Hi all,

I have a Weber 22" kettle in the backyard that really needs to be
cleaned. What cleaning agent can I use that won't harm my shrubs?

Thanks.

They also make a BBQ foam that works well!

Fire! Throw a buncha stuff (wood type stuff) in the kettle and get it
blazing. Before it gets to be too big a blaze, put the grill rack in place.

A good start on cleaning is to load in the charcoal and get it going as
hot as you can- damper fully open. Then, place a layer of aluminum foil
on the top side of the rack and poke a few holes in it for ventilation.
Put the rack in place, and let it go. The foil will reflect the IR
from the burning charcoal back downward and will raise the temperature
between the rack and coals to a point where it will hopefully burn off a
lot of the crud. This works great with a gas grill and pretty good with
a direct charcoal grill as well.

I clean my offset (New Braunfels Silver) every couple of years by building
a fire in the smoke chamber and just let it heat up with the vents wide
open. You can do the same with your kettle. Somewhere above 500°F
it will burn all the S#$@ off of it leaving it clean as a whistle. (Or what
TFM® said)

Probably puts cast iron and the wok in the dishwasher?

At lunch today, I watched an infomercial about a new and revolutionary
grill cleaning machine. I couldn't hear the sound, but the video part
looked like a water bottle with a scouring pad attached. The idea was
to use steam to assist the scouring pad.
