a pumice stone that looks like a charcoal briquette or grill bricks which is the same thing but bigger, takes all the hard thick stuff right off, then get it hot and brush it down with a wire grill cleaning brush (not a regular wire brush) after that its pretty much clean as new but it does require prep time before you are ready so don't try to do this 10 minutes before you need to start cooking.

bottom line is you need to clean it when you finish cooking but most people are too lazy or drunk to remember to do that.

I've been wondering, too. Lately, I have seen articles from GI doctors warning against wire brushes, tge individual wire bristles will stick to the grill. If, somehow,they get Iin the food or Iingested, tgey can do serious damage :(

Once the grill is hot, balled up aluminum foil does great. Ball it up and scrape the grate.

What all these people talking about sprays and soaking in liquids are referring to really is an acid bath. They're just talking commercial overpriced fancy labeled watered down bs.

If you need it good and in a hurry skip the labels, find some industrial strength acid. Hydro, hypo, etc., kinda chlorite should be available. Just be really careful and use a very good set of long sleeved neoprene gloves (maybe boots too). You'll also need to account for proper safety disposal too.

Put that High School or College chemistry class knowledge to work! (greases are fats, since from animals are gonna contain a lot of amino acids and proteins in solution)

Check Industrial Cleaning Equipment/Solution Supply businesses in the area.

Oil it down, super high heat for an hour, scrape with wire brush, re-oil as after you clean it, then let it slowly cool down.

Never failed me.

Too late now but aftrer every grill I spray with lighter fluid and burn the he'll out of the grill.

I quit using wire brushes after we found pieces of it in the meat one year at a buddies. Found out after digging just how many people have gone tto the ER for that shite.

I scrape mine with heavy duty aluminum foil ball and throw it away

The use of a wire brush is terrible advice.

Take off the grills, use a wire brush to clean them, then spray them with a hosepipe, pass the wire brush across the grills one more time.. But them back on pit.. if its not gas, put some charcoal in there, maybe some wood chips and just let it burn for awhile.

Get it really hot so that it burns most everything off. Wire brush (sorry but it's needed) and then take a dish towel, roll it up, dip it in olive oil, and brush down the grill.



This is the correct answer. But don't use olive oil. You should use an oil with a high smoke point, like canola or peanut.

Those Yoshi grill mats are the shite. The copper ones too. I bought them to use when I want to cook bacon wrapped stuff over direct heat. But they are also good to take with you to the beach in case the house you're in has a shitty grill.
