hours to clean the grate :laugh:

That's the stainless steel scouring ball I mentioned, with a handle.

I like it so far, I bought one at the local grocery store for $5. I like to clean my stainless grates hot, and dip the brush in water to "steam clean" while I rub them down. The handle is a must have for me.

I have stainless grates, so I can't relate to the porcelain issue. But I do keep my grates spotless by spraying with Citrussafe to loosen everything and then scrubbing with a chain mail scrubber that I also use on my cast iron pans.

I just use tongs or pliers to hold it.
