Frequently Asked Questions
My Flavorizer Bars need a cleaning. Any tips?
Maintaining your Flavorizer Bars is simple and easy. Regularly doing the burn-off/brush routine should keep your Flavorizer Bars clean. Start by doing a burn-off (turning all burners on high for 15 minutes with the lid closed) before or after grilling. (If you have cast iron grates, remove before burning off.) This will turn the accumulated debris on your Flavorizer Bars into ashes. Then when the grates are cool, lift them out and brush off the bars with a brass brush.
If a more thorough cleaning is necessary, take the bars out of the grill, put them in the sink and clean with some soapy water and an SOS pad. If using dishwashing liquid in the water, do not use anything lemon-or citrus-based. Rinse thoroughly and towel dry. Do not let them drip dry, as this may cause them to rust prematurely. We do not recommend putting Flavorizer Bars in the dishwasher. The amount of debris they release may cause your drain to clog.
Q. How do I use the thermometer that came with my Weber grill? Can I leave it in the food while grilling?
Because your thermometer is an instant-read, you
cannot
leave it in food while its cooking; the glass face could shatter. It is a dual-purpose thermometer designed to be used as a probe to quickly gauge the internal temperature of cooking meats and to monitor the cooking temperature inside the grill. Allow a few seconds for the temperature to register; the needle will slow and stop briefly at the correct reading. After each reading, return the thermometer to its place in the lid.
Heres how to get an accurate read on different
foods:
Steaks and chops
: Insert probe through side of meat so that tip is in the center of meat.
Roasts
: Insert probe so tip is in center of meat but not touching fat or bone.
Turkey breast
: Insert probe so tip is in thickest part of breast.
Whole turkey
: Insert probe so tip is in thickest part of thigh but not touching bone.
