during our last cold spell whilst i wuz grilling some pork chops , i noticed that the ol 18 ' wuz looking a little dirty from repeated cooks . this doesn't happen in the summer as i'm always wiping them down to keep em nice and shinny on the outside. so anyway next day i'm thinking to myself , hmmm think i'll wait till she go's to bed then bring it in and give the outside a good wipedown yeaaa !so the time comes , i haul it in ( i had emptied all the ashes earlier) brilliant idea i think , nice and warm in my kitchen !! there look at that lid shine ! now to get started on the top vent and so on and so on . one of the first things i noticed when it came in was the beautiful aroma , ahhhh scents of previous tastebud scores wait a minute how did grease get on the leg ? more cleaning and polishing . soon i notice the very air around me seems to be getting heavier ,wow i think to myself this house is going to smell great tommorow . ohh what that ! rust on the triangle ? more polishing (boy i'm getting tired , jesus where did this headache come from ? ah man got fingerprints on the bowl and lid gotta wipe those off . wtf why is there still a pork chop on the grill ?! how can that be ? go to grab it and the bloody thing rears up on me and shoves the pointy end of its bone straght thru my hand !! i scream in pain grab my cloth and snap that bitch straight into the sink hissing and snorting right out of a stephen king novel where i finally subdue it with a butter knife and tongs ,whew! .ok just kidding bout the porkchop but omg don't bring a seasoned kettle in your house in the winter cuz the fumes will get to you had a headache all next day with burning eyes .(used no chemicals to clean) had no desire to barbque for 2 days ! l . you have been warned .
You should refer to the Weber Kettle Technical Reference Library before you clean more kettles.

I am very sympathetic regarding your encounter with the murderous Stephen King porkchop. Most everyone hates it when that happens.
Sorry to hear about the monster chop attack. They mostly come out at night, mostly.
