Just found you guys when searching for info on how to clean a Weber. I like what I see here. I have a 2002 stainless steel performer in dark green. Using info from this site I've already dry scraped with a razor, used soapy water and #0000 steel wool, and loving the improved look and taste! Who would have thought you could use a razor blade on these things! Also, just ordered a new cover from Grill Stuff based on recommendations here. Thanks everyone!
