"I am in the process of cleaning up my smokers and the grill."
Oh, man, I just spent an entire day cleaning my Weber Genesis gas grill, after using it for far too long without cleaning. I can think of a few ways Weber could design it to make it easier to do routine cleaning. In the past, I felt like it wasn't worth my time and just bought replacement parts for the guts and scraped down everything else, even though I was spending over $200 on parts. I'm now officially going back to that position. What a chore! New grill in the fall (since the new Weber Genesis actually supports a rotisserie).
