that is why the suggest you HOSE off the grate before cooking on it after you clean it!

SOS pads do the same thing...

That is so scary. Our grill has parts that come off to clean. I have even put them in the dishwasher. We do have a brush, but it never gets used. My DH uses a ball of aluminum foil. It works great for cleaning most any grill, better then a brush.

OMG!!! That made me gag. UGH. I'm glad he's on the mend. Owie owie owie.

I was considering getting a wire brush for our grill, but no way am I doing that now. I'll just continue washing it in the sink with steel wool and following up with a cloth. Thank you for the warning!
