Once you try this simple trick for removing caked-on food and grease from your gas grill, you’ll never dread this chore again.
You Will Need
- Heavy-duty aluminum foil
- A grill brush
- Nonstick cooking spray
Step 1: Scrape with foil
Immediately after you’re finished cooking, make a ball of aluminum foil and scrub the still-warm grill rack surface with it, taking care not to burn your fingers.
Step 2: Lay down foil
Place a piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil across the grill, close the lid, and turn the heat on high.
Step 3: Heat
Let the grill heat for about 15 minutes.
Step 4: Scrape
Using a grill brush, scrape off the remaining food bits, which have been loosened by the heat.
For an even easier clean up, put a long piece of foil under the rack and wrap the ends up and over the top of the grill before heating. Then when it’s cool, peel back the top layer of foil and use the grill brush to scrape the food particles directly onto the foil underneath.
Step 5: Spray
Make future cleanups even easier by spraying the grill with a nonstick cooking spray while it’s still off.

Not exactly the most frugal way to clean considering the current economic climate. 15 mins of gas when 2 mins of elbow grease would achieve the required result. The foil underneath to catch the crud was a good tip though.
Hmm, maybe we need a ";How To Clean a Gas Grill With Unlimited Budget"; competition!

This works very well.
Sadly, it can also damage your grill. The extreme heat warped my cast aluminum CharBroil. I was able to repair it with some threaded rods and nuts. This was definitely caused by this cleaning method.
Later the Gas Valves gave out. Maybe they were just worn out, but I wonder if the intense heat killed them.
