    @MaC122 ... cooking it off is good also.  But, after a pork butt low-n-slow, some of the butt is left attached to the grill.  If I turn up the temp to burn off the residual, I'll most likely forget to shut it down fter 15~20 minutes and the rest of the lump will go up in flames ... literally.  Can't wait for the next cook either, 'cuz it might be a low temp cook again.

    The wooden scrapper is surprisingly good at removing the big chunks ... kind of a custom formed Billy Bar.  The down side is that you need one for each grill rod diameter/spacing.  Not too bad if you've only got OEM and CGS grills. 

    The non-bristle brushes take care of the smaller stuff.  Buy the brush with removable pads and the result is a very inexpensive system.
    I find those scouring pad types brushes surprisingly effective as well. Good choice IMO Tom.

    @Jeepster47 I've closed all the vents but left the dome open twice now. I come back several hours later to all my lump burnt off. I like that GrillMarks and will have to buy one for my grill and my cast iron.

    when i'm feeling OCD... I take the grid off and clean it to brand new with an SOS pad.  I will try to do a before and after next time... though it could be a while.  After reading the above posts I think I've been shamed into never cleaning it again....
