Arnie, another tip is once you have all your ashes in the Amazon box you can tape it up and leave it on the front porch, it usually disappears within 3 days, or put the taped box visible in the seat of the unlocked vehicle or bed of truck with tailgate down and go shop at the mall and someone will usually take that trash right off your hands.

As mentioned in one other comment thread, save the larger briquettes and add them to your chimney for the next cook. I layer the bottom of the chimney with new briquettes, then load the used ones up. No sense in wasting good charcoal just because it's a bit smaller than a full-sized briquette. The smaller ones also heat up quicker!

Great point. Those were awfully large and nearly full-use briquettes he tossed in the trash box.

I’m right there with you. I’ve been on a Primo Oval XL since 2014. Buy once, cry once. It’s great and all, like a tank, but I do miss the simplicity of a Weber Kettle. A Weber also grills and smokes very well. (it is just going to chew through a lot more charcoal than my Primo) I think the Weber Kettle needs to be everyone’s first grill after they try a propane grill and see its limitations. I was concerned that he was using an onion to clean the grill, but it turned out he was using a Weber grill brush first which is great. I have never had a single stray bristle when using this type of grill brush. My most recent brush is from Nexgrill as it was convenient at the time. The problem is that the plastic handle is two-piece and broke almost instantly. I will be going back to the Weber grill brush. (the long one) Do not underestimate your basic Weber Kettle. I would go for a model with the ash catcher though.

@adamcoe Жыл бұрын

Having a spritzer or spray bottle with oil in it (i like avocado) is nice as well, I always give a quick spritz (don't need a lot!) of oil to my Weber grates after I hit it with the brush, to keep stuff from sticking (and/or to make the small bit of stuff that does stick easy to remove). I also use one of those natural bristle brushes to clean, to avoid the possibility of metal shards. I find they work just as well and are often cheaper to buy. And definitely the onion thing, love to rub the grates with an onion right before putting meat on, and toss the onion on the coals. Magic.

I just use a pumice stone (often called grill stones online) to easily take off the crud from the previous cook on my stainless grates on weber. I just do a quick few passes while the chimney is lighting up and then spray with the hose to get the stone dust off. The pumic stones are the most effective way I've ever used to clean my grates.

I have an older model kettle I bought used probably 15 years ago. It has wooden handels and the three spin vents on the bottom. Its holding up very well except for the wooden handels. I dump out all the ash in my garden then put the kettle on its side for a hose out. I hit the lid also. Probably not a popular method using water. I let it dry out in the sun and usually only do this when I useing it that day. No rust anywhere.

@tts626 Жыл бұрын

I've taken to reusing my coals, even the little pieces. A $5 piece of perforated sheet aluminum from the home store does the trick. Cut a bit for the chimney. Lay out some over the bottom grate. Plenty of air flow and easy enough to shape to keep the coals to one side if I want some indirect heat. When I want to start a new fire, I can pick all the coals up with the sheet aluminium, give 'em a shake, and pop them right back into the chimney to get lit again. The little coals light a lot faster in the chimney too with no starter fluid, just a wad of paper and a couple stick matches. No fuss, no waste.

I heat the grate so it cooks any residue brittle. Then I use a bamboo brush or coconut husk to brush it down for absolutely no metal. The coconut husk is just a big piece of husk.

I also use a plastic puddy knife to scrape my grill, then use a paint brush to sweep the ashes through the holes at the bottom. I then wipe everything down inside and out and the bottom grate with soap and water. if I want to do a deep cleaning, I will use oven cleaner to scrub the old grease build up. Once I start the fire and heat up the top grate I scrub it with the wire brush, then follow up with the foil. I also use a paper towel and half an onion to finish cleaning the grate, but I use olive oil on the onion. This also helps from the meat from sticking to the grate. Have you ever tried the Weber grate grill cleaner?

I used to clean exactly as you do, but I still had slight stomach upset from the food I cooked next. (Yes, I have a bit of a gut problem.) Nowadays, I place the cooking grill on the concrete driveway after brushing with the grill brush. Then I spray it heavily with Walmart heavy duty ammoniated oven cleaner and then cover it with a clean, heavy trash can liner for about fifteen minutes. My grill brush also gets the ammonia treatment. Next I spray the grill and the brush with a "jet" nozzle on the garden hose, which removes a bit more debris. This method kills the remaining bacteria and prevents fungus in case the Weber sits for a very long time before the next use. (Note: The Walmart oven cleaner is noticeably stronger than the name brands.)
