I know you used Zep products, but if you can't find the purple degreaser, Castrol has the purple stuff which is really great. Also Dollar Tree has a great grille cleaner. It can even be used indoors on Kitchen ovens with out the fumes you can get from the usual oven cleaners!! I'm looking to replace the wooden handles on mine. I enjoyed watching how you fixed and gave your $50.dollar find. Thanks again for the information you shared.😁😁

Awesome project and video, Tom. I have a Weber CB Performer and do a deep clean like you a couple of times each year but it never looks that good!. Was afraid to use a metal scrapper due to scratching so had some plastic 2" ones from a forgotten project. They work great with no danger of damage to the grill finish. They quickly take on the shape of the kettle so even better. Love your channel and admire your collection. We have the Performer, Akorn - a recent handmedown from my son-in-law and a Blaze gasser built-in. Need a bigger Lanai...

I just bought a used Weber 22 inch exactly like this one with the three daisy wheel vents on the bottom. Mine is a 1996 was much cleaner than yours. I took it apart, cleaning the rust off the triangle wheel assembly using baking soda and vinegar followed by green rubbing compound and then Auto glym polish and wax. For the kettle i used LA's totally Awesome degreaser (straight), then baking soda and vinegar, followed with Dawn dish soap. The kettle came out smooth and clean with some minor defects and scratches. I only used nylon brushes and scrubbing pads. It took me hours to clean the charcoal grates and grilling grates again using vinegar baking soda then Bar keepers. I coated the charcoal grate with grapeseed oil as rust kept coming back on it. I will probably buy and use a long stem probe for a thermometer through the top vent instead on drilling a thermometer in. For the wood handles I used Howard's feed and wax probably a mistake as it has petroleum distillates, should have use the the Howards cutting board conditioner. I will probably buy a wireless thermometer maybe a Meater. It all came out like new condition. It also came with a charcoal starter which i somewhat cleaned up. All for $35 I did call Weber(they were great talked with Roy) and buy the hub cap package for the rubber cap for the front leg, $8. I did not get the spring clips and it would not work on mine without drilling. Thanks for the video Tom good job!

You definitely used 2 of Zep's best products. Their degreaser is very good and the oven/grill cleaner is expensive but worth every penny. I scrape all the thick stuff between cooks but I found if I take a small piece of Scotch-Brite pad and quickly go over the dried stuff it wipes down just as nice. I would much rather do that - it's very quick and really cuts down on the big clean-ups and chemicals. That may also help on the lid. Great video!

Great video. I just picked up an EZ code (1998) BAR-B-KETTLE just like yours today. I'm looking forward to cleaning mine up and using my roti ring and Cajun Bandit stacker on it. I wonder if Weber made the BAR-B-KETTLE more available during certain years as opposed to others. I've also got an N code 1991 green 22.5 BBK. I've seen quite a few ER 1996, EZ 1998 and EE 1999s. Very few 97s, 95s and so on. The oldest version I've seen of the "econo" (when daisy wheel kettles were bumped to econo status after the advent of the One Touch) Weber series so far is 1987 J code. I've stumbled across a Sears/Kmart NIB J code. I snagged it last summer. Love these old kettles.

That’s an awesome result! I wonder if treating the restore with McGuire products as if it was a a car restore work would work .

Nice work. It really not necessary to take the vents completely off. Buy 0000 steel wool and disposable razor blades. 0000 steel wool removes grime but won’t scratch porcelain. Dawn and hot water work better than zep.
