Please don't take his wrong, as I have been reared with dark humor.
Your handle and comment made me laugh.

Hot fire and aluminum foil is how I have been cleaning my grates. Once my wire brush wore out, I just didn't replace it. Seems to work just fine. Still poop normally...

Easy

I try not to use grill brush much,when do I follow with a paper towel or rag with oil to clean off any left over broke wire bits.
Now to clean grates I during my once to twice grill clean up in soak them in warm water out in the sun in my water heater pan. I can do several at once,then scrub with the soapy water, rinse.
I also use a old style weeded tool from decades ago with a V notch to dig out roots to scape the big stuff of the grates.

I use the bottom 16" cut from a 55 gallon plastic barrel and soak cook grates up to 22" in a water and Oxi-Clean powder.

I also toss any stainless steel and plated rotisserie parts like the Rib-O-Lator trays, EZ-Que cradles, Oct-O-Forks, baskets etc. in as well.

Usually an overnight soak is enough to remove most crud and the longer the soak the easier to clean. I hose them off in the tub. Look like new again!.

If $15-20 is too much to spring for a grate we need a new passion!
I cook on: Backwoods Gater, Lang 36, Hunsaker Smokers, Pellet Pro 22" WSM, BGE's, WSM's, Cajun Bandits, PK Grills, Drum Smokers, Genesis Silver C, Weber Q's, Cookshack 008, Little Chief, La Caja China #2, Lodge Sportsman...oh yeah! Weber Kettles! Kamado restoration and pit modification hack!
