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! 🤟
Where did you get the non OEM replacement parts?

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!
Here are a couple of tips that make assembly slightly easier ruclips.net/user/postUgkxCx5fHawkK9OoV-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.
Good tips. Like that you used vinegar & dish soap rather than harsh chemicals. Thanks
I’ve owned mine for over 11 years doing a refurb this week. Thanks !
Outstanding! Straight to the point , well executed & explained
Thanks so much for this video. Helped me save money and from filling up the land fill! Instructions were clear and easy to follow.
Excellent video…I’m amazed at how quickly grease builds up in these grills.
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.
This is one of the most complete cleaning videos for this BBQ! Plus it is my exact BBQ! Thank you for posting!
Thanks so much for the video. I have the exact same grill and just cleaned and rebuilt it in a very short time after watching your video.
Very satisfying, Very helpful. Looking to do mine this year on a 10 year old Weber.
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.
Thank you! Amazing how well they last and can be restored if neglected
Thank you man …this is a huge help as I’m about to tackle cleaning up and repairing my Spirit 310n!
This was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks so much!
Well done and very well explained!!
Excellent and easy to follow. Thank you!
This is a truly excellent video! Thank you!
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.
Nicely done and well explained. Thanks.
Great video! Super informative and very well done.
OUTSTANDING video!!
Great video - thanks for posting this
So helpful- very instructive- thanks
my man! nicely done and thank you!!
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!
Excellent video! Thanks.👍🏻
Awesome video man. This Video Fixed my Problem. Thank you so much.
This is a great video! Thank you!
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!
Outstanding!
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.
Great video. ❤
I just bought one like that used. I love your video and I will do it exactly like you did. Thanks so much…
Awesome good luck and glad to help!
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!
Will easy off residue become corrosive smoke once it's heated?
@@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.
Thanks for saving me some serious heartache with removing rear screws! I’ll just remove from front!
I just ordered new burners and flavorizers. Can't wait to make my grill look great again!
If you want to get your stainless steel area like new try some “barkeepers friend” cleaning product 👍
Thanks I’m ready for another deep clean this spring so I’ll try that!
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?
My next project. This is very informational
One should never disregard a weber grill and opt for a new one! They always have more life!
Agree! I was pleasantly surprised at how well it cleaned up and lasts for decades
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.
Sorry I don’t know. Check the item details in the product description for parts you’re looking at to see if compatible.
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.
Where did you put the water you cleaned it with?
i own a weber spirit similar to this one. i being using my pressure washer and 409 degreaser. am i doing something wrong by doing it my way?
What did you do with the water you soaked everything in?
Please help. Followed the video to a T. Replaced all burner tubes. Put it all back and the grill won’t light. No gas is getting to the burner tubes.
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.
Well done! You do a better job of ongoing maintenance than I do. New Year’s resolution next year will be to keep up with it.
Awsome. I changed the flavorisers and top on mine. Ill do the burners next
I would replace the drip pan as soon as it gets 3/4 full of grease. And I also use the putty knife on the inside when ever I notice any build up.
Definitely good maintenance tips! Thanks!
Weber burners are thinner gauge metal than the Napoleon ones.
What paint to use if you have rust on gray?
Check here for painting consideration- doesn’t give you color but type to look for. consumer-care.weber.com/hc/en-us/articles/360023605732-Where-can-I-buy-touch-up-paint-for-my-grill-
I clean the inside of the grill about every 5-6 cooks. Especially if it burgers or ribeye. Just a simple scrap with a plastic putty knife.
That’s good advice. I let it go again and need to do another deep clean this summer 🤦♂️
How long did this take real time?
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.
@@FullDadMode Thanks so much for your quick reply 🙏
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.
Couldn’t you just soak the hose and clean it?
Not the Maxwell AA battery lol
Nice job. I’m going to do the same to mine, which is also pretty ugly.
I need to do mine again this spring…I let it go too long again without cleaning 😞. I’ll post an update
@@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.
@6:07 - I should call her.
this one doesnt look like it have been cleaned at all since new....
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! 🤔
Dumb comment.
Yikes. Maybe clean your grill more than once every 10 years 😕
Haha guilty! I’m behind again and will clean this summer. Waiting 10 years won’t happen again
Great vid but please don’t neglect it again that was awful.
Thank you! It’s been two years since and I need another deep clean but defiantly now as bad!
2 words.. Pressure Washer
Bleh! That’s nasty.
