I watch this religiously at the start of every grill season. “It’s the most wonderful time of the year”. Thank you!
I did it the hard way with stinky cleaners and a lot of elbow-grease and just as I was beginning to wonder if BBQ was really necessary in my life, I came inside and watched your very common-sense video! I really appreciate the safer cleaning solution and not needing to clean until sparkling again. Thanks a bunch!
"I was beginning to wonder if BBQ was really necessary in my life" I felt exactly the same after my first time using my grill lol
Thanks for posting Dave. Good to note that Weber will replace burner tubes up to 10 years after purchase date, as long as you have registered the grill when you bought it. Great company with solid customer service.
will Weber do that for second hand owners of grills if they register the serial number? I bought a 5 year old Genesis grill.
Thank you for great video! I'd like to add that if you are purchasing a plastic scraper (so necessary), make sure it is hard, not bendy, plastic. Also, I find disposable vinyl gloves useful. You can buy a big box of them for not much $. And I learned today that orange flames are bad, so don't skip brushing those burners!! Lastly, in case anyone reading this hasn't heard, little bits of those metal scrub brushes can break off onto your cooking grates, be ingested, and cause great harm. After scrubbing with a metal brush, it is a good idea to use a paper towel to brush the grates.
I like to use Dawn dishwashing soap. It does a nice job on grease.
Half white vinegar and half dawn dish soap water. Works great on hard water stains also
Thank You Michael Ott💖 I agree : while watching this video, I'm using DAWN to clean the grill at this very moment of leaving you this comment. I guessed we both make great spokespersons for the dishwashing product.😊
@@Sasquatch__ I truly appreciate your helpful information. THANK YOU 😊💖
Dawn, baking soda and hot water works real well as a degreaser.
My grill is really dirty and I just took it apart to clean it. I decided to look on TH-cam how to clean a grill because I didn't want to use any chemicals. This is exactly what I was looking for. My husband ordered a couple of parts that were in bad shape. Thanks so much Dave for your guidance. It help me a lot. Love your voice!!!
Maggie Maga thanks for watching Maggie. You are the first person to ever comment on my voice, I appreciate that.
thank you as a seventeen year old art major i have no idea what the hell i am doing, thank you sir have a lovely day
You’re welcome, from an art school graduate.
omg you’re so sweet🥺❣️
@@Hytzii thanks?
Never have i felt more seen
Clearly you don’t know what you’re doing. Why else would you be an art major
Dave, Thanks so much for walking me through it all. I believe your guidance will allow me to extend the life of my grill.
Jim Amy Jim! How are you my friend. Glad I can help you clean your grill. Hope you are all well.
Thank you Dave
I had read the cleaning instructions that came with the grill and I was like there has to be something to help me clean this grill that is safe and won't damage it besides just using the metal brushes.
I had already thought about using vinegar and was tempted to mix it with peroxide as it's a great cleaning agent mixed in equal parts. I used your cleaning mix instead and was surprised to see how really well it worked. It took me 7 hours to clean my grill from top to bottom it had not been deep cleaned since we started using it in 2010. I started complaining to my mother we were going to have a fire if we didn't clean it and then she said well I have the Weber Manual if you want to read it and tackle the job. Jeez that would have helped so many years ago and I would not have waited that long to deep clean it if it were mine. Needless to say my father has been gone from this world since 2007 and I'm divorced so we have no men in our life to help us so it's all up to me to take care of all the Man chores for both of us as my Mom is 74 and is no longer able.
simply use Dawn Dishwashing soap - works great -
TRY EARTH BRITE FRENCH CLAY... HSN. $20 or so...you will be amazed at how many uses it has...you don't need a man! 😊
@Koze -use a lot of paper towels- maybe a whole roll.
Just read learn and practice! God bless you
Thank you SO much - I was clueless about how to clean my Weber, which desperately needs to be cleaned. Now I have more excuses.
mmmm isnt it cheaper to buy another one kkkkkkkk
Appreciate the note not to fuss about getting all back to the original shine, leaving traces is fine. Totally useful-THANKS!
