That looks pretty respectable. Oddly enough, I have a pressure washer and never thought to try it on the inside of the lids. That's a good tip Dan.
For a keeper its good enough. For a top dollar sale someone might want to take it apart and clean with oven cleaner.
Yeah, looks fine. If you went the extra mile, would it be nice and shiny again?
At best I think dull matte stainless.
Gotcha, the liner is stainless, not enamel. It's never going to look perfect anyway so what you did is probably the extent of the effort that should be expended on that particular lid.
Again, looks pretty good to me. I only spend the time scraping my lids because I know I can make them look like new again. I wouldn't bother on one of those lids, it looks good enough. No strips of carbon falling on to your food every time you cook is the goal anyway.
I Agree. The one I just picked up looked like crap with lots of flakey stuff and spider nests. I think I will season it with canola oil spray and blacken it.
I don't know when the liner was added. My mom's 2009 genesis E320 with side controls does not have a liner. I cleaned hers with a razor blade like I would clean an x000 lid.
Hers is a 2012 front control model if I remember correctly. You're the expert on those here.
Had to weed a flower bed today, and spray some roses for fungus and Japanese beetles. Also had to inform that (very good) customer that No, I cannot plant flowers in her containers in Wake Forest colors for her daughter's going away party to law school. Cuz there are no flowers that come in black and old gold.
Dan, you cleaned it first. You used the pressure washer? Then you will spray with canola oil and do what? Cook it on low to blacken it? I like the black look. I just don't want the crud.
Just pressure wash it. Cook some burgers and the grease will coat it just fine.
Grates are still not here. Tracking info says shipped to day by 8 pm. They've got 70 minutes to get here. I'm not all that hopeful. Never saw UPS come to my house on a Saturday evening.
