Soaking grills

[Dean Torges]

The lid of a 32 gal. Rubbermaid refuse container works to bathe both grills in a soapy hot-water soak. Stack the lower grill on top of the upper grill, and press them both down into the lid. The same flanges on the lid that center it on the refuse container also hold the grills in position. Requires very little soap and hot water to cover them.

A cut down plastic 55 gallon barrel works well and it doubles as a big dish pan. It will hold the grates and the water pans fron 2 wsm's.

I also found (at Orchard Supply Hardware), a large plastic tub for mixing concrete. Perfect size for soaking the grates, and only about $10. The inside "corners" are rounded so gunk can't hide there.

When soaking my grills I use automatic diswaher detergent. Works great. Saves on the elbow grease that sometimes can be needed.
