- It's time to clean your Weber Kettle grill. In this video, I'll go over why it's so much easier to clean a charcoal grill vs a gas grill and the equipment I use including a pressure washer. I'll also talk about why I don't over-clean my Weber grills to keep a good seal around the rim of the lids for low and slow and to keep my grates non-stick. Sometimes carbon build-up acts to your advantage.

I did a deep restoration clean when I got my Weber Performer for $50 on Craigslist about 12 years ago. I think it's time to do the second deep restoration clean at the end of this summer. I do brush the cooking grate before each use and of course empty out the one-touch cleaning system container whenever it gets full.
I used a couple of cheap plastic putty knives to scrape most of the gunk off the inner kettle and lid. Then I spray and soak with Simple Green and follow up with stiff plastic bristle brush and serious elbow grease. Then I used a razor blade to do the detail cleaning on all the porcelain. I use an SOS pad to clean all the aluminum parts followed by a wet rag heavily dowsed with Bar Keeper's Friend. I finish off with dish soap and soft scrubber and rinse. It ends up looking almost new and ready for a decade of use.
I only use charcoal -- although I tried a gas grill once and sold it on Craigslist after about 3 uses -- I really hated everything about it, never again.

Great job on the clean up. Since I also use the kettle as a smoker, I like to remove the vent wings in the bottom and bend them out just a little before reinstalling them. It is common for ash or a small piece of charcoal to get lodged underneath one of the wings of the sweeper which really messes with temperature control.
Great tip!
I got my kettle from Facebook marketplace for $25. I did a deep scrubbing on it and replaced the grates and it looked amazing. Now every spring when I bring out the kettle, I use dawn power wash spray and a scrub daddy to clean the outside and inside, then bar keeper's friend and a scrub daddy to clean both grates.
That’s a heck of a price!
@@tomwadek yeah I love the thing it got me into grilling and cooking. It's a green kettle with a one touch sweeper. It has a few rust spots on the lid but besides that it looks great and works perfectly!
After 3 - 4 years I had carbon build-up flaking off the inside of the lid that required a little scraping/brushing to clean up. At first I thought it was the black porcelain but it was just carbon.
Eventually it does need to be clean up a bit. Thanks for sharing.
From my time as a motorcycle mechanic I remember the phrase "A working level of grease"😁 Which is a real thing but the n00b guys would say to avoid cleaning things.
😂
Reason you didn’t buy Weber with attached table?
No, I wanted the hinged lid design and diffuser plate
I won't use charcoal grills and haven't for 15 years! Charcoal is just wayyyyyy too expensive, and I actually think you get better taste from a propane grill.
