Many customers complain the paint on the Weber inner barbecue hood is flaking into their food. There are flakes all over the inner grill lid that drop onto food while cooking so customers contact us to clean the barbecue or replace the Weber hood.

The porcelain enamel coating on a Weber colored lid is not capable of flaking into your food because the porcelain enamel is baked onto the solid steel material of the hood.

When we get flaking into the food in a Weber Spirit or Genesis or Summit BBQ with colored hoods the flakes are years and years of grease smoke, grease splatters, carbon fumes from the burners, etc. The build-up of grease and burning fumes coats the inner liner and forms to the shape of the Weber BBQ Hood. Eventually the waste material gets thick enough that gravity pulls it off the formed lid of the BBQ and it seems like black paint flakes are dropping into our barbecued chickens!

This is not paint, is not some toxic external chemical but is the years of grease and fumes from using your barbecue. A good degreaser and soft bristled scrub brush will clean away the grease and leave the inner porcelain Weber Lid shinning like new. This video is only about 1 minute and shows the inner Weber Lid being cleaned.
