I have several ways to tackle the cleaning chore and it depends on how
grimey it becomes and which cooker I'm going to clean. I have 3 webers, 2
x
kettles & a baby Q but apart from getting some water into the gas tubes on
the little Q, it's basically the same method.Charcoal kettles are easier
due to the grates and stuff are easy to remove.
Generally if they are not too bad, I just heat them up to a very high temp
and let it burn all the crap on the grates and then give them a good
scrape
with a copper wire brush but when theres a build up, I take the grill bars
off and give the cooker a good dose of Oven Cleaner which you leave on for
a
good few hours or a Non- toxic degreaser. Once the degreasers have a good
chance to eat the layers of crap, then I give it a blast with a high
pressure water cleaner. works for me everytime and will get rid of most
the
gunk that builds up over a period of time but it really is better if it's
done more often as then the job isn't as difficult. Expect to get wet, but
hey...it's Summer over your way now so you'll dry out quick too LOL.
If Possible, could be an idea to remove hood and clean seperately instead
of
struggling with it in an upright position.
If it's a Gasser, same applies but when finished, light it up to dry out
any
water that gets into the gas holes. Keep it lit without anything over them
untill at least all the holes are clear and lit.
You might find if your gas lighter may not spark due to being wet, just
light it with a ****table gas cooker lighter.
Anyway, that should keep you out of mischief for a while......have fun!!
