Hello
Cleaning BBQ greasy grill grates is alway a hassle! Just touching them leaves grease all over your hands!! First I always get the big stuff off with a grill brush.
Therefore there is a way to clean BBQ grill grates like they cleaned the Statue of Liberty with Bicarbonate Soda!! It actually seems to work very well!!
This larger 40lb HF soda blaster has a range of 35-90 PSI so I set the Soda Blaster at 60 PSI using High Flow couplers.

Got a 50 lb bag of Arm & Hammer Armex Soda Medium Grade for $49.99 from Harbor Freighters

It was so humid today! Luckily I switched on the Desiccant air dryer to keep the nozzle from clogging! Soda blasting is gentle on the parts but does clog the nozzle easily if there is not enough CFM and the air has to be cool!
Anyway, it does work well if your air compressor is from 15 to 25 CFM minimum!!
