I have 2 kettles and a smokefire. They are messy and I want to clean them. What is your favorite degreaser or deuglier you like to use?

Thanks
Jason
 
Simple Green and a razor blade.
Let the Simple Green soak in scrape it with the razor then finish it off with soap, water and a Scotch pad or 00 steel wool.
 
Greased Lightning, razor blades, SOS pads work well for me.
I have several that need to get the treatment when it warms up.
 
After each cook I clean my grate with a scraper, clean the bottom with a plastic scraper and a cheap chip-brush, and clean the outside with Windex. (Mild glass cleaner was what Weber recommended to clean the exterior with before the new people took over).

If things get gummed up I put it in oven cleaner mode using a hot fire and the gunk tends to burn off by itself. I don’t remember using anything stronger than Dawn.

I’ve also bought a big washtub to soak the smoker grates in hot water & dishwashing detergent which worked great but the weld areas of the grate started to rust.

The new Dawn power wash also works great for cleaning up the rotisserie after a cook. I bet it would do a good job on the grates and bowl.

My tools to clean bowl after each cook. It cleaned this mess up. The chip brushes are 36 for $11 at harbor freight. I buy them for chips on my metal lathe but they are a great cheap brushes for other stuff. The scraper is part of a set at harbor freight.

Scrape clean and if doing a deep clean a pressure washer.

Or if you believe the TV, just spray with clean boss and then cook again!
 
For cleaning the outside I use Dawn dish soap and 0000 steel wool. Straight from the guys at Weber Kettle Club.
 
Inside: a ball of aluminum foil. Outside, never have had to worry about it, just some water and dish soap to clean off bird poop etc.
 
Outside nothing. Inside I scrape the grill after every cook with a scraper and brush. Occasionally I'll flip the grill over and do the same. The sides I typically will let the heat from the coals take care of that. Once a year or so I'll take a wire wheel on a drill to the grill,
