I use foil over the entire lower grate, punch holes in for airflow, just keeps things nice and clean. Also I like to use veg oil or lard on the upper grate to keep things rust free.

@tomevans5458 6 лет назад

Found some plastic putty knives at the $ store. Use those to scrape all the debris down into container. Also use the $ store paint brushes to get all the fine dust/ash into the ash catcher. Love my Weber and it is worth the extra work and time to keep it nice.

@CookingWithRy 6 лет назад

Definitely worth a little TLC :)

Exactly what i bought from the $ store. Including cooking oil.... for my grates and oil the newspapers to start the coals

@sting1111 5 лет назад

Ya you don’t want to use metal to scrape your grill. You will harm the enamel finish. I would power wash and apply a cooking spray. This is my opinion. I have been doing this for years and no rust on a 1980 Weber kettle.

@poliscope 4 года назад

@@robertmoreno14 Yes. Use a razor blade or plastic putty knife. You will not harm the enamel. But you should never, ever drill through a Weber for any reason. It will void the warranty. You can also run the thermometer wire up through the bottom vents with plenty of slack to get to the thermometer base. Simple Green first, then chemicals. Just patience and a friendly scraper will do.

@stevep2325 3 года назад

I use wooden kitchen spatulas for cleaning the inside and also the grates. Constant rubbing on the grates makes for grooves in the spatula and then forms to the grate. Works great!!!

@jamesoberg7662 4 года назад

Every time I use my Weber kettle (in the summer) I use a 1” or 2” paint brush to get to ash into the ash hopper and then wash the kettle with water and I put it in the sun to dry! I’ve had no problems doing this for many years.. In the winter I just brush and dump the ash bin.

@LaOwlett 2 года назад

If you want the most life out of your grill, It's best to do this while it's warm or on a hot day, and will plastic or steel wool. Part of what prevents your steel from rusting it it's smooth surface, and you could create pits using a wire brush. You should also clean it out after each use (or the very next morning if you're having a party) and treat your grill top like a seasoned cast iron skillet.

@lovedbygod7777 Год назад

Does that mean we should oil it with cooking oil?

@LaOwlett Год назад

@@lovedbygod7777 I would use avocado oil, because it has the highest smoke point.

@TheFlatlander440 6 лет назад

Good tip there RY. I do the same after about 10 uses. The problem I have here during the winter months, the drippings collect at the bottom and freeze up the vents making it very hard to adjust and clean. I simply use my torch to thaw out the iced up vents (top and bottom) then use a modified paint scraper (I bent one to the curvature of the kettle) and an old paint brush. Works like a champ. Thanks for sharing.

@CookingWithRy 6 лет назад

Yeah you have those low, low temps to deal with.

@johnnyloveit901 3 года назад

My favorite scraper for a Weber kettle is a metal wok spatula. It seems like its is perfectly shaped for the job. I also like to use the Lodge plastic scraper. The Lodge scraper can also be used to clean stainless steel pot after they have soaked. Once in a while I will use a razor blade.

@frederickvanpelt6393 5 лет назад

Thanks for the post, great idea however I personally wouldn't scrape the inside of my kettle with a metal scraper, there are many ways to use plastic or wood and not risk damage to the surface

I sometimes use plastic scrapers, but I use my kettle so much that the buildup below often gets a little difficult and needs a proper beating with metal :)

@CookingWithRy 5 лет назад

@shachar2 4 года назад

you should get into the habit of cleaning your grill after each use. the same way you do with dishes. you do not want to get it spotless clean, but just a little so there won't be a build up and so it won't be a chore to avoid down the line

@WR3ND 4 года назад

I do this but before each cook instead of after. It's quick work and doesn't make it a hassle or bother later on. The first thing to really rust up on me was the One-Touch assembly on the underside of the kettle basin itself. Learned the hard way that it should probably be replaced once a year or so if you use the grill as much as I do and leave it out in the elements.

@WR3ND 4 года назад

No need for a big scraper either. I just use a thick haired stain brush and/or the grill wire brush. It's mostly all just ash in there and not much grease buildup. I do use drip trays through when doing slow and low that isn't cooking over hot coals.

