Pro tip: Use lemon dish soap to clean your grill grates way faster
I was at a BBQ last July at my buddy's place in Austin and he pulled out a bottle of lemon Dawn to clean the grates after we finished cooking. He just squirted it on the hot grates, let it sit for 5 minutes, then scrubbed with a brush. The grease came off in like 2 minutes flat compared to the 15 minutes I usually spend with regular soap and a scraper. I tried it myself last weekend on my propane grill and it worked just as well. Has anyone else tried using citrus based dish soaps for tough outdoor cooking messes?

Oh man, you just reminded me of something that happened at my sister's place a couple years back. She tried that lemon dish soap trick on her smoker grates and ended up with this weird foam volcano situation because the grates were way too hot. Took her forever to clean up the mess. I've actually been using a baking soda paste for my charcoal grill grates lately, just mix it with a little water and scrub while they're still warm. It doesn't suds up like dish soap but it cuts through the baked on stuff pretty decent. Your mileage may vary on that one though.

Baking soda paste is the real MVP, that stuff works wonders on stuck on grime.
