Soak them overnight in an ammonia solution. Do it outside and put them in a
plastic trash bag. Mine come out like brand new. Most times, I just brush
them anyway. No reason to get too anal about cleaning them. Nothing will
live at grilling temperatures.

Thanks Edwin, I'll give that a try.
I wire brushed the old charbroil grates and when they got too grungy I just
bought new ones as they were quite cheap compared to Webers. RM~

Grilling gets to 700+° as does a selfcleaning oven. WTF is the difference.
I've cleaned my grill grates in my oven, but it smoked the house up pretty
bad. I endorse Ed P's philosophy. Brush off the big chunks and forget the
rest.

I wouldn't be surprised if the reason is that Weber had 4 people complain
about their grates after running them through a self-cleaning cycle. So
Weber sent out new grates and started telling people "don't do that" - even
if 99.9% of the people that do clean the grates in the oven never have a
problem.

To clean, coat the grates in a paste of baking soda and water and let
sit overnight. Scrub. Sometimes a repeated application is needed, but it
works just fine and is safe.

I put a high-temp oil, such as safflower, into a regular spray bottle
and use that for oiling grates on the grill and in the smoker.

You probably just hit the nail on the head. The porcelain on the grate looks
just like the interior of a gas or elect range. RM~

That's interesting, If I don't locate the Pam for grilling I'll probably
give that a whirl. We have one of those Cuisinart elect grill/press gizmos
that we use for steaks indoors and we just spray it with the regular Pam and
it cleans right off just by holding it under the faucet. It sure would be
nice if I could clean the Weber that way. RM~

There's always the oven cleaner route. Spray the grates with oven cleaner
(Easy Off, etc) and leave over night. I have a friend who swears by soaking
his grates over night in a shallow pan with enough Simple Green to cover the
grates. The challenge is to find a large enough pan.

I spray them with Mr. Muscle (an oven cleaner) let them sit for 30 min.
and wash them off with hot soap and water. It is the best oven cleaner
I have ever used. Cleans baked on stuff, Pyrex dishes, burner rings
etc. I have a self cleaning oven and never use a cleaner in it. Mr.
Muscle is hard to find but I get it at Smart & Final.

Any oven cleaner (Easy-Off) does the job.

Easy-Off is also a very effective paint stripper. It stripped the

Jeez. This is going pretty far.

Has anyone found that porcelainized grates require any extra
cleaning and maintenance? I have yet to buy them and I'd like
to know.

With the cast irons, I'd never be caught dead doing anything like
this. High heat and a good brush is more than enough to do the job.

I have stainless steel grates and black steel grates. Your way is the
way I treat all of them. If the black steel grates get too clean,
they rust like a too-clean cast iron skillet. Sounds like
porcellainized are too much trouble, especially if you consider the
cost.
Sheesh!

Nope. I fire it up and get it good and hot, brass brush 'em
and cook. Eight years and still just fine. They don't
sparkle but as someone else said, nothing's going to live in
that environment.

I have porcelanized cast iron in my Vermont Castings grill. While I can
make them look like showroom new, I don't. Heat and brush them.

Does it not clog up, Saara? I've had to add vodka into mine to make
it stop clogging.

I've used them all, but my current [Kamado SS]are my favourites. I
brush them off after cooking while they are still hot[tish]. I also
wipe them down with oil just before starting the next cook. My 10
year-old [maybe 9 year old] K3 unit does just fine.

I use a spray bottle similar to this one

http://tinyurl.com/ohfb4

Instead of "pumping" with one's finger as one sprays, this style has an
aerosol-type nozzle, and one pressurizes the bottle by pumping the cap a
few times.

I use olive oil, and have never had a clog. (Can't recall which kitchen
supply specialty catalog I got mine from ["Cooks something or 'nother"],
but it's clear, a bit smaller and was a few bucks cheaper than the one
above at W-S).

Altho', the aerosol cans one buys in the supermarket that use propane as
a propellent are kinda fun to use on the grill <g>.

