I’m doing my burn in right now on the Weber Spirit EX315. I did not pre clean the grates and flavorizer bars. At the max setting it’s about 600 degrees. I’m going to do an hour and a half burn in. Tomorrow I’ll hit the grates with soap and water. Do you think that’s sufficient to get rid of the manufacturing oils and chemicals?
I noticed a waxy like substance on the inner edge of the top lid where it meets the firebox after the burn in. It cleaned up with alcohol. Did you notice anything like that?
If you’ve already used the grill, there really isn’t any going back. But if you haven’t, you can always repeat everything if you’re really concerned. Also, you somewhat burn in every time you turn the grill on. The higher temps is just more effective.
Life saver thanx bro
Glad it was helpful!
Thank You
You're welcome

Considering that that is basically what I said to do in the video, just in a different order, it’s probably sufficient.

I did not, but I didn’t look around the firebox that closely.
First you butn the grill without any oil??
I accidentally skipped burn in and just cleaned the grates and seasoned it... do I need to do anything now?
