IMO Charcoal cooking taste way better than propane. But I agree with every other point.PointsHubby wrote: ↑ Charcoal = Big Box Stores

Got my first propane BBQ Grill in the early 1980s
NEVER would I go back to charcoal
EVERYTHING about propane is better
Including the costs, time it takes to cook, control over heat, taste of the food etc
These days I buy my propane at Costco
Cheapest place in Canada
Costs about $ 10 for a fill up vs $ 20 - $ 35 elsewhere

Lol, thanks for the chuckle
Clean them after each use with Cedar and finish with a damp cloth. All done while the grill is still warm.redflagjj wrote: ↑ How do u guys clean your grill grates?
Just got a weber with enamel cast iron grates
Stainless steel brush will leave wires and is dangerous (have a kid dont want to risk)
Cedar wood doesnt clean that well
Stone leaves a mess will also leave stuff on the grates
Tinfoil doesnt clean that well
Can someone help? Dont know what to do
Thanks!

We gave up on the wire brush a few years ago ...
when a strand / needle showed up in SO’s steak
These things are truly dangerous
Can see where people have been seriously injured / died
We now use a wooden scraper
Once you get the hang of it
It works very well
Also of note ... there’s another RFD thread going on annual deep cleaning too
Worth a look

I think the brush that is problematic is the plastic handled ones with wire bristles. If you use those on a hot grill the plastic can melt a bit and release the bristles. I use the Triangle grill brush to clean stuff and then wipe it down with a rag to get black burnt grease off and then oil grates with greased paper towel - the rag and paper towel will knock off anything if anything ever got released.
It is low risk so point taken. I actually thought they stopped making them but apparently not.gr8dlr wrote: ↑ I think the brush that is problematic is the plastic handled ones with wire bristles.

Considering the number of times ppl grill, the probability of a wire bristle coming off and it getting into your food is extremely low risk IMO. You cannot eliminate all risks, so I don't believe fearing a wire brush is justified. Like anything there's some caution that must be exercised.