I tried a similar one (Misto brand) of those and it wouldn't spray a mist
with oil in it. All I could get was a stream like you would expect from a
fire hose. Will yours spray a mist of oil? If so I'm off to WS. RM~

PS, I even tried on of those spray cans that Harbor Freight has ($9.95) that
you air up with a air compressor and got the same stream that you could
fight
a fire with. It even had several nozzles.

I responded yesterday, but don't see my post. Might be a good thing
since I goofed and included a pic. :/

Anyway, I just use a standard trigger spray bottle. I gave up on those
fancy oil misters since they do always clog up and don't spray a mist.

If this is a repeat, just pat me on the head and ignore me.

Yeah, Bob - it's time for our first [soft] frost. We have literally
received a month's worth of rain over the past few days and it's been
7c out there. Banff & Jasper are receiving snow as we speak. We are
expected to be back in the 20ies next week.

We have been looking to relocate to Nanaimo [Vancouver Island], USDA
Zone 7, because this is getting a little lame, eh.

"Like a firehose"? Oh, baby, you're pumping it up TOO MUCH! <g>

I know what you mean- mine will do that occassionally and I've found
it's usually a matter of too much oil in the unit (thus, not enough air
space- mine says only to fill it half way) or not enough OR too much
pressure (yeah, kinda annoying).

I just sprayed mine to double check, and it definitely a spray. But
even when it's a stream, it's a strong stream and I just move it around
quickly. Maybe vicosity of the oil (I use olive oil) has something to
do with it, as well?

Again, I DON'T have the W-S and mine has absolutely NO writing/branding
on it, save for the "Half Full Only" sticker. I looked around for a
catalog, but it was bought on-line for Christmas a coupla years back.
Sort of like a baby brother to this one-
http://www.kitchenemporium.com/cgi-b.../49fl0183.html
(or maybe that a real tiny person using it <g>) my bottle is only 4"
high, the cap adds another 2 1/2". The spray on my, admittedly, is
nowhere near the "mist" in that illustration.

I've used the Mr. Misto and the no-name brand carried by different
health food stores. No joy. They'd spray for a while, then they'd
stream which was OK, but not what I wanted.

When my sprayer wore out, I borrowed one from a friend and it worked
GREAT! Hers was from Pampered Chef. It sprays nicely, and has kept on
doing so. She got hers at a garage sale. I had to buy one from a
pampered chef dealer. You can find 'em on-line at their web site.

Mine is also a MISTO and it sprays just fine with canola in it. I haven't
tried it with olive oil, but probably will.

I actually picked up the W-S device today. And it Works!! like
Hot-Damn!!

Cost me $25 locally; my other choice $16.50 + $6.50 shipping all in
US$ [not a big deal now, but still a 10% diff] + whatever the Feds
would tack on when came In-Country. I cracked for Instant the
gratification and the twenty five beans.

even when it's a stream, it's a strong stream and I just move it around
quickly. Maybe vicosity of the oil (I use olive oil) has something to
do with it, as well?<<<

I used olive oil, tried 1 pump and a buncha pumps. Half full and a quarter
full and still get a stream, same with the Harbor Freight sprayer.
Guess it probably is the viscosity of the oil. Wonder which is the lighter,
cheap oil or expensive oil?
Thanks for the input, RM~

GREAT! Hers was from Pampered Chef. It sprays nicely, and has kept on
doing so. She got hers at a garage sale. I had to buy one from a
pampered chef dealer. You can find 'em on-line at their web site.<<<

That's interesting. I'm thinking my daughter inlaw has had some of those PC
parties in the past, maybe she will have another one. RM~

Olive oil is all have tried so far and probably not a good choice for
grilling as it burns at a lower temp. I'll give the canola a try. I'll try
it in the Mistro and the Harbor Freight can also as it has several different
size jets.

Thanks, RM~

We have a WS not far from the house so if some different oils don't work in
the sprayers that I have I'll go get one. I would really like to see that
one I picked up from harbor freight work. Thanks, RM~