I just bought my first gas grill and I was reading that after the first use to clean it right away and i cleaned the grates by brushing it. but the inside still needs to be done. Your video really helped me i have been searching and searching and this has been the easiest and in-depth video I have found. Thank you!!
MotherAngel0482 Thank you. I really appreciate your feedback. Thanks for watching.
Tip, swap the flavorizor bars around if not all are used equally. A spray bottle with water will work well for each post grilling cleanup.
Thank you the baking soda and vinegar mix saved so much time!! thanks for making this
You are so welcome!
Great tutorial i will trybout the natural cleaning...I just got my weber an want to keep it top knotch...thanks again...new sub.
This has saved me from using the wrong tools and chemicals, thank you for putting this out for those of us who need a 'community dad' to explain it to us.

I’m glad I could help
Nice demonstration. I am deep cleaning our 6 year old Weber Q3000 for the first time, this morning. Thanks for the tips. Happy grilling!
I bought this as my first propane grill. It's been a fun, learning experience th-cam.com/users/postUgkxCx5fHawkK9OoV-ojFrY8JLnZrFwAmvUt . I think it's a bit too pricey after looking at other grills, but it wasn't hard to put together and it works really well. I love the side burner option for heating food during a power outage. I have an electric stove and live in the South (Hurricane season), so this was a bonus. I also bought a cover for it and it has protected it nicely (the Char Broil All-Season Grill Cover 3-4 Burner: Large). Every few grill sessions, I take the rack (or grate) and burner covers off and clean them with a non-abrasive scrubby and mild soap. I wipe the excess off of the bottom as well, taking care to avoid the gas and pilot lines.
I followed this video almost word for word and it worked wonderfully. I'd owned a Genesis 3 burner for a few years and never properly deep cleaned it. A few weeks ago, most of the bottom caught fire while I was grilling chicken (it was cajun blackened, so nobody was the wiser :-/ ).
I removed everything and was shocked to see how much crude was under the burners and grates.
The steps in this video brought it almost back to new. If I'd cleaned it annually like I was supposed to, it probably would have been good as new. I esp liked the use of a non chemical cleaning solution. I'm not that worried about the chemicals...fire kills everything, but it's a good consideration, esp when the solution in the video worked as well as it did.
Great video.
Awesome. Glad I could help
This was extremely helpful, thank you! Great explanation and thank you for including what tools and pans you use! Made cleaning and cleanup a breeze! 👍
You’re welcome. Thanks for watching
I agree with Kaitlyn!😊👍🏻
Thank you for doing this video step by step, Dave. I have a brand new gas grill and need to know how to clean it. 😊
Thank you for taking the time to do this, it was very helpful...gave me a game plan for deep cleaning my own Weber tomorrow. I'm grateful for the guidance. :)
You are welcome. Thanks for watching
vinegar and baking soda neutralize each other to form sodium acetate. For the greasy internal parts hot water in a sink with a tbs cascade dishwasher soap plus about 2 tbs washing soda (sodium carbonate) which really cuts the grease with a bit of scrubbing.
I actually usually use Simply Green to clean it now.
I just bought a used Weber and this is exactly what I needed.
Thank you. I had cleaned the barbecue but could not fit the grills back into the barbecue so needed that info.
This is what I use to clean my Weber gas grill. Spray the outside of your grill, the stainless and porcelain, with easy off oven cleaner wipe with wet damp sponge and dry with paper towel. Then spray with stainless steel cleaner and polish with dry cotton towel. Comes out looking brand new.
Just a suggestion.
This is the cleanest grill to undergo a deep cleaning I've ever seen
Thanks Dave! Nice to get some insight from someone who spends a far more appropriate amount of time at the grill than I do! ...while staying away from chemical, as well.
Wade Remington Thanks. I appreciate it.
First time checking out your videos (finally decided to give my grill a proper cleaning). Excellent information. Stay well Dave.
Excellent. Come to think of it, I really need to clean mine again too. Thanks for watching
God Bless and thank you. When cleaning my grill, i always run the burner on high and super hot to burn the grease and powderize any food particle, around 30 minutes after grilling. Then, i can easily scrape off the ashes and wipe clean. No chemicals needed.
