Grill won’t get as hot if you don’t clean its guts periodically.

Periodically (like when it won't turn on) I take everything out of the tub, replace the burners/diffusers that need it. Trouble is, it's often VERY difficult to find replacement burners. Scrape the path the gas is supposed to run.


The tub/lid stay the same, got that good seasoning to them.


I've seen those vans advertising the cleaning service. Never even wanted to know how much it would run. Figured they'd be like a stealership and once your grill was apart, they'd be selling you all new internals for more than the price of a new grill.

I do plan to have someone come out and clean mine like this soon. I can see the value in it, if it's not absurdly expensive.

I'm still by the beach and north of the "great basin" so I never had smog.

I decided to try it. Called the guy with the most / best reviews on Yelp. $250. 2 guys worked for about 2 hours and the grill is definitely cleaner than when I do it myself. But I don’t think it’s $250 cleaner.

[lsturbointeg]

I was always told never to clean your grill like brand new again? kinda like breaking in something brand new. but what do I know I would have used that $250 on steaks and what not

[RickFLM4]

I looked at it in more detail today. The inside is cleaner than I would have gotten it but not “brand new clean.” Last night, I hadn’t really noticed the nice job they did on the exterior, particularly the back of the grill. Also not brand new but much, much cleaner. Definitely not something I’d do every year but I might consider it again in a few years if it looks like it needs it.

I have also read and I'm sure you all have heard, that continuing to eat the charred smoke infused meats from a dirty grill poses many health risks. I can see the carcinogen effect being a problem.
Definitely eating charred meats or skin isn't a good thing.

I clean the grills each time just not the drip pan, hood, tank ,...

Deer back strap wrapped in bacon...mmmmmmm

Yes I know, all the prongs are not in it, but it's not turning on the shaft as I smushed it right.

[Turkish Pickle]

well, time to utilize the weber back home i guess, 35 pages later im starving.
on other news, is there anything you guys say are "must haves" for a genesis S320? my dad enjoys grilling every now and then (compared to you guys he's a sunday griller though) and me being a few thousand miles away from home i couldnt give him a gift yet...

hard to beat a little olive oil massage, kosher salt and pepper for a good rib eye

Its still pretty difficult to beat either Montreal Steak or Lawrys, as long as used with restraint. My family isn't very discerning and as long as I season the cook with Jack everything turns out golden

Yeah, I have an awesome wet rub that I make, but I'm not sure if its simple. Only takes maybe 10 minutes to put together and most of that is peeling the garlic.

Just not sure if I want to share....my wife thinks I should market the rub and sell it. But I don't see the money in it.
