To clean a Weber gas grill, start by preheating the grill on high for 15 minutes and brushing the grates with a Weber Stainless Steel Grill Brush. For a more thorough cleaning, use the Weber Grate Grill Cleaner and Weber Heavy Duty Grate Grill.
Cleaning the inside of your gas barbecue involves disconnecting your gas tank and consulting your owner’s manual for directions. Maintaining your grill is crucial to reduce the risk of a grease fire and help it last a long time. A deep-cleaning like this should be done 1-2 times per year, depending on the surface type.
Poor grill cleaning can lead to low temperatures, uneven heat, and food sticking to the grates. A simple monthly maintenance plan is an easy and inexpensive way to keep your grill clean and safe to use. Check out the links below for maintenance tips for your Weber model.
Inside of a gas grill, clean the control panel by pulling the knobs away from the control and spraying the grate cleaner inside the cookbox and on the Flavorizer bars. Wipe down the cookbox, drip tray, and bottom tray with a brush when needed.
Preheat the grill on high for 15 minutes, with the lid closed, and brush the grates clean with a Weber Stainless Steel Grill Brush. Remove easily removable parts (including gas and igniter battery) and spray the insides with Weber grate cleaner. Turn all burners to HIGH and burn-off the grates for 10-15 minutes. Use a grill brush to clean the top side of the grates, or use a steel wire brush soaked in water to clean the inside of the grill box and the hood or lid. Dampen the interior with your chosen cleaner or bottle of soap and water, then scrub with steel wool.

With all the grilling action going on it can be easy to forget some of the most important parts of grilling–cleaning and maintenance.
I had rust spots start to show on the front SS control panel where the knobs are near the hood flat part. Weber is sending a new panel. Did some research since these are Stainless Steel look really and not good stainless, if you let some grease drippings stay on for a while it can rust underneath. Who of thought! Test for real stainless with a magnet! My grill exhaust hood is real stuff! Weber not so much!
I received a new grill cover for the cook box but the pins will not come out to be able to replace it. The cotter pins are out but the pin wont move. Tried with a hammer, plyers and have been using WD-40, any other suggestions would be very appreciated. Not very handy but would hate to pay for a service call for something that should be straight forward – thank you!
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 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.
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.
Take this article 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.
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’.
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.
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
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 wish this article 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.
Waste of time to wash parts down with cleaner. It just accelerates corrosion and can add funky flavors the first few times you grill after cleaning. Just scrape off the junk with the proper brushes and leave the patina or staining. It does nothing to hurt the longevity or performance of the grill. Grills aren’t meant to look perfect inside. Dont’ be one of those OCD pricks that clean everything to death.
i have had MANY MANY grills in my life .. and weber is NOT the best, but it is the most dollar per dollar best deal one can make !! they are strong, durable, nice, well done little bastard on the road …. you can get a better built and stronger VIKING unit., but you have to plunk $7000 out of your pocket. Mine for $1400 (dont know the model) is a terrific unit … not associated or related any form with weber company …
