Here are a couple of tips that make assembly slightly easier ru-vid.comUgkxCx5fHawkK9OoV-ojFrY8JLnZrFwAmvUt . 1) One person can assemble, but if you have a buddy to help, it will make it go faster - especially steps 1-3 and 8 (the legs aren't heavy but can be difficult to hold while screwing things in). Step 8, 1st part will take some time unless you have two more hands OR are really lucky. 2) Use a socket wrench! 3) Step 7, 3rd part - the flame carry over tube has an open side, MAKE SURE THE OPEN SIDE IS FACING THE FRONT. If it's facing the back, the tube won't work. 4) Step 10, 3rd part - if you don't have small hands (I don't, they're gigantic) getting the nut on is really difficult (but not impossible). It took me about 4 hours to assemble, but I took a "union break" every 60-90 minutes and ate a quick lunch. Also, I'm really OCD so I took my time, looked at the instructions carefully, and cleaned up as I went.
In case anyone has a Spirit with rusted burner tubes, Weber should replace them for free since they are under a 10-year warranty. I just had Weber replace my burner tubes for free, even though my Spirit was slightly over 10 years old. Great customer service!
Thank you so much for the video, as I was about to toss the gas grill that came with the house. The previous owner hard wired it to the house which is super great. No more hauling gas tanks. I couldn't for the life of me get 2 rusted screwed off to replace the burners but this was a life saver. Thank you so much. I cleaned it up bought replacement parts to include the igniter and OMG Say What it has a battery. GEES that was all I needed. Thank you for your help ....There is nothing like a great DAD
Just picked up a free used Weber Spirit E-310 grill identical to yours that had NEVER been cleaned. After taking it mostly apart, I'm now in the process of doing a deep clean. Easy-Off oven cleaner works very well on the porcelain coated pieces. The vinegar solution is much less effective at removing charred on grease. I am using our dishwasher with detergent (for the parts that fit) and then using a 75% vinegar / 25% water solution with a little better results. Thanks for posting this video!
@@shiningstar2903 I had no problems with nasty smoke because after everything was easy offed, everything was washed with soap and plenty of water. The Easy-Off can be harsh on the aluminum. I did not use it on any parts that were on the outside of the grill.
I used your video to completely rehaul my Weber Spirit grill. It was a ton of work, but very satisfying in the end. A new grill costs $700+, but with non OEM parts, I was able to fix everything for around $80. Thank you so much for making the video! 🤟
That shop vac hose will stink forever. I made the mistake of using a shop vac to clean my grill. I had to replace the shop vac hose because of the smell.
This was a very helpful video that inspired me to reno our old Weber Spirit II E210 gas grill. The only trouble I ran into was the "heat deflector" that came with our unit. It has to be put down under the "burner tubes" and then the "flavorizer bars" (four of them) are placed over them. I found a different video (a Weber piece) that showed where the deflector was supposed to go so I'm good. This was still a very useful video.
Really well done video, thank you! I have a similar grill that is used 4x/week that is looking pretty sleazy. You have given me inspiration, thank you! Excellent instructions, great attention to details and just well done overall.
I am having difficulty putting back together the thin tube that goes on the top and through the holes in the Burner Tubes. The holes don't line up. Help!
Thank you - we thought paint was flaking off of our cover and it was going to be unsafe! I was about to post it for sale as a refurb on craigslist. Thanks for this video!
This is great. One of the reasons I bought the Weber was the die-cast aluminum construction which is so much more durable than the stamped steel construction of other brands. It makes this kind of cleaning possible.
Definitely! I was surprised at how much this cleaning overhaul brought it back to life. It’s 10 years old and looks new! Thanks for the comment and glad you like the Weber.
I just got a Genesis II LX S-640 for free, and this is helping me clean it out, thanks. Brother-in-law was trying to burn off some extra gunk inside and accidentally started a fire. It melted some of the little plastic parts, but most importantly, it melted a bunch of the igniter wiring. Anything I should look out for while rebuilding this grill?
when I deep cleaned mine, I realized that there was a special metal coating on the inside of my grill so I didn't scrape anything. I just used the soft side of a sponge and elbow grease to get most of it done and just left the stubborn parts alone. I clean my grill about once a month. once you get everything clean like that, the only thing you really have to do is suck up all the seasoning and wipe out the grease.
That was an incredible job. But the work involved in keeping a gas grill clean is the main reason why I stick with charcoal grills. They are 100x easier to clean.
I need to replace my burner tubes. Tried to take off the bolts and they were all burnt to a crisp/corroded like these. Went to the Tube for the work-around, and found this. Great video!
Great video, thanks for posting. Question: I have an old off-brand grill bought at BJ's, do you know if the Weber parts (or other grill parts) are universal and interchangeable? Thanks.
@@FullDadMode I haven't done a cleaning on mine in over 10 years. I know I'm in for a big chore. Just bought all the replacement parts and cleaning supplies.
Google can't believe you waited so long to clear this, especially since the drop pan hole was blocked! Suspect the wife used the grill not you! Only reason I can think of to explain grills condition! 🤔
3 hours because I had to set up camera shots and figure out how to remove & replace burners. Not bad for full end to end deep clean. 2 hrs if remade in that condition today. 60-90min to clean depending on condition, without replacing burners and infighter.

I have already done this on my Weber, but wanted you to know your video is excellent. Step by step and straight forward. Wish I had seen it before I started. Well done.