🙏THANK YOU Sir!! Young people today are lost without people like you to help us. My daddy died and he used to take care of this stuff. Daddy always had the answers to my questions and I could always count on him. RIP Daddy.🙏😭😢 Thank you for helping us daddy less girls out here sir!! 🤗💞🤗
I’m glad I could help, and I’m sorry for your loss.
Bought my first Weber gas grill..love it. Thanks for the cleaning video.
Very useful information. Seems simple to clean your grill but you gave good ideas. The shop vac idea will work great!
Good job I own the same grill 5 urs now. I like to take the shop vac to it about everytime I run thru a tank or 2. I haven't used a flat scraper though might have to try that. The vac usually gets most of it. Definitely important to keep it clean as it breathes better when cleaned out and avoid fires. I build high end outdoor kitchens that we install 3 to 5k grills and cost upwards of 50 to 100k and at home I use a Weber just like yours
Save yourself all that work on the heat deflectors with the following drill attachment: Avanti Pro 4 in. x 1 in. Non-Woven Drill Mount Quick-Strip Disc. Cut your work time down to a few minutes. I also used it to remove old seasoning on my cast iron pans for a smooth surface prior to re-seasoning.
Man this is such a great idea!!... I'm trying to look for this on amazon from Canada. Is it only the "Non-Woven drill mount" that would work for this? thanks
@@RebornJonn It’s available from Home Depot. Alternatively try a 3” cup brush that also works on a drill.
@@AereForst I'll take a look, thanks!
Dude, you’re the best grill video maker out there thank you.
I do t know if that’s true, but I really appreciate it.
Thank you. I was intimidated by thought of deep cleaning my grill. I even bought replacement parts to avoid it. Your clip has inspired me to clean my old parts and save my new parts for later down the road. Great tips, explanations on why you do what you do and lastly the recipe for the environmentally safe cleaner. You rock!
Jo Ellen Polite thanks for watching. I appreciate it. Now go clean your grill!!! 😃
Simple and effective techniques. Thanks for the video!
You mention seasoning on the grates. Do you have cast iron? My understanding is only cast iron items should have a seasoning while stainless shouldn’t and in a perfect world always be spotless
Just wanted to take a minute to wish u a happy thanksgiving Dave. Thank you for all the time you take to make these videos for us so we can be better pitmaster!
Elliott and Shelley Carman Wow. Thanks. I really appreciate the feedback. Hope you and yours have a happy Thanksgiving.
The best gril cleaning video I have ever seen. I only watched 3, but still. Awesome!!!
This was excellent. Simple process but I needed it... Thanks!
I just took delivery today of a this same model. I can't wait to begin using it. Your video was extremely informative. I'm sure by Summer's end I'll be cleaning mine.Thanks.
I have a similar Webber and love it! Wishing you some great cookouts, enjoy it!
Big shoutout from Minnesota! Thank you for the video!
Thanks Dave. Very helpful and to the point tips. Appreciate your time.
This is an awesome vid. Very quick, to the point! Clear and easy to understand as well. Love the homemade feel of the video, feels more real unlike all the try hards out on TH-cam these days haha. Thanks!
Thanks. If you watch any of my videos, one thing should be obvious. I don’t try all that hard. Thanks for watching
Thank you Dave! I’m going to show my husband this video and we’ll get the bbq cleaned up and running in no time 😊
I do the cleaning and brushing off the big stuff then spay Zep Oven Cleaner from Home Depot. I wait 30 minutes then pressure wash everything and it comes clean. I also fire it up to dry out the grill then let it cool down. I get 10 + years out of my bbq and I bbq all year long here in Canada.
You are an amazing phenomenal teacher and your guidelines were spot on. After 3+ years of neglect looking amazing🌞. Thank youuuu very much 🤗🤲🙏
You’re welcome. And I truly appreciate the feedback.
Loved how you explained and showed everything you were doing. AWESOME
Now i know why i have to keep replacing parts or even the grill... Been going it wrong all this time.. Thanks for the video
i bought a cheap $20 one years ago. and with simple basic scrub down and hasnt rusted at all.
