Hello,

I'm brand new to this forum having just joined about fifteen minutes
ago.

I hope everyone is having the beautiful weather we are having in
Southeast Missouri today, and have also spent some time paying
respects to your family members who have assumed room temperature in
order to be sure that America would be safe for us to barbecue today
and any other day we want.


I went out on the front porch to fire up the grill and when I took the
lid off, the first thing I saw was the dirty metal part that hadn't
been cleaned since last year.

I was instantly tired at the idea of having to clean that thing. I
don't mind cooking on it as it is because I know that the heat will
kill anything that has been living there.

Some of my guests are Martha Stewart types. They are so finicky that
every little microscopic piece of dirt causes them to go crazy.

So I was thinking to myself that someone must have invented something
by now that I can lay over the metal grates and still barbecue. That
way when I finish the grates are still clean, and I can throw away the
temporary stuff that I placed the food on.

Is there any such a critter around?

Yes, new grates. Foil on top will create problems.

Crank up the heat, wire brush them and start cooking. Anyone objecting can
run down to the local take-out.

Thanks,

Since I posted this a couple of hours ago I drove out to Walmart,
Sams, and Lowes.

I found a new 22.5 inch Weber grate for only $19.97. So I bought it.

Then I found a Char-Broil stainless steel grill topper. It has many
round holes in it. I can put the food on it and cook it that way. I
guess that will stop the meat from sticking to the grill. Afterwards,
I should have a much simpler task of cleaning the big grate.

Does the Grill topper do a good job? Or is it better to cook on the
grate, and clean it as soon as I finish cooking while things are soft?

I was also told that if I use de-Greaser on the grate it will be much
easier to clean.

Ok, I've got the 100 pounds of chitlins and hog malls cooking away. I
made a sauce with Sangria wine to pour over them along with wild rice,
black eyed peas, and collard greens. I'll throw in a few bottles of
Sangria and Cabernet Sauvignon when we sit down to eat. That should do
the trick.


Peace

Just one of those things that make you go hummmm.


Who deserves to be impeached and imprisoned the most?
A president receiving face from an adult willing female?

Or a president who lies to over four billion people
worldwide and then orders the attack and destruction
of hundreds of thousands of innocents, 1,600 American
GI'S killed and over 25,000 permanently disfigured?

If you spray the grate with Pam it clean easier. Same with the grill
topper. They are designed for small things that would otherwise fall between
the wires. They may stick a bit as there is more surface area, but they do
work.

The Home Depot near my house stocks just such an item as you
describe. It's thin aluminum, corrugated with some holes punched in
it. A pair of cheap tin snips will cut them to whatever size you might
want. They're real pretty when they're new.

I bought a package of Reynolds Grill Friends that sound like what you
are looking for. These are extra heavy duty foil sheets with a slotted
design that stops food from falling thtough the BBQ grill. They claim
to keep your grill surface clean.

no need to cover your grill, just light your fire and place the grate
over the flames. let all the built up stuff burn for fifteen minutes and
scrape with a wire brush. then take a wet paper towel and wipe your
grate, that's it you now have a clean grate. happy cooking!
