How to Clean a Weber Gas Grill | Gas Grill Cleaning Tips

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Cleaning your gas grill is an effective way to reduce the chance that you will have a grease fire. Every year thousands of grills catch on fire resulting in some deaths and millions in property damage. Cleaning your Weber gas grill doesn't have to be difficult or time consuming with these easy steps.
Avoid the trap of saying that grime is "seasoning" and the only reason your grilled food tastes the way it does. Built up grime can lead to grease fires and a burnt carbon taste when what you really want is to have the juices hit the flavorizer bars and create thin wispy smoke. The only way to do that is to keep that grill clean. You spent a lot of money on your grill. You might as well make it last.

    Instead of buying the aluminum trays, I lined the one that came with the grill with aluminum foil that way I don’t have to buy trays. One roll of aluminum foil is way cheaper than a set of trays. 😉 Thanks for sharing btw.

    The nice thing about propane grills is you don't have to worry about your fuel getting wet and they double as an oven without making everything taste smokey. Hopefully you won't need it in an emergency.

    Scrunched up aluminum foil works almost as good as a wire brush to clean grill grates. You can use tongs to hold the foil if you clean the grill after you have burnt of any stuck food after grilling.

    My first Weber bought at Sears last me 21 years with simple maintenance. I gave it to the guys who worked for us at our home. I bought a Weber Genesis that I have owned for 8 years. I am loving the grill. Keep it clean and have never needed to replace a part. I wish I could find a brush to clean the inside of the tubes because I am starting to get some uneven heating. The tubes are in great condition and clean with spider vents clean but still playing checkers with the food to keep it even. The Weber is worth the money as it keeps its looks and function better than any grill I have ever owned. I am an avid griller for over 50 years.

    When I bought my grill, I thought the grates should be installed with the thin grates up, but they are actually designed to be installed flat side up. Don't know why Weber went with that design, but it definitely cuts back on the aesthetics of traditional grill marks. Their older grills have grates that are installed flat side down.

    They are intended to be reversible. Flat side up for higher temp - steaks, burgers, etc. that you want to make pretty lines and crosses, and for searing. Pointed/thinner side up for lower temp longer cooking items and for things that tend to stick - fish, marinated chicken drumsticks, sausages, etc. I'm a newbie. This is right out of the Weber instruction manual. I keep my left grill (where the searing station is) with flat side up and the right grill with thinner side up. Different food types go on their appropriate grill. But of course I would flip one or the other when planning to make a lot of one type of food.

I already have a newer Weber charcoal grill which is easy to clean and thought maybe I would add another gas grill but no thanks. Most people just leave all of that grease and just clean the grates which just attracts insects and rodents to your backyard. The flattop griddle is the way to go, 5-7 minute cleanup and done. Not to mention much cheaper, half the price.

    That's one of the tough parts because of the texture of the grill. That's where some people would try oven cleaner, but you might get it off with a paste of half dish soap half baking soda. Scrub it in and let it sit for a few minutes. It may take some elbow grease, but it can remove some of it.

    That comes down to personal preference and how much you plan to use it. I just took a new grill out of the box and cooked on it the first time. It'll never be the same and that is OK. If you get your grill spotless it'll look about the same after a couple of cooks.

    After all of the scraping on the inside, it you want to super clean it. get a large disposable aluminum pan. Fill the about 2" of water. Place on the grates and turn all of the burners on high. You will steam clean the inside. It will need another wipe down, but wait for it to cool. If you have many years of gunk, you may have to repeat this.

    The Genesis Ii came out in 2017 and this one is the Genesis E-330. You are probably out of warranty, but if you give Weber the Serial number, they should be able to sell you the parts. 3rd party is probably a bit cheaper though.

  • @GrillTopExperience

    Weber says not to line the bottom tray with foil. They are concerned it will keep the fat from draining out and cause more fires. At the end of every cook, I'll turn the heat back up to burn of the grease on the bars and that can help keep things from building up too much. You just have to be careful with that. I cooked 30 hamburgers and it was pretty greasy and ended up with a small grease fire.

    The first thing to do is brush them from side to side with clean grill brush. Then the next step is try a pin or a paperclip to see if you can dislodge whatever is stick in there. If that doesn't work, it's probably about time to replace them. Regular maintenance can keep them flowing nicely since it's much harder to start from a really dirty grill.

    Absolutely use your hose on the highest setting. spray everything down with equal parts vinegar and water let sit for 5 minutes. Then hose off everything thoroughly. If you're worried about excess water (I guess you don't ever put a steam pan in there when roasting meats or vegetables?). Take a leaf blower and dry it off thoroughly. Fire up all burners for about 5 minutes. Re-season all your grill grates Absolutely empty and hose out your Ash pan as well. Now you are done. Simple!

    A good grill should last a long time. You see a lot of people that are still using the original Genesis. You'll have to replace some parts like the burners and flavorizer bars, but the body should last if you keep it covered. I managed to cook on my $100 grill for nearly 8 years, but probably should have tossed it after 5!

    If you have the pointy side up the space between the bars is wider and your are more likely to have things sink in and stick to the grill. Weber says flat side up, but I've seen plenty of people that make it work just fine with the pointy side up.

    You forgot to mention the most important part - to clean the “anti spider net” or whatever you call it. It’s right below the knobs, on burner tube. If it’s blocked, burners wont get enough air and you’ll get “dancing” flames. Clean it with a toothbrush once in a while and you’ll get constant efficiency of the grill.
