0000 fine steel wool works great.

[BBQ Grail]

[Desert Dweller]

Hey, I can see those spots! Oh wait, those are boogers on my screen. Darn kids!

[swamprb]

WOW! I only have Fine and Medium Fine steel wool, and it works just fine Thank you!

[Harbormaster]

For me, the best way to clean a Weber (kettle or WSM) is some Greased Lightning and a green Scotchbrite pad.
I'd be afraid the steel wool would scratch, but mybet the fine stuff wouldn't.

[BBQ Grail]

Hey Bocoma, thanks for the tip. Last night I cleaned my weber kettle.

here's a picture of the finished job:

















Nice, isn't it?

If you look real close, you can see yourself in the reflection!

[BBQ Grail]

Anyone else got any pictures of their newly cleaned pit?

[Midnight Smoke]

Amazing...

[SpammyQ]

I took my kettle and WSM apart, put them together in one and got a Weber Kettle Smokey Mountain. Then cleaned it and now I can't find it. Here's a pic...














I'd say nice, but still can't find it!

[BobBrisket]

I think we busted bocoama's chops too much and skeered him off......................we're just messing with ya..............come back!!:wink:

The rule is...........No pics............No happen!!

[PaSmoker]

Yep, probably cleaned himself...and disappeared!:biggrin:There he is.....






No, over there.....





Damn, lost him again!

[Sledneck]

A few of the my buddies wives made them use it on the "nads" and got the same result

talk about a hijacked post ! i cleaned one of my kettles with what i thought was copper/brass wool. after a bit i looked at it and found it was steel that was colored copper. so much for dollar store stuff. yea, it was magnetic. so i looked closely at the kettle and could find no damage. no scratches, etc. so i'm kinda assuming that the porcelin is much tougher than the wool so just go at it with any reasonably fine steel wool..

George, what are you doing trying to get this back on track.

Here's a picture of George's newly cleaned kettle:















Now isn't that better?

[tommykendall]

Pressure washer works great. Just don't turn it on you.

[CaptGrumpy]

Forget cleaning the kettle! before I got my Eggs I just put it out on the curb with a sign that says, "You clean it at home and it's yours!".

Cut bocaoma some slack! I was being a smarta$$, but I've cleaned my share of Webers and steel wool has worked the best! I'll use it to get the buildup off then mask off the rusted/chipped areas, spot paint them with Dupli-Color Engine paint. Then go over the edges of the touchup with the steel wool---Then to make that RED color pop out, I use Meguiars Mirror Glaze #7.

Brian,
Does painting a Weber Red make it faster and more accurate much like the Thermapen debate???:shock::shock::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

So there!

Please refrain from hijacking our hijacking of Bacoma's thread.

[CaptGrumpy]

That is standard threadjacking procedure to let the subject get jacked off the rails and then to swoop in with the double-jack to completely help lose all chances of ever getting the subject straightened out and back on track!

[mbshop]

trp1fox is a kidnapper(threadnapper).

[BBQ Grail]

How do you hijack a thread that never existed.

"No Pictures...didn't happen"

I believe that you are dead on about this one!

[swamprb]

I don't intentionally threadnap, it just turns out that way!
