Scrubbing Up In a Pinch

Ever find yourself with company coming over and you need to clean the grill but you’re left with out a grill brush?!

Here’s an easy trick: Grab a wad of all American aluminum foil. It’s the pit master’s duct tape!

Crunch it up in a ball and utilize a pair of long handled tongs. Voilà! Instant scrubber. It’s not quite as good as a wire brush but it is more disposable! Follow up the scrub by wiping down the grate with a folded and oil-soaked paper towel to remove any additional residue and to additionally season the grill.
