Caring for your Weber grill will ensure you continue to get great results every time for many years. Both charcoal and gas grills are relatively easy to maintain and doing so will maximise your grill’s performance and prolong its working life. Here are our helpful tips on how to keep your Weber grill functional and efficient.
WEBER CHARCOAL GRILL: CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
Charcoal grills are easy to maintain. To ensure yours performs at its best, clean regularly as described below.
CHARCOAL GRILLER’S TOOLBOX
Brass wire grill brush
Fine steel wool pads
Mild dish soap
Sponge or dishcloth
EVERYTIME YOU GRILL
- Clean the cooking grate — after the coals have died out, brush off any loose particles on the warm (not hot) cooking grate with a brass grill brush or a handful of crumpled aluminium foil. For more thorough cleaning, use a wet, soapy, fine steel wool pad with only slight pressure. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
- Remove cold ashes from the bottom of the kettle as this prevents airflow problems next time you grill. Ashes also absorb moisture, which may cause premature rusting of the One-Touch Cleaning System.
As needed
WEBER GAS GRILL: CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
Gas grills are relatively easy to maintain. There are steps to periodically take to ensure years of hassle-free performance. We cover them all below:
GAS GRILLER’S TOOLBOX
Brass wire grill brush
Fine steel wool pads
Mild dish soap
Sponge or dishcloth
1″ putty knife
Fitted foil Catch Pan Liners
EVERYTIME YOU GRILL
- Clean the cooking grate — before or after grilling, burn off any residue by simply turning the grill on high until the smoke stops, then brush the cooking grates with a brass wire grill brush. Please note: cast iron cooking grates require slightly different care.
As needed
Never use oven cleaner on your gas grill. Oven cleaner is not friendly to the painted surfaces of your grill; it can remove the paint.b
