You need a stiff wire brush. Not a flimsy one—the kind that feels like it could scrub a sidewalk. Or better yet, use a ball of aluminum foil on tongs. It’s cheap, easy, and surprisingly effective. Also, grab a bucket of warm water. And don’t forget dish soap. But not too much—you don’t want soap-flavored chicken.
Step two: Scrub while it’s hot
After the burn-off, the grates are still warm. That’s the sweet spot. Dip your brush in water. Scrub in long, firm strokes. The ash and grime will flake off like snow. If you wait until it’s cold, you’ll need a jackhammer. Trust me.
