Burned plastic outdoor grill

[Chester11]

Hey folks:

Not sure if this is the right place for this.

Like a dope - I accidentally burned up my plastic handled scrub brush on the grill grates. It dripped down and on to the flavor burners.

It made an absolute mess. I was able scrape most off most and used some vinegar on the parts. And am slowly burning off any remainder.

I saw another thread which suggested using ammonia for grease - but that really isn't my problem.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

hilarious - I reread my title this morning.

good point on replacing the bars - they are pretty rusted anyway - but only a few years old.

Burn it off with a propane torch.
