Try doing it after they've cooled. Scrape after food is done, then oil. Don't scrape again before grilling. That might help.

Do not scrape porcelain enameled cast iron! You also don't need to season them. And you'll likely need to preheat 10-15 minutes to get a really good sear. |

The instructions say it's okay to use a grill brush. Why is it bad?

Looks like I will be soaking these and washing by hand. |

Anything that's very abrasive can chip the enamel, so you'll have to season like its regular cast iron or it will rust. Try a wooden spoon to get off bit of carbonized food, then clean and dry. (And keep it dry.) |

I don't know if you can use this on a porcelain grill but I don't use a wire brush much anymore because of the risk of the bristles coming off and sticking to food...
These bristles can kill you stuck to chicken or something... I use these now and they work great |

I'm just relaying what the guys at the KC BBQ store told me to do. I wire brush them after cooking, then oil them. The porcelain is pretty tough. No issues in a year and a half so far. That may change in the future. I don't know.

That sorta defeats the purpose of having porcelain coated grates. The maintenance is supposed to be far easier. If I had to wash my grates after every use, I'd just get regular cast iron replacements. I don't think I've ever washed my grates. I do bring them inside to store, though. I don't keep them outside.

My understanding is you can use brass grill brushes but the stainless steel can scratch.

FMB, I think I have the same grill as you. Actually just got it this past weekend for fathers day. It uses gas to start the charcoal. Best idea ever. I dump charcoal in, push a button, and in 20 minutes, I've got hot coals ready to cook.
And yes, Silock, charcoal does give an appreciable amount of smoke flavor while grilling. Just because you cant see it, doesn't mean it isn't there. |

If you say so. I haven't seen any proof that this is true.

Do you guys, after removing the food, crank the temperature back up to get rid of the stuff on the grates? I've never done that. I just fire up the grill to maximum before cooking, brush the grate, let it run at maximum for another few minutes and then lower to whatever temperature I need.
Re-cranking just seems redundant and a waste of gas.
