How to quickly clean a barbecue grate with a drill?

  • Dec 10, 2020

I greet you, dear readers, guests and subscribers of my channel!

If there was a stormy party and you did not have time to clean the grate immediately after cooking food on it, and besides it lay with you... for days / months with solidified fat and covered with dust - it's still not trouble!!! I haven’t tried many options for cleaning the grate, but this is the fastest mechanical method and takes only 10 to 15 minutes!

Put logs, light up the grill and while the wood is burning you will have time to clean the grate pretty well!

You will need to purchase a nozzle in advance (if you still do not have it !!!) for an angle grinder (angle grinder, in common people - a Bulgarian) or for a drill - a wire brush of any configuration, so that it is convenient to crawl into the cells lattice. This price varies from 40 to 100 rubles.

Further, the grate can either be burned on a flaming flame or charcoal, or soaked for 3-5 minutes under a water tap or dipped in any container with water.

We clamp the brush into a drill / screwdriver chuck or press it with a nut on the grinder seat, fix the grill in some way, I usually do this on any hemp or low stool, pressing with your foot... You can attract a friend, after all, you will have a feast together)))

Then we pass the soaked or burnt grate from all sides (inside + outside) with a rotating brush on medium speed, since at low speed it is slow, and high speed knocks out the grille from the fixed provisions!

Carefully, bending around all the bulges and concavities of the charred product, we slowly lead the power tool! One pass is usually sufficient until a gloss appears. 5-7 minutes and you're done! Now you can remove the nozzle and put it away until better times!!! )))

For me, mechanical cleaning is still better than using various liquid chemicals!

Of course, you cannot bring it to its original state as it can be done with Pepsi-Cola or forfeits, but it is cleaned pretty well.

Just in case, after using the brush, visually inspect the grill so that there is no stuck wire from the brush in the connection of the metal bars!

Bon appetite!!!