@emmgeevideo 4 года назад

Shachar Petrushka I have a smoker with a steel grease shield. I put aluminum foil on it and change every week. I vacuum the ash out every week. I wipe out the inside with citrus cleaner. I scrub the grates. Once a week is easy to do and you’re not fighting the buildup Ry just showed. I think it’s really worth it.

@JoeNathan42420 3 года назад

I usually (very lightly) use a blow torch to catch (everything that will) on fire and once it goes out I use a brush that I had one of my iron worker brother's make me about 10 years ago on a job we were on. Its aluminum and curved to pretty much the same as the bottom of a standard grill like the one you show in the video. About 4"wide 5 or 6 long lil holes drilled into it with cable strands in each one and bolt/welded on the back holding everything together and of course rebar for the handle. It's a piece of art honestly. IBEW 16

@chrisbcritter6112 4 года назад

Thanks so much for this. I've been watching other cleaning videos and here are so many Comments about "I would never clean my grill! It removes 30 years of Seasoning!" Some mentions their father or grandpa telling them to never clean a grill, others compare it to the seasoning on an iron skillet. My understanding is, seasoning on an iron skillet (or wok) is to create a non-stick surface. These people seem to think the ash and corrosion contributes to the flavor in some way. Reminds me of "Car Talk," where, "Well, Dad told me to never put 50% water in the radiator, it'll rust out, just use 100% anti-freeze!" and such.

@odom2142 4 года назад

Chris B Critter The seasoning not only improves the flavor of the food; it also keeps a protective layer over the metal to prevent rust. That’s why the outside of an iron skillet will show rust but the seasoned inside won’t.

@Jeff_Seely 2 года назад

Yes sir you are absolutely 100% correct. Ash, or more specifically, carbon is a hydroscopic substance and attracts moisture readily. It would be better that you remove it as quickly as you can than to let it sit because carbon will pull the moisture straight out of the air and attract it. And then what happens? Water and carbon create carbonic acid which will eat those unprotected metallic surfaces like a hungry pitbull at a dinner table of ribs. This is a very good video and I am glad that I came by it! 100% truth! Blessings to you!

@RaspberryRockOffGridCabin 6 лет назад

I think you're right. I need one of these webbers. Have you considered some kind of drill brush for cleaning?

@WR3ND 4 года назад

The One-Touch System was the first to rust up on me and rust solid to its own assembly, not the basin itself. Problem is, when I accidentally bent one of the wing scrapers, there was no way I was getting it out whole. Ended up bending the bottom of the kettle trying to turn the One-Touch handle to dislodge its keying ridge. Long story short, I've got a new Weber Premium on order (I went with a Crimson one this time) and will switch out the One-Touch System maybe once a year or so, and I've already got an extra one now ready to go.

@WR3ND 4 года назад

I've brushed out the bottom of the kettle before every cook/fuel burn session with a thick haired stain brush, about once or twice a week on average, to really keep it quite clean, by the way. Just part of my routine, and only takes a minute or so instead of turning into a hassle later on. Even so, I was surprised how rusted the One-Touch assembly was when I flipped the grill over to try and replace it.

thurman I think covers are counterproductive. Rain won’t collect in the bottom if uncovered. All the covers do it trap moisture longer.

@chuckdaman1509 Год назад

If your grill is porcelain coated, there is no problem in using a liquid, just dry it off when your done.

@CookingWithRy Год назад

Over time grills can get scratches in the coating, and there are often untreated metal parts, so I try to play it careful.

@williamfrazier3822 Год назад

I simply wipe my kettle down after every cook. The next time before I cook, I double check and make sure I empty the ash catcher. Instead of hours of scraping and cleaning, I spend 10-15 mins each time and have NEVER had rust and the other benefit is my kettles still look NEW!!

@odom2142 4 года назад

Are you sure that there is moisture in the grease buildup? Oil and water don’t mix. If anything, a little buildup is going to block moisture, just like how a well-seasoned iron skillet prevents rust. I just scrape the flaky excess off with a plastic puddy knife. Metal scrapers will put scratches into the enamel, and moisture could get in to those scratches.

@CookingWithRy 4 года назад

Sometimes the grease mixed with ash and it almost acts like a sponge. Just something to watch for 😊

@ramanaasrikandarajah990 8 месяцев назад

@agfa663 Год назад

The reason you don't want to use water, is that ash reacts to water and turns it into lye water and that is very caustic. That will corrode the metal.
