    Local TV fix-it guy Gus Gnorski's method was on a hot day, put big sponge in pie pan, saturate with ammonia, put inside grill and place lid on. Cover grill with large black plastic garbage bag (to keep the fumes inside) and leave out in hot sun all day. At end of day, clean up with water hose and a brush. Works great.

    To clean you Weber kettle grill, take a metal brush and scratch the bloody hell out of your Weber kettle grill. When done, you will realize that you’ve just ruined your Weber kettle grill and the you’ll probably run to the store to buy another Weber kettle grill. We love selling Weber kettle grills.

  • @stevenkirkpatrick8973

    You tell everybody to use a stainless steel wire brush to clean the inside of the bowl and then to follow up with a non-abrasive sponge. What do you think a sponge is going to do to the surface that the stainless steel wire brush hasn’t already done? A stainless steel wire brush is gonna be way more abrasive than any sponge.

  • @xordoom8467
    @xordoom8467 Před 3 měsíci +1

    Another way to remove the gunk without damaging or scratching any of the enamel is to use a Steamer with the scotch-Brite attachment, without almost any pressure the steam will melt\dissolve most of the gunk\grease within seconds and the Scotch-Brite helps with any stubborn gunk. You'll be done in half the time or faster using a steamer...

    wow this is a bit much. I live in Florid awhere our biggest concern is rust. Cleaning the grill is the easy part but, we use warm water with Dawn, a grill brush for the interior and a sponge on the enamel exterior. That's it. Scoop the ashes or dump them into a bin and we move on with life. This procedure is a bit over kill in my opinion. But hey, I'm not a pro.Our grill has lasted 5 or so yeaars and we use year around. I would appreciate some tips on rest proofing this thing though.

    All I do is occasionally scrape off the excess buildup with a plastic puddy knife. Any more cleaning than that and you’re removing the seasoning. The seasoning is protective against moisture and also makes the food taste better.

    With a slop sink, your grill cleaning chore is practically done.
    When done cooking, I carry my Jumbo Joe to the basement & place newspapers on the floor near the slop sink. I use Windex window cleaner, Palmolive dish detergent, SOS or Brillo pads, a sponge and some clean rags. NO grill brush.
    SOS pads to clean the cooking & charcoal grate. Rinsing them off with a sponge. I use the dish detergent to remove grime from the interior & exterior of the Jumbo Joe. And Windex to give it some sheen.

    Way too basic info my friend. I’ve had a few of these Weber kettle grills over many years. Most people don’t clean an already clean kettle. Doing what your doing with lots of buildup isn’t going to do much at all. Getting after it with a razor blade scraper after wetting it, and using some real elbow grease will get much better results. Thank you.
