I haven’t cleaned my Weber Kettle in 2 years. That changed today. Took a few hours of scraping soot and etc. How often do you clean your grill?

I’ll let you know after the first time.
I clean the gunk out of it occasionally but haven’t cleaned it spotless in the 2+ years that I’ve had it. Probably in a few weeks when the weather is consistent I’ll clear the buildup, hit it with some oven cleaner, and then hose it off.

I’ve had it for five years and clean it once every never

Looks nice! Wipe down the exterior and clean the grate, that’s about all I do.

Clean?…not physically.

Once a year…

I mean I wipe the dust off the outside before every cook 😂😂

Usually when I know I won’t be grilling for some time. I don’t value mold growing in my cookware, although it‘s harmless and can be burnt off easily. On median I scrub mine two times a year, that’s usually enough.

Fire clean. Put more meat on

I did mine for the first time in 20 years of ownership. Not sure I’ll bother to do it again.

Sometimes when I leave it out to cool after a cook, Mother Nature will give it a washing. Otherwise never.

Whenever it needs it which is more often than once in a very blue moon.

I keep the charcoal bin clean and clean the grates after every cook. That’s about it.

i clean mine every time i use it. bought it 6 years ago but don’t use it very frequently, but when i do it gets washed. however, every now and then the me who used it turns out to be a lazy bastard and leaves it for the next day’s me to wash.

Get the drip and roast pan for your Slow N Sear. Not only does it act as a baffle and helps airflow, it also catches all the fat and grease drippings. I bought them both when I upgraded to a Master Touch and my grill stays pretty clean. I just clean the pan every few cooks.

32 years and never once cleaned, only swept of ashes. I’m on second set of grates and I replace the bottom damper system every couple years.

After each cook ash & grates. Once a year deep clean and sanitize.

On over 40yrs, other than wiping the exterior with wet cloth…not once.

not often enough, but I’ve been get more flame ups, so I’m finally going to do it. Been about 2.5 years. I actually use mine a lot, especially during summer, so I don’t heat the inside of the house using the stove/oven.

I never get mine spotless, but I get all the ashes/grease/cooked on gunk I can the day after every cook. I just really dislike starting up a cook and the smoker is sloppy, it diminishes the experience.

Sometimes I let it sit in the rain.