We were just gifted my moms 3 yr old Weber Genesis II 310- gonna try this this weekend to get it dialed in and clean
Nice. Since I’ve made this video I’ve stopped using vinegar and baking soda, which is basically just weak vinegar. I use simple green now. Or any environmentally friendly food safe grease cleaner.
Really good advice, always feel I had to do a deep clean to remove cooking matter, so advice really useful.
I have the same Weber. I was happy I picked it up years ago before they changed the design. Nice tutorial my man.
Thanks. I agree I don’t like the open bottom design on the new ones. I like doors to hide the tank. Cleaner look.
I like the way you clean it, using no chemical. My grill needs cleaning, I will do the same, thanks for the cleaning tips🙂
Thank you, I appreciate it
Someone in my neighborhood put their 1 year old Genesis e310 on the curb with a free sign. Knocked on his door and he said it just stopped working and he bought a new one. Didnt want to deal with it so giving it away. I wheeled it home and it started right up. Flame is a little low but maybe it just needs a good cleaning cuz its nasty.
Thanks for the video!
may only need a Propane regulator
Featured snippet from the web
The propane gas regulator is one of the most important parts of a propane gas system. The purpose of the regulator is to control the flow of gas and lower the pressure from the LP Gas tank to the appliance(s) in the gas system.
@@RonTrovatoRealtor thanks for the tip. Thats what im thinking. Called Weber customer support and they walked me through getting it out of bipass mode but that didnt work. A neighbor had a hose/regulator that was for a different grill and it did create more heat but never got over 300. Gonna buy the exact hose for this grill and see what happens!
@@akleddie6 before you buy - remove regulator from tank and bbg - open all the flame knobs - wait a few minutes.... rehook regulator on tank and open valve real real slow (to reset it)... once you smell gas, close all knobs, wait a few minutes and see if that helps your flame pressure - worked for me
@@RonTrovatoRealtor just tried it and still stuck at 250 after 11 min
@@akleddie6 there is a small coupler between the line before either the flame bar outlet or the inputs to the flame bars, remove and see if that needs cleaning - if unit has serial number go to this site to find manual www.weber.com/US/en/help/manuals/
Thanks for the tips! Used your vinegar / baking soda solution and it worked great!
Awesome. Thanks for watching
Nice work dave. thanks. very well organized
Awesome video Dave. Very informative and detailed! I had a gas grill a long long time ago lol but what’s great about this video is that you can apply the some of the same principles to a stick burner or a pellet grill. Great job and keepbbqing
Smokin’ Jazz Bbq thanks I appreciated it.
Thanks, man. I've owned grills for many, many years. And I've never done anything like this. Thank you for showing me how.
You are welcome. I need to get out there and clean mine again.
I am exhausted just watching this super easy cleaning method 😂
Great Video Dave! You gave me some really helpful tips on how to clean my first Weber BBQ Grill 👍🏼
Glad I could help
Your cleaning with various implements was VERY helpful
Richard McArthur Thanks.
Well Done, nice and simple (and all that needs to happen)
I have similar bits on my weber. Flame deflectors come up perfect after soaking in hot soapy water and brush it.
I’ll have to try that. I think mine are mostly a rust grease mixture at this point.
Can’t possibly get anymore dad than this guy!
Proud father of twins. Although I’d argue most dads don’t have TH-cam channels.
Thanks for posting. You helped me bring my grill that I hadn't used in 3 years back to life!
Very good guide on cleaning this. 🌟
Great video! I have the 3 burner "Spirit" one, the cheaper model. How I have known in the past that its time to clean it is when it catches fire during cooking, so obviously I could be doing a much better job. Hopefully this year will be different, and getting some counselling in the matter is a good start. Thanks!
Thank you. This is all you need to know on bbq cleaning.
My son Bryan introduced me to your BBQ site. Good tips . You have me thinking of getting a smoker.
Ciro Sinagra Mr. Sinagra!!! Your son Bryan is a very smart man. Let me know if your going to get a smoker. I’ll talk you through it.
You make the best BBQ videos on TH-cam
Thank you. I’m pretty sure that’s not true, but I appreciate it nonetheless the less.
Dave! This is a great video! Thank you for posting!
Thanks! This was incredibly helpful.
I use nitrile gloves as well when I clean/ detail my grill.
