...any suggestions on how to get it clean once it looks really nasty?
-
A good de-greaser and Bar Keepers Friend.. Add Elbow Grease - large quantities.

You should contact pmillen. He has been thru this and may very well chime in.

Yes, I haven't tried it on my PG500 (it needs it) but I used it on a stainless steel stick burner. It worked great with very little rubbing. But, those stains were lighter than those that ran out at the base of my PG's doors.
I'll probably try it on the PG when the winter weather breaks.

Thanks, gang and pmillen. I am going to try it. I may actually get a cover just to hide the mess. The door is a problem.

Yes I have some of this. It works great on my Cookshack units.

Barkeepers Friend powder works great on stainless - cleaned up pretty good stains on the Memphis. The Traeger all natural cleaner is pretty good too. The barkeepers friend liquid was nothing in comparison to the powder with a wet sponge, especially the blue scotch brites.

Do an Internet search. I'm not a Sams Club member but bought it on line from another site.

I'm not a Sam's Club member either (Costco gets enough of my wallet), but people thinking about using this might want to go to the Sam's Club link and then down to the View Safety Data Sheet - especially if you have little ones around.
Maybe I'm just a worry wart...........

My understanding is that you definitely want to be wearing gloves when you use this.

Most definitely.
In looking at both the Bar Keeper's and Member's Mark Safety Data Sheets:
Barkeeper's Friend says "Causes mild skin irritation and serious eye irritation".
Member's Mark says "Causes severe skin burns and eye damage".
Moving from irritation up to severe damage is a big step.
-
This is the same warning as many oven cleaners. I'm sure its like this for gas, bleach, and other products we have in our homes.
-
Pretty sure that is true, but with three grandkids 5 and under here the majority of the time, I'll go for the Bar Keeper's and extra elbow grease.
And I've had gasoline and bleach spilled on my skin more that a few times without any serious damage.
Maybe the Maker's Mark SDS is too conservative, but I'll avoid it.
-
Clearly I'm not trying to say you shouldn't worry about the warnings of cleaners. Especially when one says mild vs. serious. You should use whatever works for you.
-
Sorry no pics gang but the Makers Mark definitely made it better. I think I will need to do it a couple of times to get it nice. But you have to make sure and use good gloves. I had a hole in one of the gloves and there was a fairly painful burn on my skin there.

Just ordered 12oz can powder of Barkeeper's Friends. For $7.79 and free mailing. My RT 590 needs a little external cleanup. Not worried about the inside (discoloration is no problem), I just keep it clean with occ. scrub down with old rags and soapy water. See no sense in restoration to new on inside. Powder is said not to be abrasive but will go with the grain anyhow. Thanks for the head's up. :clap:

What I do with my Memphis (all stainless steel) is to spray the areas such as the top, hopper lid etc, the ones that always get slightly dirty, with a light misting of full strength Simple Green. Then wipe using one
piece of a paper towel. That keeps it amazingly clean. Good enough to last until it's time to perform my yearly clean up where everything, inside + out gets cleaned. To make this work I had to start with a clean
pit and Simple Green it after every use. I found if I didn't do it this way the build up became amazingly hard to remove.
