So you've pulled your grill out of storage and it's absolutely disgusting. It's time to give it a deep clean—here's everything you need and what to do.
Once you have the necessary tools, it’s time to open up your grill and marvel at the disgusting state you left it in. We got our hands on a particularly neglected grill for this demonstration; hopefully yours looks a little better.
If your grill runs on gas, make sure you’ve turned its fuel supply off at the source—that little knob should always be shut when your grill is not in use—and survey the damage. Weber grills often have a set of “flavorizer bars” above the burners that you’ll want to remove, for example. These parts may have a decent amount of rust, but as long as they don’t come in direct contact with food, that’s okay.
If you’re having a hard time getting some truly stubborn stuff out of your grill, spray it with some cleaner and get scraping.No matter how much you scrub, your grill will probably never look like it did the day you bought it, and that’s okay. The goal isn’t to get it looking shiny brand-new—your goal is to remove large deposits of grease and charred food that can negatively impact your grill’s performance.
You may, however, have to replace some components here and there—like, as Kolman mentioned, heat panels that have cracks or holes in them. And if your cast-iron grates are rusted to hell like the ones on the run-down model we cleaned, you can either strip and re-season them, or just grab some new ones—we opted for the latter.
