Cleaning the cooking grate

[Mudkap]

Just curious how most clean the cooking grate either before or after smoking? Do you spray on the Traeger cleaner, scrape cold, burn off at hight temp, other? Just looking for a good consistent way. Thanks

I use a "Grill Grubber" abrasive pad on a stick, dipped in water, on the hot grill right away. This keeps the grates clean between cooks.

I don't try to burn off, wastes fuel and carbonizes stuff on the grates.
