    My smoker has expanded metal grates and I just pressure wash without soap. The Weber kettle grates are usually a job for SOS pads, depending on how dirty they get.

      Best way that I have seen is when cooking pizza. Pretty much like setting an electric oven in the cleaning mode.

      Sometimes I throw the kettle grate on the gasser, heat it up high, put on the welding gloves and use the brush. Other times water and brillo pad on the truck tailgate. Used to goto town with the brush on the SS grates on the gasser, but now GrillGrates live on top of them. Had no fear using the drill and wire brush on the gasser's SS grates, though.

      After 1st year owning GrillGrates, got GrillGrates cleaning kit. Like the brush, groover pad, and grill wipes. Will keep using grill wipes as I do most cooking on the griddle side of the GG's. Great products!

        On the black kettle, we get the grate hot and then scrape it. Will probably do similar with the Blue when I have it up and running.

          Definitely not with a metal brush! http://www.littlethings.com/bbq-brus...ampaign=health! Lately I've been using one of the wooden scrapers and one of the metal bars with a notch in the end (I forget what the brand names are).

          If you have a Weber Kettle, you need the Slow 'N' Sear

          slow n sear
          The Slow 'N' Sear turns your grill into a first class smoker and also creates an extremely hot sear zone you can use to create steakhouse steaks.

          The Good-One Is A Superb Grill And A Superb Smoker All In One

          the good one grill
          The Good-One Open Range is dramatically different from a traditional offset smoker. By placing the heat source behind and under the smokebox instead of off to the side, Open Range produces even temperature from left to right, something almost impossible to achieve with a standard barrel shaped offset.

          Griddle And Deep Fryer In One

          Pit Barrel Cooker Smoker
          The flat top does the burgers and the fryer does the fries. Use the griddle for bacon, eggs, and home fries. Or pancakes, fajitas, grilled cheese, you name it. Why stink up the house deep frying and spatter all over? Do your fried chicken and calamari outside. Blackstone's Rangetop Combo With Deep Fryer does it all!

          The Pit Barrel Cooker May Be Too Easy

          Pit Barrel Cooker Smoker
          The PBC has a rabid cult following for good reason. It is absolutely positively without a doubt the best bargain on a smoker in the world. Period. This baby will cook circles around the cheap offset sideways barrel smokers because temperature control is so much easier.

          Our Favorite Backyard Smoker

          kareubequ bbq smoker

          The amazing Karubecue is the most innovative smoker in the world. The quality of meat from this machine is astonishing. At its crux is a patented firebox that burns logs above the cooking chamber and sucks heat and extremely clean blue smoke into the thermostat controlled oven. It is our favorite smoker, period.

          NK-22-Ck Grill
          Napoleon's NK22CK-C Charcoal Kettle Grill puts a few spins on the familiar kettle design. In fact, the hinged lid with a handle on the front, spins in a rotary motion 180 degrees. It's hard to beat a Weber kettle, but Napoleon holds its own and adds some unique features to make the NK22CK-C a viable alternative.
