    Did not know you worked at our local hospital. 

    I'm a B club guy, and it is a grid, the grate never need maintenance as it holds the lump. Stike set me straight on it. I'm still shaking.

    Well if you are going to get caught at something, this is prolly about as insignificant as you can get - unless the guy doing the catching is Stike. (I still miss his snarl)

    I couldn't hang out with anyone who spent more than 3 seconds cleaning their grates. 

    Travis method for cleaning grates:

    1. Quickly knock off chunks with grid lifter. 

    2. Cook food. 

    3. Drink drinks. 
    4. Do the things.
    The things, oh the wonderful things...

    I have a big laundry room tub next to the patio.  I soak it in some soap and water while the rig is heating up and clean it with a plastic scrubbing pad.  On my gas grill, I just crank up the heat when starting, let it burn off the crud, and hit it with a wire brush.  I think I do this differently, because I generally add wood after the VOC's have burned off, so that I would generally leave the grill off when egg is heating up.

    B - I usually scrub a little if there was a sweet sauce used for the previous cook or any chunks stuck to the grid. But I don't clean them too much. Patina counts for something!

    Always hit it a tad with the brush then use Pam to oil it up a bit.
