Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- We haven't done a complete an thorough clean of our grill in a few years. In this video we'll take you through our step by step process for doing a really deep clean on this grill to not only clean the grates, but get all of the rest of the grease, renderings, grim and grit. This took us a solid 2 hours from start to finish but really scratched that OCD itch!

Excellent video; thanks for the tips! I guarantee most of the grills you see on the side of the road for garbage pick up are due to folks not bothering to clean their grills. Some don't even cover them. The combination of those two will significantly decrease the lifespan of a grill.
Totally agree. While a grill like this might cost a little more, if it's well maintained it will last you 10+ years no problem.
Did your stainless side trays clean well? I need to clean mine because they look like they are tarnished.
Yeah, like brand new.
Yes, I've refurbished about 6 individual 5-700$ grills over the last 6-10 years
Back to their prime ! You would never know they were salvaged from doom.
They look beautifal !
J jjh
What did I do without this for so long?2 pieces of French Toast at a time ?20 minutes for 10 pancakes ?NO MOREthis griddle is awesomeTook some time to season before first use ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxHM5jmQoi4dbb0hoWSBs9hPhSwXUbGVG_ did brunch and hibachi dinner on Mother’s Day and it worked like a charmSturdy, well built and heats up quick. burners2-4 were a little stubborn but then lit up.Great addition to my patio.Bought the cover and it’s great, also bought the accessories kit - scraper is good but the spatulas are flimsy to be honest that’s my only negative.
Where are my mexican peeps who just use half an onion to clean their grills!?
or a lemon
@@zainhoosen4659 now everybody knows
@@snoozebutton we have to help the gringos
@@zainhoosen4659 lol 😂
Yea
How do you use onion ?
A little tip I have from working in a kitchen, use sprite or ginger ale in a spray bottle with hot water. Turn on the grill, let it get hot, spray the soda mixture on the grates, then scrub them with steel wool. The sugar, carbonation, and steam, helps pull off any stuck on carbon deposits.
Whats the ratio?
like 50/50 you want it to be diluted enough so it steams up and doesn't leave a lot of sugar to burn
When I worked for a deli with a flat top we would use the grill cleaning liquid and carbonated water from the fountain. Let the liquid get real hot then pour the water on. It was fall right off the surface.
If you know this, then why are you watching videos on how to clean a grill? I swear people want to step on ties and tell everyone what they know, too. Such a corny way to operate. Why not just make your own video instead of clicking on how-to videos for shit you already claim to know how to do. SMH
@@TopBillinSports hahaha, well first of all, you seem like you’re having a bad day, it’s not that deep man. I’m gonna take your comment as genuine interest rather than an insult. Every year for father day I clean my dads grill for him. I worked in a kitchen in the past, but I had never deep cleaned a personal BBQ grill before. I was used to cleaning flat top professional grills. Anyways, I take a lot of pride in my work, and I wanted to make sure my dads grill looked great for him. So I watched this video to see if there were any useful tips I could use since cleaning a grill is a bit of a headache. As for sharing my tip from a professional kitchen, that’s just one of many steps in the cleaning process. People are here to learn how to clean a grill, I knew a useful tip, and shared it with people who take pride in their work. It’s as simple as that. You’re clearly not one of those people and that’s okay, but don’t go commenting on videos you don’t have interest in.
I hope my explanation helped you better grasp why someone might comment on a UA-cam video. I hope you have a better day.
Never use steel wool on stainless steel. The carbon steel from the steel wool can become In bedded in the steel and cause rusting in your stainless steel.
Also, when using scotch bright go with the grain of the stainless steel. Scotch bright can scratch stainless steel.
Welp, as I dried everything off I just realized I scratched the heck out of my grill 🙃 GREAT 😬☹
Yea same here, I used the rough side of my dish pad to get grease off and now there are tons of swirl marks.
@@garrett1144 😂 Damn 😂
While that does suck, the good news is that if you season your grill correctly, it won't matter.
And never leave iron items on the stainless steel after the rain for a few days. I now have a permanent reminder
May you repost the video without the music. Or lower the volume of the music and increase the volume on the voice. It's a little hard to hear you. Thanks for the demo!
