@@robbobcat7286 But joke aside, my 5-year old Weber had chrome chipped on the sleeve of the handle and a 30-sec online chat later, they are sending me a brand new handle - no questions asked. But then again, I've always been following this guy's instructions ;)
I may have said this before, but it's worth repeating.... Weber is literally one of the finest companies I have ever delt with. Kudos to them, including their upper management for being intelligent enough to know how to create and keep long-term customers!
I find that my weber ive had for about 8 years has been no better than any of the cheap garbage I used to buy. It has hot spots and not so hot spots, gets just as dirty and as difficult to clean, temperature gauge is just as unreliable, flames are just as unpredictable. I'm curious what is better about weber than cheap grills? I mean that sincerely. What am I missing?
I have a weber. Best grill ever in 48 years. One important thing, and this may sound really silly: do you grill EXACTLY in accordance with Weber’s instructions. If not, try it for a week, or 5-10 grillings. Then comment again.
@@susan1895 Yes, but the company is great to deal with, which is all I'm saying here. Grilling is a the dirtiest way to cook and yes, Web's have hot spots like any other grill, but if you willingly follow Weber's directions, you can get better results with a more accurate way to get the desired amount of doneness. Like with pork... the window for getting pork cooked right is about 1 minute more or less. If you cook it only on the grill's hot spot, narrow that time down to about 30 seconds. And don't forget about letting the pork get up to its final temperature while resting after removing it from the grill. So yes, it's like many other grills, but with proven methods to using it properly and a great company that stands behind it. PS, for the first 2 mos that I used my E210, I had the grates on upside down (like an idiot). Someone caught my mistake and when I flipped them over, I finally understood what all the hubbub was about. Try doing it Weber's way just a few times to see if you lk it better.
Take this video with a grain of salt. First, I cleaned the inside of my Weber grille first, knowing I would get the exterior dirty and wanted to do that last. Second, I used a plastic scraper, actually used a plastic shim for carpentry, since it was 10” long and very gentle on the metal surface - you definitely would NOT want to use anything metal on the bottom tray to prevent scratches. Longer length of shim prevented me from running my hand into any slop. Third, clear Windex works great on SS, and Lemon Simple Green is outstanding on heavily soiled SS, if you take time and follow directions (wash, rinse, dry). Other than being backwards and potentially harmful to the finish on your Weber, a good explanation of what needs to be cleaned.

I grill with the Weber Genesis II, does it break down like this grill? Be safe all while grilling, always have extinguisher near by, and if you don't have a fire extinguisher, then have a box of baking soda. When a flare breaks out after and you turned off all valves to the gas and tank, just throw baking soda on the flames to smother and extinguish the fire.
How often should you do this..? I used mine for the first time last weekend and went through all this but I couldn’t be bothered keeping that up every time!
Watching on 4th of July. 🇺🇸 Today was the maiden lighting of my first Weber, a Spirit E-310. Got my Weber to 500 degrees and seared some fine cuts of Sirloin (4 min on each side) with only salt and pepper seasoning 2 hours earlier. Outstanding char! 🥩 After which I needed to figure how to properly clean my new grill. Wow, had no idea how much maintenance I 'should' have been doing on previous grills. I suppose this is now a full time commitment. 🇺🇸
I recently bought a grill and did the inital burn off. I forgot to take the weber 10 year warranty sticker off the lid. I noticed it after 10 minutes and took it off. It came off pretty easy but you can see where the sticker was. Any suggestions on how to clean this?
Hey... I'm thinking about getting a Spirit E-210. How often should I clean it as mentioned in the video to ensure it looks brand new after a few years? I'm planning to use it twice a month at least. Thanks.
How do you rinse the inside of the lid, you said wash with warm soapy water then rinse. Do I just hit it with the hose? Or is it bad to get that much water inside the grill box and on the burners?
Another guy with the stainless steel grill brush.I dump the grill tray over the fence on my neighbor's plants.The plants love the grease. It makes them grow bigger.
I just bought a Genesis 310. How often should I clean this grill? I have used it at least 8 times since the purchase. now It looks nothing like the one they are cleaning in this video. Any ideas on a schedule are appreciated.
I have a 2012 Genesis E-310. I can't explain why it may look different except maybe you bought an older one on sale somewhere or maybe you live somewhere other than the US. The model in the pic is from 2012 and it still looks the same in 2014. This big cleaning shouldn't need done more than once per year. I scrape off my burner tubes once ever few months and wipe down the side tables once per month. Hope this helped you.
