Aluminum FoilAfter the last steak is brought in, and while the coals are still red-hot, lay a sheet of aluminum foil over the grill to burn off any remaining foodstuffs. The next time you use your barbecue, crumple up the foil and use it to easily scrub off the burned food before you start cooking.

Baking SodaKeep your barbecue grill in top condition by making a soft paste of 1/4 cup baking soda and 1/4 cup water. Apply the paste with a wire brush and let dry for 15 minutes. Then wipe it down with a dry cloth and place the grill over the hot coals for at least 15 minutes to burn off any residue before placing any food on top.

Bottle OpenersIt may not be the carpenter's best friend, but the sharp end of a bottle opener can be handy for removing loose plaster from a wall before patching it. It's great for running along cracks, and you can use to undercut a hole -- that is, make it wider at the bottom than at the surface -- so that the new plaster will "key" into the old. The sharp end of the opener is equally useful for removing old grout between your bathroom tiles before regrouting.

CandlesDon't let a draft blow out the flame when you're trying to light your fireplace or spark up the barbecue grill. Start your fire with one of those trick puff-proof birthday candles, designed to be a practical joke aid that prevents birthday celebrants from blowing out the candles on their cakes. Once your fire is up and roaring, smother the candle flame and save the trick candle for future use.

Duct Tape For some reason, mice and squirrels love to chew on rubber, and one of their favorite snacks is often the rubber hose that connects the propane tank to your gas grill. Protect the hose by wrapping it in duct tape.

Plastic Bags That neighborhood barbecue was a blast, but your grill is a sorry mess now. Take the racks off and place them in a garbage bag. Spray oven cleaner on the grill and close up the bag. The next day, open the bag, making sure to keep your face away from the fumes. All that burned-on gunk should wipe right off.

Pots and Pans You've got a big barbecue planned, and your grill is not big enough to handle all those burgers and dogs. Improvise an auxiliary grill by building a fire in an old, large pot. Cook on a cake rack placed over the pot. After you are finished, put the pot's cover on to choke out the fire and save the charcoal for another cookout.

WD-40To make a worn old barbecue grill look like new again, spray it liberally with WD-40, wait a few seconds, and scrub with a wire brush. Remember to use WD-40 only on a grill that is not in use and has cooled off.
