I have a gaser, a Weber Genesis 300 series, the old model, in Stainless Steel
As we have had one heck of a coupla years, I have not had the energy to clean my poor baby for, oh, maybe 3 years or more even.
I decided last week, today is the day!
It took me 4 days, chipping away, literally, at all of the muck that had accumulated ... it was so bad, the grease tray under the cook box was completely FULL of crud!!!
Thankfully, it has been overcast and I was able to get everything pretty clean.
I was getting so frustrated with the cooking grates, I was this close to throwing in the towel and buying whole new set - $186 - NOPE!!!
I'm stubborn that way. I must have read 20 articles, watched 15 You Tube videos, on what products I should and should not be using, when finally I came across this guy on You Tube who said, "... you just plain and simple DON'T want everything to been as shiny and clean as they day you bought it. You invested all that time and effort to get a nice non-stick patina, why throw it away?"
AGREED!
So armed with a bucket of hot soapy-water, a paint scraper, an old spoon, a plastic putt knife - all for the cook box - a garbage bag, household ammonia and that green 3M scrubby pad for the cooking grates - and Weisman Stainless Steel Cleaner and Polish, oh, and a boatload of old, soft rags - I did it!
That's as good as it's gonna look and I promise to never neglect my poor baby ever again.
This grill is my dream come true, I promise to take better care of him.