Wow! This is exactly what I was looking for! SO thorough and makes it look so much less overwhelming! Looks like it's 3 years old now but I'm glad I found it! Thank you so much!
Quick question - where do you buy your elbow grease? I couldn't find any at Home Depot.
Anyone use oven cleaner easy off?
Then burn it off at high temperature for 30min or so.
Baller cleans his grill while waring Submariner, nice video. Thanks!
Lol. Saw the 5 digit sub and thought the same thing
What do you do with that soapy-greasy water? Kitchen drain? Lawn? Or onto the streets?
How often should these be cleaned?
that is the main question that was never answered
I mean u could always let it set overnight. Gently poor the water into your sink and then poor the bottom sludge into the trash. The really bad collection of grease was in the tin foil pan that just got tossed and replaced.
I just did my Genesis a couple weeks ago. It really needed it. Looks good as new now! Stay safe and healthy, my friend 🙏
It’s amazing how much garbage you can off the grill when you clean it!
Great video. My only question is what to do with the left over greasy, soapy water in the tub? I don’t think pouring it in the yard would do the grass any favors.
We pour it out at the end of our driveway
I thought I was told NOT to wash the flavorizer bars..hmm
Great video, the only thing That I would add is the fact that you don’t have to use grill oil. You can use any cooking oil, I like canola but you can use peanut or vegetable. I treat my grill grates like cast iron, and I season it multiple times before use(but instead of putting it in the oven I put the flame on). Nevertheless, it was a great video and very informative, thanks
Great points Matthew
This, any oil with a high burn temp works perfectly. Just like seasoning cast iron pans.
Do you know what else cleans even better than scraping and brushing? Heat. High heat burn, cool and vacuum up any ash. My aluminum grates shine like new after a good burn.
“One man’s junk is another man’s flavor.” - Sir Gourdun Ramsies III - …
Wikipedia, probably…
On another note you did a particularly good job polishing those knobs…
cleaning a grill while wearing a rolex submariner is wild!
👍
So....now one's going to talk about the fact the grease simply lifts off? I used a deep cleaner, metal scotch bright and 1600psi power washer...with a degreaser attachment. After a swimming pool worth of water it's not even half as clean as seen in this video.
You can also use Citrol after the Dawn/hot water bath. Citrol will remove tar. It'll work on grease too. As far as seasoning the grates just use veggie oil or whatever you have on hand. Do it every time, it's easy. Once you keep doing it if you miss one time because you're in a rush or something it's no big deal.
Remove the grates, and just pressure wash when you have your pressure washer out for another job. 3 minutes under a pressure washer and done.
i use a mixture of 50% vinegar and 50% water in a spray bottle to clean the inside of the lid and exposed box parts on my Weber--after bbqing heat to 500 degrees and spray and wipe all surfaces--my 5 year old Weber gas grill is so clean inside you can eat off it !!!!!!hahahah--looks like new--bought porcelain flavor bars as a replacement and clean them with sos pads every time i bbq--still like new !!!
I just cleaned my dads grill for father’s day, I spent 6 hours cleaning it, and its no were near as clean as you got yours. To be fair It hadn’t been cleaned since we got it 10 years ago.
Your video popped up first, and it helped me clean my dirty grill. Thank you so much for your expertise and user-friendly video.
For the re seasoning the grill, will half chopped fruit (or onion) be an alternative as well?
Hey bud, you can use any type of oil with high burning temp such as canola, avacado or peanut oils. My recommendation would be canola :)
Love how you are just casually cleaning your grill wearing your Rolex Submariner… bombproof
Literally bombproof
Very thorough, and lots of great tips. Thanks for this great video!
Maybe you can teach us to do it better then..
Try a drill with Strip wire brush attachment; I have a dedicated DeWalt drill. In addition try oven cleaner on the grates, wood bin, and flavorizor bars. The SS flavorizors IMO should be tossed every year or two depending on use; they're pretty cheap. I'm thinking about replacing the grates on mine after 5 years. Between the two
I have a smaller charbroil. Cleaned it good as I could last year after about 3 years not being done and I purchased new flavorizor bars. This year the grill was easier to clean. but I still find it hard to get all of the black crusty crud out of it. I do use Dawn and a Scotchbrite pad to scrub the grates, but even the soap and pads don't cut all of it. I've hesitated to use the steel wool or a steel brush because of metal fibers. May have to try next time and see how it works. Appreciate all the tips in this, including all in the comments!
