This is one familiar brand. Probably a life time supply for a home shop…
No odor, doesn’t get all over everything.

I got this after I saw it here, it’s been working well.

Ethanol does wonders for keeping the piezo starteranon your grill clean. Quick splash and a couple clicks and poof, carbon gone! All the carbon too! Even some of yours!
Clearly a shill for Big Bit. Ha! jk
Disclaimer, don't put ethanol on your grill. But if you do, please post the video.

I just keep an old file cleaning brush next to the drill and voila, done. Won’t damage anything, cheap, and no solvent or oil residue. Considering how soft aluminium is there is no need for anything else imo.

Best I have found. The tap paste mentioned earlier is great as well.
Alcohol is actually great, it just doesn't stick around.