The drip trays that catch all the grease are very cheap my local hardware store has them 10pack for around $6.00 .... the drip tray you should not line because it can restrict how the grease flows and can catch fire which ive seen first hand =)
Might be a silly question but on some of the parts like the inside of the lid he said wash with warm soapy water and rinse. Now am I am to rinse it by pouring water in the lid or my garden hose to rinse it?
Just clean the top of the inside, and burners, and clean the grill grates when they're hot, right before you put your food on it. The stuff that builds up on the v-shaped metal under the grills is what gives your food flavor, just like a charcoal grill.
Is there any need/advantage to using briquettes on a grill like this one? I was about to replace mine, but the gentleman at the hardware store told me they don't belong in a grill with this configuration and to save myself the extra $15 they would cost...
Did you ever hear the tragedy of Kevin Coleman, Weber's Grilling Expert? I thought not. It’s not a story Weber would tell you. It’s a Grilling legend. Kevin Coleman was a Cleaner of the Grill, so efficient and so wise he could use the Soap to influence the Grease to create Shine… He had such a knowledge of the Grill that he could even keep the ones he cared about from losing performance. The Kevin of the Grill Cleaning is a pathway to many results some consider to be unnatural. He became so effective… the only thing he was afraid of was having his power exposed, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his audience everything he knew, then his audience exposed him in his comment section. Ironic. He could make it seem as if his own grill was clean, but not others'.
You are not going to believe this but we have had 3 webber grills in our family for over 20 years. My son just rebuilt one of them and by ordering parts made it just like new. During his rebuild he discovered all of us have been using the 2 grills with the pointed sides up. What an embarrassment. Today will. E the first time in over 20 years that we will be grilling on the right side of the grates! Has anyone else done the same thing? Oh by the way we love our webber grills. The rebuilt Webber is working just as good as our new one.
Lol - that Weber is either one month old, or gets used once a week. I live in MA and in the winter when it snows 1) I do snow remove the driveway 2) the front walk 3) a path to my Weber. I'm out there grilling in February!!
HI! We recommend using a wire brush or a scraper to remove the debris from your flavor bars. We do not recommend using a dishwasher because the grease can clog the drain on the dishwasher. Hopefully this helps. Thank you!
I grill in winter no matter how cold I grill. My grill is in good condition it's because I clean it once ever few months. Believe it or not I actually think cleaning the box the smoker box of your grill the box is bad. To me it seems like all the like all the gunk and stuff helps with the smoke when you cook the grill cook on it like
I got an E-310 Spirit Classic and the grates are some type of coated hollow metal. I cant scrub with steel wool or anything abrasive, a headache to clean properly (soaking seems to be best result so far). If anyone has experience or advice, Id be grateful.
Hi! So sorry to hear about your grates. We do have other grate options available. Please reach out by phone or email for further assistance 800-446-1071 or support@weberstephen.com. Thank you!
I just got the Genesis e-310 with the porcelain-enameled grates. You should do a video on cleaning/maintaining those. Do you recommend upgrading to the stainless steel ones?
I have the non-stainless grates cast iron grates (E-335) simply scrape and scrub with Weber wire brush. If and when they ever become worn out, replace with same type or "upgrade" to stainless tubular grates. I don't think grate types make much difference. Trying to keep stainless grates looking new would be a PITA.
SERIOUSLY ? Meaning . . . . . . being superproud of myself just after finishing one single deep clean a year, even sometimes every second year - might be a bit overkill ?
So at 2:05 he says remove the grates to clean them over the side trays that you had already cleaned?! Why not wait and clean the side tables till the end, unless of course you like cleaning them twice...
It wasn't a big deal to clean up my G2000. If using oven cleaner on a porcelain enamel interior lid finish, be careful about the fumes and try leaving it covered to soak & dissolve the buildup in a garbage bag. The fumes are caustic. My grill was never cleaned and with a few passes of spraying and scrubbing it cleaned up.
It is still worth getting a gas grill. No waiting and perfect grilling. Ive had mine over six years. I cleaned it once after a year. Not too bad actually. Ive not cleaned it since but will do so, real soon. The point i am making: even if you use it a LOT, you dont have to clean it for years. The keep the grill tops clean - that’s a piece of cake!
