How can I get the grill portion of my barbecue grill clean of all that black stuff on there?

Question

The build up is pretty bad. What do I use easy-off? Pressure washer? I want it to look like new.

Answer 1

Place your grill in a large heavy duty garbage bag and put in about a cup or so of household ammonia. Seal the bag and place it somewhere warm (in the sun works well) let it sit for a day or two and the stuff will rinse right off with minimal scrubbing.

Answer 2

If the black stuff is burnt-on food that is easy. Get the barbecue hot, turn it off, and spray on oven cleaner (like Easy-Off brand). Then let it cool down and wipe it off with a damp sponge just like you would do for an oven.

If the stuff is rust and corrosion because the chrome plating is burnt off all you can do is clean the grills up with a Brillo pad so it looks better till you get around to replacing the grills.

Answer 3

to clean your barbecue would take some heavy scrubbing ,but the thing you want to do is leave the black stuff that's how a BBQ gets its best flavor. before cooking, turn BBQ on high for a few minutes then use the wire brush to remove the top layer of the previous BBQ, cook food and repeat. trust me .

Answer 4

you should use a wire brush, a pressure washer may help as well, but it is unlikely that you will be able to make it look like new. if it is realy coroding you may want to get a new one at a grill store

Answer 5

I think you've answered you're own question. Use a heavy duty de-greaser, a scotch brite pad, and finish it up with the pressure washer.

Answer 6

an oven cleaner may work. but most good grills have replacement grills available for them.

Answer 7

I use a pumice-stome like product called grillstone, it works great!
