Expert Tip
If your barbecue lives in a coastal spot, by the pool or somewhere with heavy rain, it might need a bit more love. Salt, chlorine, and moisture can speed up rust and wear. In those cases, give the outside a quick clean with warm soapy water more often, rinse it well and dry thoroughly.
Cleaning your Weber Spirit won't take long, but it significantly helps it cook better and ensures it is always safe to use. It also means that your barbecue is ready for whatever’s next on the menu.