Just a friendly warning to my fellow grillers, i had too much grease accumulated because i didn't clean my grill or drain the drip pan and had a nasty grease fire, lesson learned keeping your grill clean may save your life
Weber gas grills are the most pain in the butt things to clean. Grease gets in every damn nook and cranny. I stopped grilling because it’s not worth the hassle
I don't clean my grill grates. Just knock all the crap off with a wire brush when they're hot and after you've cooked on them. Scraping the the flavor bars and insides down with a putty knife is good advice but I go an extra step and spray everything down with oven cleaner and hose it out after 15 minutes. I've had my grill for ten years now and the only thing I replace occasionally is the flavor bars. This grill is so NOT dirty. He's getting rid of all the seasoning which is what you want to keep! Lol. 0:18
Thanks monkeyman for advice on NOT scrubbing the heavy new SS grids I just got for my 1997 Genesis. It's a bit obsessive and they won't stay shiny new for long anyway - I expect the metal itself to discolor and darken slightly, no harm done. Their beauty is functional, like the SS flavor bars I also hope will last a while with the scraping you suggest.
@@brianmcg321thanks for the idea but i used a plastic scraper to get all that off with a peace of cardboard large enough to cover the grill top and that worked great with zero damage to the underside lid of the grill. But, I probably should get a pressure washer though might come in handy 1 day.
I wish this video was updated. First, you don't clean the outside before you get to the grimmy inside, that is just dumb. Second you say you need "mild window cleaner" but you never actually use it. The list of items required is ripped through much too quickly to be able to write them down. You show the cleaning with this tiny little bucket, you really need one of those wide-mouth budkets to clean the grates.
I imagine the window cleaner is for the shininess of the paint, in the other video of cleaning the charcoal grill they use window cleaner at the end to shine the paint. and it does work.
What a scam. They start with a dirty, used grill and finish with brand new clean grill (parts) so it looks so easy. Meanwhile, you'll never get your grill that clean, ever, again.
I felt so scared and alone thinking I had a dirty grill, but then he reassured me that other people have dirty grills too. Now I can face the world.

mine never looks that clean. but I do get all the chunks and scrape everything down. Then preheat the grill extra long before cooking on it again
What kind of soap do you use in the soapy water? I know that dish soap can harm a lot of finishes.

Can I just spray degreaser all over it, scrub it and hose it down??🤷🏻♂️
What about Easy off oven cleaner? Works well inside ovens.
Great video
I think a good idea after cleaning is to run it all the way up in temp for 10 to 15 minutes to burn off excess grease and allow it to drip down
That is what I do every couple of years after I give it a good cleaning.
Can you just use easy off cold oven cleaner for most of this.
“Now if your grill is dirty like this”
Opens grill, grill is spotless.
What you need is Simple Green, a grill brush, soap and water, scouring pad and a spray hose.

Their beauty is functional, like the SS flavor bars I also hope will last a while with the scraping you suggest.
mine has gotten rusty
Good video
Think I’m just going to order all new parts lol
option 2. roll the entire mess over to the neighbors driveway. take it all apart. blast with pressure washer. done.
"Now if your grill is dirty like this" opens grill lid and realize his doesnt have excessive peeling inside like my lid has lol! 😅
That’s built up grease and smoke. Use a pressure washer to get that off.
@@brianmcg321thanks for the idea but i used a plastic scraper to get all that off with a peace of cardboard large enough to cover the grill top and that worked great with zero damage to the underside lid of the grill. But, I probably should get a pressure washer though might come in handy 1 day.
Why not just use a pressure washer?
HD offers, in Miami, free assembly. Of course, then you have to get the assembled sucker home!
These procedures might work if most people kept their mobile Weber grill in their garage but most people don't they leave it outside to rust and burn
I wish this video was updated. First, you don't clean the outside before you get to the grimmy inside, that is just dumb. Second you say you need "mild window cleaner" but you never actually use it. The list of items required is ripped through much too quickly to be able to write them down. You show the cleaning with this tiny little bucket, you really need one of those wide-mouth budkets to clean the grates.
I imagine the window cleaner is for the shininess of the paint, in the other video of cleaning the charcoal grill they use window cleaner at the end to shine the paint. and it does work.
He cleaned the lid with it... pay attention
Would be more helpful if your bbq was actually dirty.
You shouldn't wait 5 years to clean your gril.
That is not dirty at all, I need a tutorial on how to clean off 1-inch grease stalactites 🎉
What a scam. They start with a dirty, used grill and finish with brand new clean grill (parts) so it looks so easy. Meanwhile, you'll never get your grill that clean, ever, again.
I just let mine get so dirty until I have to buy a new one.
Anyone else glad they didn’t push their spray grill cleaner?
That grill is not dirty.
Already lost me on cleaning the exterior first lol
Yep... that should be the LAST thing to do.
Can't I just put all those removable parts in the dishwasher
This guy and his warm soapy water
Clean the outside, then set the dirty inside parts right on the freshly cleaned stainless steel 😂😂
Has anyone tried putting these parts in a dishwasher?
They would probably rust, not something I suggest 😊
