Thanks everyone. Lots of good advice.

Unfortunately, Yard and Pool does not seem to ship to Canada.

[Mr Walleye]

Sure they do. I've ordered from them a number of times. Just give him a call and will look after you. Make sure you tell him to ship it USPS and not UPS. UPS is rough on the brokers fees for us Canucks.

Yeah and they are rough on the freight also. I got horror stories.

Hi Mike... I tried their website and only US addresses can be entered... so I should call?

Yes and ask for Bryan at Y&P

Like CRG said, just give Brian a call and he will fix you up and ship to Canada no problem. I think it's just his web site is restricted to the US.

Smokerville,

If you like send me a PM with what you need and your shipping address and I would be glad to give you a quote.

Clean up is really not that bad at our house.  I take off what I can of the drippings - burnt on pieces that have fallen on the pan or racks and place them in a sink of VERY hot water with Dawn dish washing soap.  If the crud on the pan etc is really bad I will add some Cascade granules in the water and swish to dissolve.  Place several dryer sheets on top of the pan and the racks - submerged in water and walk away.  By the time the water has cooled off to room temp, the baked on crud for the most part can just be easily washed off.  I get boxes of the dryer sheets at the dollar store.  I do not like using them in the dryer - but always have them on hand in the kitchen in case I have burnt on food.

Dryer sheets???? You stumped me, what purpose do they perform?

[ArnieM]

I'd like to know about the dryer sheets too. 

I just use Dawn Power Dissolver and it works well.  It also works on the inside of the glass doors on my fireplace insert.  Or any other gunk.

HMMMM  Can not tell you the scientific reason why the dryer sheets (fabric softener sheets)work - but they do.   Besides the cascade and dryer sheets - you could also put paper towels over pans etc and saturate with white vinegar -  will work too - just not as quickly  and you will still end up with the SOS pad out.    Heloise said you should use dryer sheets, so I use dryer sheets - I wonder if you could use liquid fabric softener and just add it to the hot soapy water? - HMM  too much trouble because I literally spread the sheets over the crustiest parts to soak - guess you could saturate a paper towel with it - do not know if the benefit would be the same or not. 

[SouthernSmoked]

I'll have to try the Fabric Sheets...

Currently I've been using using "Soft Scrub Total" Kitchen Cleaner.