Nice work. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for video. I like to wear disposable nitrile gloves, when cleaning the Q. That black carbony grease is messy stuff.
Cool. Believe it or not , I actually took my electric pressure washer to some parts of my grill. To get them clean.
Of course I removed them from grill first. The cleaning got me another year out of the grill . Before the bottom rusted out.. 8+ years charbroil 4 burner. Replaced by end of season sale Thermos 4 burner grill also made by Charbroil. The cool thing is some of the parts from. Old grill will work on new grill if I need them. Since they are both made by Charbroil.
Thanks Dave! I’m getting ready to clean my grill for the first time 😅
Awesome. I really need to do mine as well
Got the same ZEP sprayer.
Converted the old gas grill to a wood charcoal grill.
peace searcher that’s interesting. How do you control the air flow?
fantastic, thank you, and thanks for not pushing to have everything cleaned to showroom brand new!
No problem!
Thanks you sir. Watching this tutorial has made my clean up job easier.
Glad I could help
Thanks for the video. I’m doing this today because I had a grease fire last night and had to pour baking soda all over it to put it out. Half scared me to death.
Might sound crazy but car care products for stainless work great. Use metal polish and microfiber cloths. No scratching. You can use a drill and car polish to clean the paint also.
Thank you for these cleaning tips. Just curious but, couldn't I just place all those interior parts (grates, flavorizer bars, and heat deflectors) in my kitchen gas range and run them through the self-cleaning cycle?
Jerry that might work. My wife doesn’t like the dirty grill stuff indoors.
Use a Magic Eraser on those lid burn marks.
Wow! Great video. First time cleaned my grill like that. Looks and feel new again.
Awesome. Glad I could help. I was just using that grill this weekend and it’s in desperate need of a cleaning.
This is so helpful again, thank you Dave have a nice summer
Great video Dave. I inherited an E-310, which is slightly older but very much the same grill. Flavor bars are horizontal. I've found some white corrosion on the side trays, which seem to have some form of cast iron? Any ideas for cleaning that?
Is the the entire side tray or just the end caps? I think they’re painted cast aluminum, at least the are on mine. I’d scrub with a nylon scrub pad and mild detergent. Go slow and start on an inconspicuous spot. You may have to tape them off and repaint them. Thanks for watching
This is helpful, thanks. If I see white/greenish patches on the inside of my grill (maybe mold from covering my grill) should I use something stronger than the vinegar and baking soda solution?
Probably. I like Simple Green
I clean my char broil advantage 4 burner gas grill once while. I use soap cloth steel wool brush. Clean bars and the top what the meat get put on. The bars are just there to protect the flame pipe
My pit is close to yours, just no sear option, thanks for the video! Good info!
Adding dish soap to the vinegar/ baking soda mix can help with stubborn grease. Vinegar and baking soda can take a while to start working...Another good trick is a portable on demand steamer style cleaner like the Wagner Spraytech or handheld steamer and distilled water. Steaming can be quick and safe way to clean and sanitize inside of your grill without using chemicals.
Funny you mention it, since making this video I’ve switched to using sime green most of the time
@@daveshouseofbbq yup lol .
Good advise, NO chemicals. Good tip only with vinegar.
I had my doubts on using the vinegar and baking soda, but it worked! Thank you Dave for the great tips!
Glad it worked.
I love how there are over 200k of us not knowing how to clean the BBQ . Good work cheers
Thank you for help cleaning my grill.👍
I don’t even own a grill, as a 22 year old girl but it was pretty entertaining to watch 😁 left me wanting to purchase one
Stephany Q cool. I recommend Weber. Can I ask you a question? If you don’t own a grill, how did you end up watching my video? Thanks
Dave's Ohio BBQ & More yeah it looks like a great grill ! & it just came out on my recommended videos
Thanks for the video, lots of common sense tips that will make my impending grill cleaning a lot less daunting! P.S. I hope weber gives you a little kickback for all the mentions ;-)
Kevin F Wouldn’t that be nice. Will never happen. 😂😂
Great video on cleaning the grill. thanks
Thank u for that and I love the natural cleaning solution!!
You’re welcome.
