Urine is a sterile substance and will certainly be burned away by the flames within a couple minutes.

I brush them with a wire brush, but I flame cook and last I checked fire kills everything.

hand them a pistol and tell them to kill themselves because the germs on the cash in their pockets is worse.

lol

the fire would totally sanitize any threatening germs

I would think the aluminum getting in your food would be a million times worse than whatever is living on the grate.

Something similar, while in college I had a resident director throw out a gigantic bowl of pancake batter (it was for a floor breakfast) because she needed just a little more water and the resident who got it for her didn't use filtered water, just tap.

People are nuts.

They are pussies.

Most "bad stuff is toasted well before 180 degrees. Usually around 160 degrees.

I know. Why don't these pussies stay home and cook on the stove?

It's not like people put herpes on those grills or anything...

..I use propane..but always burn off the crud from the last Q and then wire brush the grill. No big deal.

I've heard of using aluminum foil to clean the grill - i.e. wad it into a ball and use it to scrub the crap off the grates, but I've never heard of cooking on the foil. Kinda ridiculous since the whole point of barbecuing is letting the coals have direct access to the food.

i would've cleaned it off with a wire brush and then let the grill run

 

[Looney]

I always brush it off... but it wouldn't bother me if i couldn't do that... like you said, the heat will kill even ebola, so i'm not too worried.

How do you use foil? Do you wrap each individual grill? Or do you cover it flat?

 

[HomeBrewerDude]

bah those dudes are ahole wimps.

 

[Heisenberg]

wire brush + high heat for 15 minutes = good to go
