Keeping my grill in top condition ensures my grilling is always a hit. I have a Char-Griller Smokin Champ, a combination smoker, and a charcoal grill.Over time, grease, charred bits, and food residue can build up, affecting the food's taste and the grill's performance.
I have discovered that Easy-Off oven cleaner is not only for cleaning your oven but also very effective in cleaning my grill.
Easy-Off is known for its ability to break down stubborn grease and grime. It's specifically designed for tough kitchen jobs, making it perfect for cleaning grills.
Safety First: Here is What You'll Need
Make sure you follow all the safety instructions on the can.
- Easy-Off oven cleaner (I use the Heavy Duty version)
- Rubber gloves to protect your hands
- A sponge or grill brush ( I use a Scrub Daddy)
- A bucket of warm water for rinsing
- Paper towels of cloth
After spraying the Easy-Off Heavy Duty I let it set for about an hour. Then, I use the scrub daddy and warm water to wipe out the grease. After I have all of the grease cleaned out I use the paper towels to wipe it dry. There is no doubt about it, this is a messy job but, the results are satisfying and it works well.This was my cooking chamber in my grill before I cleaned it with Easy-Off oven cleaner.
Here is my cooking chamber after I cleaned it.
After cleaning, I wiped the cooking chamber and grill grates with cooking oil and added a chimney full of hot charcoal. I closed the lid to let the temperature rise to 500 degrees.
Then, let the grill cool naturally. This process is to reseason the grill, and the grates to prevent rust. I do this because the grates are cast iron and the cooking chamber is all metal.
