Charcoal Grill Cleaning & Restoration
Charcoal grills build up creosote, ash, and stubborn carbonized grease that a wire brush can't touch. We clean Weber kettles, Kettle Master pits, barrel smokers, offset pits, and hibachis — inside, outside, and underneath. Cast iron grates get restored and re-seasoned so they sear like new instead of sticking. Every clean ends with a fire-ready grill and a fresh ash pan.

- Charcoal grate & ash pan

Common reasons customers request this service
Heavy weekly grilling
Charcoal Grill Cleaning is ideal when your grill is used several times a week and grease is building faster than a quick scrape can handle.
Before a party or cookout
A professional deep clean gives you cleaner flavor, steadier heat, and a grill you are comfortable showing guests.
After months of storage
Florida humidity, pollen, insects, and old drippings can sit inside the grill even when the cover looks clean from the outside.
When performance drops
Long preheat times, flare-ups, bad smells, or uneven heat usually mean the firebox, burners, or grease system need attention.
Our process
- 1
Ash & debris removal
We empty and scrub every trace of ash, charcoal chunks, and grease drippings out of the bowl and ash catcher.
- 2
Creosote steam clean
Bowl interiors and lids get steam-blasted to remove the sticky, black creosote layer that builds up over dozens of cooks.
- 3
Cast iron restoration
Grates are stripped, wire-wheeled, and re-seasoned with high-smoke-point oil so they cook non-stick again.
- 4
Vent & damper service
We clear the intake and exhaust vents so airflow is precise and temperature control is easy on your next cook.
Why it matters
- No more stuck food on the grates
- Cleaner smoke flavor — no old creosote tainting today's cook
- Predictable temperature control from fully cleared vents
- Extends the life of a $300–$1,500 Kamado, kettle, or offset pit
- Ready-to-cook grill returned the same day

Frequently asked questions
Can you restore cast iron grates that look ruined?
Usually, yes. Unless there's structural rust-through, we can strip, clean, and re-season cast iron back to a working non-stick surface.
Do you clean smokers too?
Yes — offset smokers, barrel smokers, and drum smokers are all part of the charcoal category. Larger pits may take longer.
What about porcelain kettles like a Weber?
Porcelain kettles are one of our most-cleaned grills. We remove creosote without scratching the enamel and can touch up small chips.
How long does the clean take?
1.5–3 hours depending on size and how long since the last deep clean.