Great video! I’d invest into a grill cover though, worth every penny.
Yep, I’ve got one of those too. Sometimes I just forget to put it back on after a cook though 😉
Really? Wire wool on stainless steel? This grill ain't going to look like new after this. Far from it.
Exactly
It’s brushed stainless steel - not polished. So it doesn’t leave marks.
@@BBQandBottles ok! Thanks
😂
you forgot to turn on the infrared burner to burn off all that splattered meat juice.
This was very helpful. I’ve never cleaned mine in 4 years. Cleaning mine next weekend!
I would blast off what I could with a degreaser and water hose before ever touching the bbq to avoid scratching.
Remember to get non scratch brillo pad!
Great tips brother. I know I definitely need to spend some time cleaning the pits. Cheers!
No better time to do it than during the shelter-in-place orders!
Smh….Man did I mess up!!! I sprayed mine down with water. Now I see why it won’t work!
What are your thoughts on using on onion to prep it for first use again?
I use lemon or onion to clean my grates after is that okay
Seasoning grates? Clean it with wire brush every time after letting them get hot on max temp for 15 min. Put some oil and thats it
how often should this be done?
You're scraping off your flavorizer bars over your exposed burners. Not a good idea.
Yes... the grill God's will be angry.
Thanks.. made me realize I should have the flavorizer bars over the burners when i scrape the grills. I probably wouldn’t have since i always screw things up.
That's some good tips. I just wish it wasn't over 106° outside! 🥵
watching this video I realized how dirty this used grill I got really is... dang! I got it for next to nothing at least :)
Nice job! I was going to clean my grill but I see I need some new tools. Thanks for the information.
Can you use oven cleaner all over the inside of the grill?
Would anyone pay $200 to have their grill cleaned?
Scouring pad ?????????? = scratches
@CountryStranger What size nozzle and pressure washer you use? May try your method. Hate to strip any stainless/aluminum lol Thought about lining my drip tray in aluminum foil too. 🤔
I always put some cooking oil on a paper towel and just wipe it across the grill to pick up any "stainless steel" pieces left behind from the BBQ brush
Such a good idea. Just like reseasoning cast iron
I was nervous for your watch around the 8:00 mark!
Great video. Just finished cleaning mine
Great video. Very detailed, concise, and with great editing. My only ( small) complaint is the distracting music in the background throughout the video. Otherwise excellent job
I’VE BEEN TO 4 STORES NOW, AND STILL CANNOT FIND ANY ELBOW GREASE!?!?!
#justkidding thanks for the “How To”!!!
That's a great How tooooooo... Thanks and Happy Easter!
Nice video and next time it is better to take off your watch when cleaning 😂
….and the music!!!!
great video, but turn off the background music. It is too loud and is very distracting. I couldn't watch the whole video without fast forwarding because of it.
Do not clean your grills in front on a doorway...where you traipse the fatty water into the building off the deck...do not clean your grills on a nice wooden deck...pretty obvious why!
It must be me, I clean my grill after I use it. No way I’d serve food prepared an dirty grates.
Same here. I heat them up and scrape them. If they're really bad I'll take them out and wash them with soap and water. All ready for the next bbq.
Where do you dump dirty water to?
Great video! But remember all natural doesn’t mean food safe. Look for surface cleaners specifically rated for food contact surfaces!
Nice watch, rushed job.. 4:48 clearly, who cares about the finish, lol.
Sorry I do like the video but it's there a way to minimize the music in contrast with the instructional audio. It can get disturbing .
I clean mine with EZY Off grill cleaner. It's just like EZY Off for the oven but for the grill. Hit it with the hoze and a scrub brush done
I love and appreciate how thorough this video is. Thats how I would clean my grill if I worked at a restaurant. Mine gets the garbage bag-ammonia soak, and the hose! Mine ain't that nice tho--!
