Buy Used + clean vs Buy New: Webber Genesis II Grill

I needed a grill, I weighed getting a new expensive one ($500+,) a cheap new one( less than $500), buying a used 'expensive' grill and finally, a used 'cheap' grill.
This is my attempt to clean/refurbish a used 'expensive' grill: Webber Genesis II (Natural Gas)

The cleaning solution that you made was interesting. I will try out the vinegar, baking soda, and dish soap combo.

Hey thanks for uploading this. I’m considering doing this. Why didn’t you use easy off? I think that stuff works pretty well

[@dcnsdcns]

Glad it helped! I would say that the condition I got the grill was quite nasty and I'm sure Easy Off would work well but I wanted a less abrasive/natural method. Hence, replacement of the grill grates, I'm not sure the grate would be salvageable with Easy Off due to the deterioration. Ultimately, I did a couple no food / burn off cycles just make sure no left over cleaning substances we're left over. Best of luck!!

Easy Off is gross! I think it contains ammonia. Never worked for me anyway.
