i must say, i'm happy to be inspiring others and humbled by the praise.

@keaka-tiki...i tried a wire brush but didn't care for the results. next i tried a small stiff bristled whisk broom, which worked great but was very labor intensive.
i finally ended up with a handled stiff bristled cleaning brush which worked great and got the job done about 5 times quicker, not to mention it was much easier on my wrist.
i got this one at home depot but i imagine you can get them anywhere.

please be sure to wear safety glasses and a mask when brushing the burnt wood. it's nasty stuff.

next up, tearing down the original patio cover to start anew.
