Do Not use Pam, it is flamable. What you need is a pum sprayer bottle for olive oil, I wouldnt be without mine

It's easy on any of the Q grills. This is one of Weber's videos showing how: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6T5cXMZbh9c&feature=plcp

Sorry, Debbey. I just don't know anything about a Q200. I have a Weber Summit and it works beautifully.

Try adding the extension piece. Weber is extremely helpful with this problem.

After cleaning a brushing of vegetable oil or olive oil may help. Check with the manufacture as my grill went up in flames before a year old. If it catches fire they may blame you for it like they did me. The rubber hose under the cook surface needs replacing. The Weber grills do not start the rubber hose until they are out of the way of the heat zone. Any grease drippings can not fall on it like can from the char-broil. If you do not follow the instructions to the letter they will void any claim. Not to say they will stand behind any problem if you could prove it. Worst grill ever replaced with a Weber.

When grill is cold, and wind free remove grates and burner covers. Light grill. If the flame on low setting drifts or hops above the burners, and is noisy it sounds like you are getting too much air. if it just goes on and off in parts, the problem may be gas flow. If you adjust it, remember to final check it on low, med and high settings for best general flame to make sure no yellow flame is present

I have the same device. Of course I didn't realize that it was for meat temp., not grill temp, so when it went over what you'd ever want for meat... well same problem. However, I noticed the problem right away and it was just fine next time I used it. If you didn't see it right when it happened, but let it get even higher you might have burned something out. Not much help, sorry and good luck.

Thanks for replies. The burner is usually the first thing to rust out so I will look for a different grill.

Spray the grates with vegetable oil and fire up the grill.The grates will be fine.This is the best grill I've ever owned.Tonight,I grilled corn,onions,baby back ribs and hamburgers.I love it.

My suggestion would be to contact Cuisinart. I would not try it on my grill because I would not want to chance ruining it.

I use Qtips to get dust off the grill. Just need a bit of patience, but music helps.

NO, only the 300 series. Haven't seen one for the Q100 but the make everything else under the sun. Try weber.com

I have not encountered this issue with my grill, however this sounds like a faulty tank or a bad regulator. In my past I have seen tanks do this. I suggest trying a different tank and see if that works.

Hmmm. Mine is pretty well seasoned so nothing really sticks even when I overcook. I wonder what would happen if you heated it up again (with good ventilation so your smoke alarm doesn't go off!). Maybe it would burn off like what you'd do with your gas grill. It might even help to brush some cooking oil on the remnants to help them burn/flake off. Otherwise I guess you can try just scraping with something that won't scratch it too much; maybe try wetting the grills a little by placing some wet cloths on them (since you can't actually soak them); then either scrape or see if it will cook off once the burnt stuff is softer. Good luck. I hope I'll be able to see a response that states how you made out. Hmmm. Mine is pretty well seasoned so nothing really sticks even when I overcook.

We have the Q 1200 with porcelain coated cast iron grate and Weber recommends metal bristle brush to clean the grates. After over 50 grilling sessions within a month and a half, with grate brushing before and after grilling, we've encountered absolutely no problems. No scratches, no flaking, no gouges, etc. We also toss the grates into the dish washer after every 10 grilling sessions and they look as if they're brand new from day 1. We have the 18" version, this and the Weber detailing brush as part of our cleaning arsenal.

Hi Mark, I have had no problems whatsoever with this grill! I have this one as well as the 075 model which is larger. They both still work perfectly!!! I only regret that I neglected to use foil over the drip tray as suggested to make cleanup much, much easier. While I know it's suggested not to clean the inside of it too often (except removing the ashes), I will tell you that when I use the grill to cook chicken thighs/legs at 400+ degrees, the grill drips down the front lid and, it drips from the sidewall where the smokestack is located. Other than that nuisance, the grill is excellent and still performs as such! Hi Mark, I have had no problems whatsoever with this grill! I have this one as well as the 075 model which is larger.

I have this grill. I am using a flexable hose something like this one: http://www.amazon.com/Stansport-Propane-Appliance-Bulk-5-Feet/dp/B001GSHSLE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1394309884&sr=8-1&keywords=propane+hose The grill works very well. I almost always never use it maximum heat when cooking. You might have a faulty regulator or a foriegn object is plugging a passage.
