I tried using a pumice rock "griddle cleaner" for awhile but found that it left a kind of funky residue on the grill. Currently, I mostly use a scotchbrite griddle cleanerThey/Them

That's a good call with the larger bristles @RRP .. I bought a couple of the wire mesh variety after an article like this came out a couple years ago .. but even those break up after a while.

I use a wirebrush now, not a cheap one, however after brushing I soak a paper towel in Canola oil and wipe the grill using bbq tongs and the soaked paper towel. If there were any wires on the grill they would be cleaned off. Plus it keeps the meat from sticking.

I don't get it. Are these loose bristles clinging to the grids?

Thanks for the reminder. I think about that every time I clean mine and say....."But it won't happen to me". Gonna switch to balled up foil from now on.

Very simple - just check the grate after you brush it for loose bristles. I sure as hell am not going to do a self clean cycle every time I cook something.

Sorry for the confusion. That wasn't the suggestion. On a day-to-day basis I scrape, then scrub with a scotchbrite griddle cleaner moistened with some peanut oil. Eventually, over time, the insides, crosspieces, and undersides get crudded up to the point where occasional terminal decarbonization is needed. Self-cleaning cycle in the oven has been as effective as other things I've tried for that occasional cleaning.
