Ribs on the Traeger

[Burgersb]

Last week I cook ribs on the Traeger and they were great I was wondering how to clean the grates when they are cold

I pull mine out and spray them with an Orange Citrus cleaner and rinse. It's always better to first scrape them when hot/warm with a non-metallic scraper. This one works great and won't leave metal shavings or bristles in your food.

You can use this when the grill is still hot?

I do when it's warm, but not hot.

I use aluminum foil to scrape the grates. Ball up a piece and away you go. Easier when it's hot. lol

I use the Traeger wooden scraper while the grill is cold. Sometimes when it heats up I use tongs and a wet paper towel.

Here a few other ideas:

SMOKED DRY RUBBED BABY BACK RIBS RECIPE FROM TRAEGER SITE.
Tried this recipe twice.The first time I tried it they came out burnt waited to long to check them.The recipe says 250 for 3.5 hrs to 4.5 hrs.took them off turned up the temp to 375 sauced them and put back on 8 min per side.It was a disaster.The second time I tried
I checked them after 2.5 hrs temp was 185 waited half hour took them off and sauced them then threw them on a preheated 400 degree charcoal grill 5min a side came out perfect.

Just got a $30 steam jet cleaner from Amazon. Hoping that will blast the grease off my grates. Will give it a try soon
