Can I put the ammonia in the bottom of the WSM and have it clean the grills and inside of the WSM?

I can't answer that -- never tried it. We only clean the inside one time a year and we take it down to original.

Good Stuff?
You walk into your local diner and order eggs, the pan has not been cleaned in 2 weeks, you ask and the answer is "it's the good stuff" we never clean it. Dan does that make you feel warm and fuzzy or sick to your stomach?

LOL I work in a diner- people think that our flat top never gets scrubbed and it's 'seasoned' and that's why it cooks so well. Tell y'all what.. it's scrubbed three times a day with a pumice stone. there's no 'seasoning' on a flat top. and the egg pans are more likely to be just wiped out with a paper towel- they're heated up beyond hot, non stick and with a bit of butter, any egg is removed and hte pan sanitary with just a wipe.

I see BBQ pits with loads of crusties on the cooking surface, it worries me a little sometimes. that black stuff is bitter. ugh...

Hot steam cleaner is by far the fastest way to clean  cooking grates. Or after meat is off and before cooker cools down get your self some water and some rags and go to it, hot water does make it eaiser!!

 I've always just heated  my grills w/ a propane  weed torch then used a large  hardwood branch( end burnt to charcoal) to scratch off the burnt crud and ash. 

Finish w/ papertowel and cooking oil

Here's the process to keep the cleanup to a minimum.
WSM ---
We spray the grates with PAM grille -- just before you put the meat in the smoker
After the cook because we pack for the next contest, we wire brush the hot grates and wipe with paper towels.
If you leave the grates dirty till you get home --- follow the beginning of this tread
