Guess I'm a low-class southern mountain hillbilly (no offense to Hillbilly's)
I clean out the sludge with a scraper and an occasional rinse from a pressure washer, and that's it. The grate either gets a wire brush or a self cleaning oven. No cleaners whatsoever.
There is nothing worse than the lingering taste of oven cleaner or soap that simply cannot be rinsed completely out. There are people that have lost BBQ competitions because they or someone else once used charcoal starter fluid, and once its there, its there. Its a BBQ, not an oven.
But I'm also the one that breaks in a new BBQ with the greasiest low grade meat I can find on the 1st cook for a little extra smoke.
