How to Maintain Your Grill for Long Life

Regular maintenance extends your grill's life and improves cooking.

A well-maintained grill lasts years longer and cooks better. Here's how to maintain yours.

After each use, burn off residue by turning heat to high for fifteen minutes.

Brush the grate with a grill brush after each use—this keeps buildup minimal.

Season your grates by oiling a paper towel and rubbing the hot grate—this prevents rust and sticking.

Check propane tanks regularly—replace older tanks that show signs of wear.

The Weber Brush makes cleaning easy.
