Weber Q cleaning tips?
Our first year with Weber Q1200. Awesome little fireplug!
I've been trying some cleaning methods and think I have found a good one.
After grilling, use a wooden spatula/flat spoon to scrape off anything stubborn while still hot.
Then heat grill to at least 250F-350F, turn off grill, open lid and use one of the grill cleaning tools with the synthetic black "sponge" to clean it.
But here is the trick!
Hold the sponge with the sponge side up and pour soaking water on it, then turn it over and scrub the ceramic coated cast iron grates with the grain of the grates.
Work your way across. When the steam slows down, rewet the sponge and continue. You can repeat as necessary until you have quite a clean grate.
Two points to note:
1. If the brush is not wet enough it will melt
2. The very front and back edges may accumulate off scrubbings, but you know how to handle that.
It's not perfect, but scores very high on the reward to effort scale :) Grates get washed in the sink after a trip.
Anyone else have some tips?
