While each tip can mostly stand alone, it is best to read them all and incorporate them into an overall assault on the grill. Be sure to have your assault well fortified with your favorite beverage! Today's tip is: Cleaning Your Grill

If you have heard a word we've said, then you've had a great summer cooking outdoors on the grill and smoker. You've cooked chicken, ribs, pork butts, brisket, shrimp, salmon and a million other great things. Many may want to take a moment to clean the grill before moving into the fall barbecue'n season. Smoky says that a good way to clean your grill is not to have made it dirty in the first place. However, short of that, here is his recommended manner of cleaning the equipment. You can paint it with a paste of Tri-sodium Phosphate (washing soda). Wear gloves and eye protection -- this is very corrosive. Wet down the grill, paint this on, close the grill and keep it cool while the stuff works. Then scrub it down, rinse well then spritz the inside with 1 Tbs. of white vinegar to 1 Qt. of water to neutralize the alkaline condition.
