Grillin & Chillin

[cany]

I get it now. Serious cleaning coming before the next meal. I've been neglecting some maintenance just because we don't really do big cooks. It's usually a couple o' burgers and corn or a steak.

Now I'm going to Shop-Vac the marbles out of the bottom and change the tinfoil grease tray more than once.

Thats what gets me I usually do the cleaning after the fire

Well, not exactly. I've managed to get a few meals done without a thorough cleaning, but it makes me nervous.

Today I got the garden hose and Shop-Vac out and cleaned the marbles out of the poor thing.

Right now she's cooking off the EZ-Off Stainless cleaner, whatever water is left, and some crud on the grates.

I'm leaning towards using some lye solution to get the crispy fats off the grates. Does anyone have any thoughts on getting the soot stains off of things?

Trust me, it's much worse in other places. Just looking for ideas.

I was watching /reading somewhere BBQ peeps use a raw onion to clean the grates while they are warm. For the soot light power washing or Bleach

There just happens to be a light power washer sitting right next to the grill. Great idea. Why didn't I think of that?

Pull the grates and power wash them too
