How to Clean a Weber Pit
- 1). Remove the cooking grill using an oven mitt after it has cooled down to a warm temperature. Gently scrape the grime off the grill using a brass grill brush (once the grill cools, it will be harder to scrape). Use a wool pad with warm, soapy water, applying just mild pressure.
- 2). Rinse off the soapy water with a hose or sink sprayer.
- 3). Empty the ash in the bottom of the pit into a trash bag. The pit does not need to be cleaned after each use but the old ash should be removed.
- 4). Scrub the inside of the pit after the ash and charcoal are removed and the Weber is completely cool. To clean the pit, soak a washcloth or sponge in warm, soapy water and clean. Avoid using a wool pad on the pit because it will scratch the finish of the porcelain enamel. Rinse with a hose.
- 5). Wipe off the lid of the Weber with a damp cloth. Allow the pit to dry completely before using the Weber again.
