Have you used the vacuum during a cook?I have aluminum foil on the top side of both of my deflector plates, and lining the grease drip tray (underneath, in a pull out drawer, on a 700S). After 5 cooks, I have decided that changing the aluminum foil after every cook is too much, I'm only going to do it moving forward when "it needs it". In the drip drawer, I have it lined, but then I put a smaller piece of foil right where it drips in, so I can easily swap out that 5"x5" piece more often.
As far as non-foil wrapping, I purchased two items and two 5 gallon buckets from Home Depot.
1. Bucket Head vacuum. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Bucket-...ible-with-5-Gal-Homer-Bucket-BH0100/202017218
2. Dustopper to capture the dust and not get it into the bucket head. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Dustopp...ERCH=REC-_-pipsem-_-202017218-_-302643445-_-N
Each of these sit in the bottom of one of these Gladiator cabinets with rolling wheels and a wooden top. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Gladiator-...-Steel-Freestanding-Garage-Cabinet/1000253905
It isn't a perfect system. The Dustopper is a 2.5" system, and the Bucket Head is a 1.25" system. So I need to work out a permanent mating system, instead of plugging gaps with shop rags. My hope is that I will be able to leave them in the cabinet while I do the vacuuming. I think a smarter vacuum purchase would have been something like this : https://www.homedepot.com/p/Stinger...ERCH=REC-_-pipsem-_-202017218-_-308699706-_-N because it would have been smaller than the second 5 gallon bucket.
I have two spray bottles with simple green concentrate in them, one at 5:1 and one at 3:1. They cut the grease really well, but not as well as the dawn spray bottle https://www.homedepot.com/p/Dawn-Pl...1-Starter-Kit-1-Refill-003700031836/311720780 I never found a refill at my Home Depot, so I moved on to Simple Green.
Have fun, and let us know how your cooks go!
Thanks for the reply! I was thinking a smaller vacuum would be something to pick up - I have a 16 gal shopvac, but it’s too big to be lugging back and forth every time I clean the grill.
