Cleaning the Bisquette Burner Surface

[aha638]

Does anyone have a sure-fire way of cleaning the bisquette burner surface?

I just use a paint scraper ie. putty knife. Then hit the corners and top lip with a small wire brush.

Razor blade works nice too.If ya have the bubba pucks they do a nice job sitting on the hot plate.And most residue is burnt off nicely. ;)

I use a paint scraper but by using bubba pucks it keeps the heater plate a lot cleaner in the first case, combination of the two makes it easy. ;)

Dosen't EVERYONE use Bubba Pucks Manx? Ha! Ha! ;D I just figured that was a given. :D Just kidding. Good point guys.

wire brush for me.

also, I hit the smoke gen with compressed air every few smokes to get rid of sawdust.

I bet Kirk wishes everyone did use them Iceman......$$$$$!!! They are not even on sale this side of the pond although BS sales in Europe must only account for a small percentage of the total sales.

They are only available from Chez Bubba are'nt they? ;)

WTF is spot on re advise on compressed air.

Using Bubba Pucks does cut down on the cleaning. I use one of those scraper you use to remove your car registration and inspections stickers, and occasionally a wire brush.

Manx, if you need Bubba Pucks let me know and I'll get some to you. Chez is the source of course.

That's very kind of you Iceman but I already have some, Chez was kind enough to send three to me here in the UK along with a Maverick ET-73 neither of which are available on this side of the pond. I don't think I was the first he has mailed them to over here either.

Thanks for the thought anyway.  :)

I use my dremel with a little wire brush wheel...works great ;D

Dremel tool here too. You can see the razor blade marks from before I started using the Dremel.

Takes about 5 seconds.

Does it need to be down to shiny metal clean??  I have been using a wire brush and air compressor, it still looks a little discolored but no layer or chunks.  Also i find that a pressure sprayer works great to clean the racks, v pan and drip pan after cooking! ;D

We'll have to let the more experienced users chime in. I'm guessing no. I think a good scraping with a wire brush should be good enough.

Robs  that is what I think too, but thought since the subject was brought up, I figured I would ask to be sure.