When you say the hose...do you literally hose yours down? I had a scary grease fire the anther day it was pretty scorched and it rinsed off pretty easily. I’m just paranoid because I ended up hosing down the inside too and o got water on the gas tubes and I don’t know if that was a bad thing or not
Angelica, it sounds like you need a deep clean if you’re having grease fires. A hose isn’t going to fix that.
Hey bud quick tip for ya with that sparkle knife. They come stamped sharp as all hell from the factory on the corners. Using a bit of sand paper on those corners quick with take off that super sharp factory stamped edge and you won’t have to worry about those harsh scrape makes your getting inside your grill there. This tip also works for not accidentally cutting your drywall tape too
Bar keepers friend will shine those tough to clean pieces! Great video, thanks.
Solid idea!
Shut the crappy music offf!!!!
Guess I'm late to the party, the link for the wireless thermometer is going to something that is definitely not a thermometer lol
Great video .... but really turn down the music volume, we want to hear YOU and not the music.
Can you not use the oven cleaner and plastic wrap method for this? I feel like that would be easier. But I'm not sure if oven cleaner is harmful for the gas grill. Someone let me know please?
Well your grill obviously isn’t as dirty as mine. This one’s been setting up for 10 years.
Terrific video but it made me tired watching you work. Maybe I'll clean my grill next week. lol
It appears in the video that you are using the same green sponge that you just used on bird poop. Tell me I'm wrong...
Oven/grill cleaner and high pressure washer didn't do the trick. Got to go the old fashion way, like here.
How did the inside cover got cleaned from the built up grease and grimes?
That was some top quality knob polishing sir 😂 thanks for the tips! Very thorough and easy to follow 🍻
NEVER use steel wool. Marrs everything...
Nice job. I remove my burners, so that I can get into the box better.
Great idea. I probably should have done that too
use car grade degreaser or use wd40
Could you send me a link to your plastic tub that you are using to soak your grill in hot water?
Where do you dump the dirty water at?
I usually bust out the rust and clean the grill shell, then buy some new grill cover and grates like 50 dollars all together,
Great video. Awesome tutorial. Love the guidance.
Remove your burners and hook the open end to a garden hose, now, while water is flowing out of the burner holes brush the holes lengthwise, the flowing water prevents debris from going inside the tube holes while you give your burner tube a super clean scrub.
How many years was the grill in use and no cleaning?????? 10 ??
Great video! Next time I need to see more skin and perhaps tighter shorts. Lycra preferred.
They need to make wood burning grills that remove all this with the ashes
Quick question - what did you do with the water after you were done soaking the grates?
Maybe one day ill be cleaning my grill, at my house, while wearing a sub on my wrist. #Goals
TOo much background music we can’t hear you
OUTSTANDING video!!! Helped me immensely.
I sprayed my grill out with the pressure washer
Will this process work for Subarus vehicles?
What about the 'rust' or little spots that look liek rust on the stainless steel surface?
Thank you so much! Dad was on a business trip and I couldn't find the grill cleaning manual, this worked out just fine for me! I just know I would have forgotten to put the pieces back in reverse order too haha.
Next video: How to clean BBQ grease and grime off your Rolex. Great tutorial but for the love of horology take off your watch instead of dunking it in the same dirty grease water as your grill!
Haha I just noticed he was wearing a Rolex too. Cleaning your grill with a Rolex on and not a care in the world. That’s a flex right there
Did you deep clean your watch after doing this?
What I need to know is how the hell are you filling the big giant bucket with warm water. My hose outside is ice cold water.
The kitchen sink!!
@@BBQandBottles then how do you carry that heavy heavy bucket outside. I just did it with a 10 gallon one and broke my ass. Lol
My wife helped me out. 😂
Are you doing this deep clean grimy work with a stainless steel Rolex Submariner? 🤦🏼♂️ that has to be a replica or that’s your work watch and you have A Patek Philipe
Rolex’s are meant to be used.
Thank you for this!
No problem. Glad you found it helpful.
Just love how this guy is careless about the Rolex. LOL
