Hey there, Weber fans. I'm new to the site, but I've been a Genesis guy since the very beginning of the grills. I was working for an Ace dealer when the Genesis grills first hit the market and we became a big player really fast. Sometimes I wonder how many of those things we sold and how many I helped assemble! Fast forward thirty-three or thirty-four years and one of those early grills has found its way back to me. It's a Genesis 1000 that's been garage kept its entire life and there's literally no rust on the frame at all. All of the original flavorizer bars are still in good shape, as are the grates. The only hard evidence of its having been used regularly is the grease and smoke grime that's built up on the hood - inside and out. I know how to clean the inside, but the buildup of carbolized gunk on the hood has me a little perplexed. I've read about trying Simple Green, though I'm not a big fan. Do any of you folks who've done this before have any recommendations about using oven cleaner on the red porcelain? Oven's are all porcelain coated and that's what works best on those. Is it the same with a Genesis hood?? Of course I know what oven cleaner could do the metal hood frame and the Weber badge, but I'm talking strictly the porcelain coated surface. Any feedback or suggestions would be great!
