do you have to wash the grate w/water after using the cleaning stone? I need something to use on grates after my grill has sat the whole winter. thanks

No... After I use it, the residue is light, powdery, and paper-based. I just use a regular grill brush to brush it away.

Not sure I would use it on a grate, they are pretty soft and well pretty much go away. I'd use a wire type brush or scouring pad. But the stone is the ONLY way to clean a griddle. I see in the picture they are cleaning a grate so this is just my opinion.

Not really. The grillstone is dry and sometimes leaves dust on the grill as it breaks down when you use it. I usually just wipe with a dry paper towel. These things will make your grill shiny again. I use them between each grilling and I've had my original grill for over 10 years.

My GrillStone came as a kit with a handle and a cloth rag. I usually clean it with a wire brush after using the GrillStone and then wipe it off with the rag. This also removes any rust that may have built up.

You will get a white powdery film on the grates and I just go back over it with wire brush to clean off the powdery film and I'm good to go.

Easy. I spray grate with no-stick spray before grilling. After using grill I put the grate in the sink and soak for a few minutes in hot, soapy water. So far it has cleaned up real well and real easy.

I used hot soapy water and sprayed it first too so it wasn't too bad. Used a sponge with one side a scrubbing pad and other side sponge. For tough spots I used the scrubbing pad. It's like any other type grate like my grill. Paint has not chipped off but only used it a couple times but plan to use a lot this year. I loved it.

I have used same grills for years. Spray with Non-Stick oil, prior to use. Clean with ammonia and water.Never use abrasive sponge/pad.

No. I use it on the grill before I heat it. I also find it works better if the stone and grill are dry. It really works well. It is also great for cleaning the gross build up on the bottom of old pots and pans.

Clean the grill while it is still hot with water and soap. Rub rub rub and done. It will clean easily.

The best way i know how is to clean them with dish liquid (wash) let dry, put them on your grill and put a whole pack of bacon on them and cook till done. do not scrub them just drain the grease from you grill and you good to go! you could also just clean then coat them grates with cooking oil and cook on low that will look too.

We clean the the grates with a damp dish washing cloth. If it ever needed serious scrubbing, I would use a scouring pad sold for a barbeque grate and rinse with water. 'Mom' may have been worried about rust in a cast iron skillet or depleting the conditioning oil in the skillet. I sometimes use water in my cast iron skillet if it is seriously messy, but it rusts a bit if it is not dried out after cleaning. It takes a touch more oil to use the skillet the next time.

To clean you just pour water on it while hot (or heat it up and pour on water) use a scraper with hot water.Not sure what you mean by all-in-one grill?

This brush is only for the Grates you cook on. If your Grates are stainless or non stick finish...Then NO don't use this wire brush. This brush works well for my cast iron grates and would be great for very used older grates that need a good scrubbing after each use to get the carbon and food stuff of the grates. I Grill/BBQ all the time so my grates need scrubbing after every use.

Mine stone did not have any scent other than expected of stone. I suggest putting it on the grill at 400 - 500 degrees for 30 mins . All stones need to be seasoned. The scent and residue should go away. Try cooking a small bread on it to see if the smell is indeed gone or absorbs into the bread, if so call the manufacture.

Hi, I bought the ones that are for the grill and it cleaned them great! Of course you may have to scrub a little bit, but it works great.

I have cleaned mine after every 8-10 grills or so...depends on what I am grilling. They scrape off pretty easy with a stiff metal brush. The drip pan I clean after I clean off the flavorizer bars. I also scrape the bottoms of the cast iron cooking grates as part of my cleaning routine as well.

I use it on my iron grill grates and scrub with a Fuller Stainless Steel scrub . . .they come out looking new.

Yes, warm(not too warm) soapy water can be used to wash the stone. No smell of the stone bleeds onto food cooked on the stone.

you must be using it incorrectly. I've used it a hell of a lot more and it works very well. Just remember to fill with water and turn the flow valve prior too trying to attempting the clean the grates.

There are a couple of things you can do. First remove the grate and wash it (either dishwasher or by hand). You should now be able to wipe out the lower part of the grill with hot soapy water. Before replacing the grill, turn on the burner to burn off any materials that landed on the burner. Over time, you'll end up with materials in the grill that are pretty difficult to remove, but they kind of turn to char over time...adding to the flavors!
