I just bought a Char-Broil and cooked grilled chicken with a soy-based marinade. I spent 30 minutes cleaning the grill. Hopefully, there’s an easier way to do this.
I have porcelain grates and I already know the basics — copper brush while still warm — but do you have any other tips or products you can recommend?

I got a Shark steam cleaner (it looks like a little canister vac) and it works wonders on my stainless gas grill! Yeah, you still have to do some scrubbing but it’s not near the chore! I steam the heck out of a section, take the grill brush to it and keep up the cycle until it’s where I want it. You probably could take the grates in and run through the dishwasher when you get most of the goo off. Spraying the grill with a no stick veggie oil spray or wiping with oil before cooking does help with the clean up too!
I’ve tried (I swear) every BBQ grill cleaner on the market and none worked and most stunk to high heaven. The steamer does work and no toxic fumes. And you will certainly find other uses for it! I got the floor attachment with mine and use it to do all my tile/linoleum floors, clean woodwork/cabinets, countertops, windows/mirrors, bathroom fixtures.
Yes, there is. Just spray it with good old
