Not sure if this is the right sub for this post.
I’ve used grills plenty but I’ve never owned and needed to care for one. This is a hand me down from a friend who said he kept it for 5 years after he assembled it but never used it.
Rust around the majority of corners and edges but not a significant amount, the right most side of the grill has the most rust.
Smoker, grill, and sear station seem to be in good condition. Hooked up a propane tank, everything works on all settings. Thermostats work as well.
Mostly just spider webs and rust. What’s the best way to clean this up, top to bottom, without damaging any parts of the grill?

I’d say just a regular hose and soap.
Also: Hell yeah.
Maybe write a letter to apologize for letting it rot
Cup brush on a drill for the rust. Wipe down really well with isopropyl and then give it a quick coating with high temp paint. Auto supply stores often have paints that can handle really high temps.
For what
Don’t worry about the exterior, fire it up, getting it ripping hot, and then cook on it. Anything on the inside will burn off. If you are really concerned with the exterior, prep the rusty spots real well and throw a little high temp paint on them. From the photos though I wouldn’t for even a second be concerned about using it as is.
Looks pretty great for sitting for 5 years. Mine gets dirty as shit sitting over the winter with a water proof cover on it.
Gosh, let er rip!
What a blessing! Nice gift man
After you clean it up, get a cover for it.
Some meat will clean it up
Beautiful grill
I’d get some scotch bright scrubby pads , knock off the rust hit these parts with hi temp paint , heat up scrub and oil the grill grates , carry on have fun , what ya cooking first
I wouldn’t do a thing to it, the main components inside look great. You should be able to use it for many years!
You are lucky indeed
Simple Green is my go to. Traeger cleaner works good too(Home Depot)…
I was going to say that it looks like it was never used.
*Cries in kettle grill*
Cook a steak on it
Where’s the part you need to clean? That thing still looks brand new!
I would invest in a cover or tarp if you can’t find a cover. I have to leave my grills in the elements and keep a cover on them.
…..who hurt you? 🥺
Yeah give it to one of us. We won’t let it go to waste
I’ll take it, if you don’t want it.
Rub your balls on it and light them on fire
Sweet
not sure it’s safe mate- drop me your address and i’ll take it off your hands and properly dispose of it for you
