I found that my Grill Grates were looking like they needed a serious cleaning. So I decided to do something different. Not one of my finer moments, however. I decided to not clean/burn-off the crud on my Grill Grates recently on the grill. However, I did put them into the oven and turn it on to “clean”. The first picture is the Grill Grates before they went into the oven.

The next picture involves a little “smoke” escaping from the locked oven door. I am happy to report that my smoke detectors are working just fine.

If I do this again, I will remove more of the crud before firing up the oven. I didn’t get an after photo, but trust me, the Grill Grates look better than when they started.

I think you need a weed burner from Harbor Freight!

pretty easy to do with a simple propane torch

My neighbor told me once that her hubby would put their grates in a big trash bag and toss in some ammonia and he would seal the bag tight and the grates would come out clean...sounds old school to me.
I got me one of those torches.......great for the que and great for killing creepy critters around the property!!

I have cleaned a lot of really cruddy cast iron by spraying them liberally with oven cleaner and putting them in a black garbage bag in the hot sun. After a couple of days most gunkwill brush right off. Wear goggle and gloves and wash really well afterwards then immediately start the reasoning process.

Darn spell check won't catch that.

Well, you kinda have to use a "reasoning process" to figure out what to do next.
Feel better? ;)
