Cleaning the Grates

I take mine to the car wash and line them up along the wall and wash them. 10 minutes later I'm headed home.

Set them against a tree and let my golden retriever have at them. Lol seriously though we found a tub big enough to fill with water, throw a little "grease lightening cleaner" into it and let them soak and then I just spray off the grates. My two cents.

I got the large cement mixing bins at either Lowes or Home Depot. Let them soak with some Simple Green and then rinse.

I just keep right on cooking.

I use the cement mixing trough as well. Spray them down with Unique Grime Eater and wash off about 20 minutes later. The Grime Eater is all natural and safe.

I clean them inside the smoke like you mentioned. As needed (maybe every 3 to 5 months) I soak them in a cement mixing bin (bought that to hold just the racks, no cement) and I put a little simple green in, let it soak overnight.

The gunk comes off (just watch it at the car wash, not sayin', but if you don't angle them right, all the gunk comes right back at 'ya)

I spray them with Greased Lightning and put them in big garbage bags. Take the next day to the car wash and spray them off. Like they were brand new. You can also just spray and put them in the garbage bag and rinse off with a garden hose. But if you want them spotless, do both..

Glad to see you are helping Rodney use up those buckets of small bottle samples from his main sponser.

Thanks for all the replies and input.

My shelfs are soaking in Simple Green in a concrete tub right now. Sorry did not have any Greased Lighting so i used Simple Green :-)

Exactly how I started using it Tom. Then Home Depot had some gallons on clearance for under $5... I am sold... Now if I could only land them as a sponsor. Too bad they have used all of that cash up...
