MrRalphMan Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 After our charcoal BBQ went to heaven, one of our friend gave us their old has one. Problem is it needs a deep clean. Apart from lots of elbow grease and 20 brillo pads is their any tricks to make it easier? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Fairy Power Spray, squirt that on it, leave it for about an hour and then stick it in the dish washer. Seems to remove most things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Light the 'que and leave it on there until it burns all the crap off. Failing that, buy a new rack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Light the 'que and leave it on there until it burns all the crap off. Failing that, buy a new rack. Each year I do this before using it for cooking, chuck a couple of self lighting bags in and drown them in fluid and watch your eyebrows when you light it Once its calmed down a bit get a metal BBQ brush on it, job done Works for the Chiminea as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely not bbq aftermath. I tend to go wire brush and loads of Brillo pads but I am daft like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Concentrated and hot solution of caustic soda. Don't put any aluminium alloy in it though, or let the cat have a swim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairy Power Spray is wicked stuff, almost like the anti-fairy. If left to stand long enough it seems to eat pretty much anything organic and burnt on.

monsween Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 I'd go with the above, couple of squirts with bbq fluid and light it then give it a good scrub. Jobs a good un Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
