Might even try a propane torch/weed burner </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
I use a weed burner have for yrs and it keeps my grates really clean ! but you need to be careful were you use it don't wana burn down your house
Harbor Freight has or had them on sale for $14.99 . One other caution if you use it on a regular grate thats on the charcoal kettles if you get it to hot it a take off the nickle plating ! NBD just means to avoid rust you just need to wipe it down with vegetable oil after you get it burned clean and its cooled down .
Never had mine rust using a weed burner until last week . But my WSM grates I guess got to hot and I didn't wipe them with oil after burning them clean and got some rust .
IMHO a weed burner is a must have atleast for me for grate cleaning . It keeps them spotless and my one cooker is 30 yrs old and the grates are perfect .always been cleaned with some kina torch mostly a weed burner . Guess it didn't rust because of luck . But the vegetable oil a cure keeping the rust away . YMMV .
If a roaring torch a scare you them do not buy one you do need to be careful using one and they are easy to use and also easy to get carried away with do not ask how I know
And also if you were to crank it up all the way they sound like a small jet engine and get very friggin HOT .
By the way the weed burner hooks up to a 20 lb propane tank right out of the box !
One more thing if you have a gasser and a charcoal grill also its great for lighting the charcoal takes about 30 seconds to get them going big time
Iam kina of a Tim the TOOL MAN kina guy so a torch is my wepon a choice
Also one more safety tip IF you decide to buy and use one find yourself 3 or 4 cinder blocks to rest the grates on in a dirt area cleared of anything that a burn ! DO NOT DO IT ON YOUR CONCREATE it can and will explode the concreate now and then might even pop a block but there cheap ! Again do not ask how I know this
Iam NOT trying to scare anyone from buying one ! IMHO there the best tool for the job of cleaning grates and keeping them clean . But like any tool it must be used with the proper safety in mind and caution is all. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
