Got this bad boy today for $150 off OfferUp. Any suggestions on how to clean the rust off the grates? Or are they too far gone? Just starting my Weber journey too, any suggestions on what to make for Memorial Day weekend?

Your not getting the rust off. For some reason weber doesn’t use stainless steel on these grills. I would just buy a replacement, they do sell them pretty cheap and you can find aftermarket stainless grills for the performer on Amazon.

Every part of it is replaceable at very reasonable cost.. I’ve had mine since 2011 and it’s still going strong.. just keep it covered

Nice score! She looks ready to cook to me.
Grates look fine to me. maybe hit it with a brush and rub it with an onion when it’s hot right before the first cook.
For the first cook I would recommend classic burgers and dogs… if you know how to cook those already it’s a great way to get familiar with heat control on the new (to you) grill.
Enjoy!

Is this the 22″? You can get the replacement for the grates around $45 on amazon. I replaced mine last year after the rust took over. Did everything I can but, the rust is not going away.
