Awesome! Thank you for taking the time to say that!

Just another tip for anyone interested. I have a small cheap electric pressure washer that I keep near the grills. Pull the grates out and prop them up, hit them with the pressure washer, flip them over and get both sides. Maybe spray a little degreaser and let it soak first, but it's usually not necessary. You can hook up the hose and plug in the pressure washer faster than the grill can hit temperature, and no wasted pellets.

You are my main "go-to guy" when it comes to instructions on different cooks. Last night I did my first baby back ribs, and my grill started jumping from 250 up to 300, but I wrestled with it and thank goodness the ribs still came out delicious. Thanks for all the great videos you put together and I have this grill brush. Yea, yea!!!, it really does work great. I have a Recteq with the straight grill grate instead of the crosshatch, and it works terrific. It certainly takes the worst of the stuff off and I either turn the grates over or pull them off after the brush and hit em with som foam-type BBQ cleaner. Then of course rinse, but you've got me thinking, gee, why do all that every cook. Why not just turn them over like you said, brush em, and call it good. Thanks again. Marc Trainor.

Good stuff!

Great tool, I have taken the grates out and placed them in my dish washer , first giving them a scrubbing , they come out nice and clean but downside all the blackened crumbs are left at the bottom of the dishwasher. As for my Bar B Q , I saw a tip years ago , turn on all the burners and then quickly place tin foil over the grates but you need to weigh down the foil because it will float up , close the lid and let it go for about 15 minutes, after that turn off the burners , leave the lid closed and let it cool down , after removing the foil the grates only have ash on them , kind of works the same way as the clean cycle in newer ovens. Don't leave the BBQ unattended . Great video. Cheers

Looks good on your ceramic covered grates. My Pitts and Spitts grates are steel without any coating (that I am aware of). I wonder if the edges of the metal in my grates would shred this tool up and not get the same good results.

Try a small electric pressure washer . No scrubbing grates .

For years I used the bristle brushes until being made aware of the loose wire concern. I had a friend nearly die due to a surgical staple that ended up in his colon from an operation. While not exactly the same, still scary enough that I stopped using bristles right away.

Need to invest in this!

Would this work on my griddle.

I just got the Pit Boss 1150 Version 3 pellet smoker. It has all the modifications that I have seen that people have been asking over the years. I have noticed some people have put aluminum foil over the dome surface to make cleanup easier. I don't know if that is a good idea. Pit Boss people told me not to do that. How about cleaning. After 6-12 months of use cleaning the grill out every 2 cooking times is it good to use a degreaser to get rid of the build up grease inside? I also have been told to use a plastic scraper to clean the inside walls of the unit. Any other suggestions would be helpful.

@madbackyard

All good questions! No, I wouldn’t put foil directly on the flame broiler. It can adhere and be a mess to clean up. Use a wire rack over a foil lined baking sheet instead if you want easier clean up.

Lay a sheet of heavy duty aluminum foil on the length of the heat deflector before each cook. Makes any grease cleanup a breeze! Clean the ash pot and your ready again.

@madbackyard

9 ай бұрын

Just be careful doing this at higher temperatures as the aluminum foil can adhere to the flame broiler and become a real mess to clean up. It’s ok on other brands because you usually have 2 levels of heat deflection such as with z grills and Traeger, (separate flame diffuser with a drip pan above it) so they actually recommend doing this. Pit boss advises against it because their flame broiler is directly above the fire pot. So the surface temperature of the flame broiler gets much higher at similar temperatures compared to other types of pellet grills.

@madbackyard

11 ай бұрын

Good question! It’s definitely more like a soft steel wool sponge where the fibers are woven together compared to the very hard individual bristles on the conventional brushes. So to me, it seems a lot safer as the whole brush head would have to be almost falling apart for that to happen compared to a single bristle getting loose on the other one where you wouldn’t even notice. And, the head is much much softer than wire steel bristles.

Sugar is a killer to clean especially when it’s baked on at a high temperature. Hard to avoid sauces and sugar when making BBQ though! I recommend cleaning the grates as soon as possible after cooking and avoid sugary sauces and rubs if cooking above 325 degrees F. It will likely just burn the sugar you are using. Save it for the low and slow recipes.

Hi Donny, thanks for watching. This actually made me laugh, I hope you aren't 100% serious. First, I would never buy another set of these diamond crosshatch grates again for any reason whatsoever. They are a pain to clean without either using this brush or without taking them off and hosing/power washing as many others have noted in the comments. Second, they aren't 100% clean by any means when I'm done, but much better than any other brush can get them. Our latest deep cleaning video shows how to get them back to (almost) brand new. As far as the brush head, I'm not exactly sure what part of the video you are referring to, but I may have done the shot where I show how to clean the brush head before filming another part of the video. We don't always film everything in perfect chronological order due to rain, the neighbor starting his lawnmower, etc. and many other reasons. I've only ever owned one set of grates, one brush, and one brush head. It's got hundreds of positive reviews on Amazon so I'm obviously not the first person who has found it useful. Not sure I can "prove" this to you, nor do I feel the need to. You are welcome to try the brush out and see for yourself. It's not magic, it's still takes a bit of work to get the grates clean, but it works better than anything else I've tried and that's all I was trying to share. I'm not in the habit of lying to or misleading people for any reason. There's no need to. There's plenty of recipes, topics, products, and ideas to talk about without my ever feeling the need to lie or deceive people. We try to keep everything on this channel straightforward and positive and I do my best to keep it simple and accessible to people of all experience levels and that's what I will continue doing.
