Safe and dangerous ways to clean a Weber cooking grate

[JamesCAsphalt]

I used sufuric acid and a blow torch. Now the grate is gone. So, it's real clean.

I just steam clean with a tray of water in the middle with 2 weber baskets full of briquettes on the sides. Vents full open top and bottom, just let it burn hot and boil all the water out of the tray.

No chemicals, just heat. Its similar to steam cleaning your oven. When its done takes almost no effort to brush the grime off. In most cases it just falls of the grates.

A great tip is soaking the grid overnight in hot water mixed with sodium carbonate (about 2–3 tablespoons per litre). It’s a cheap, non-toxic degreaser that works wonders on grease without damaging metal. Just rinse well the next day and dry, no harsh chemicals needed.

I just get my grate really hot with the coals then turn the garden hose nozzle on the jet setting, which is basically like a weak pressure washer and that gets everything off. Then the fat from whatever I’m cooking protects it from rusting until next time.

Get a cast iron grate and save all your trouble. Scrape while still hot, wipe with oil once it cools, then your done.

If you want to avoid a bristle getting stuck in your intestines, and you need to get it surgically removed,
ball up aluminum foil and scrub the crap out of it While hot. Let it get hot again and scrub it with a half cut onion . Assuming you know how to properly season and re-season the grates.

That citrusafe stuff worked really well. I only gave it one good pass and a fast pass with it and my grill is good to go.

Wait until you do a self clean on your oven then hang the grate inside. Itll clean it like new
