A:  Hi James, great question! Searing creates that wonderful crisp, caramelized texture where the food touches the grate. It also adds great color and flavor to the entire surface. Steaks, chops, chicken breasts, and larger cuts of meat all benefit from searing. To sear meats, place them over direct high heat for two to five minutes per side. Smaller pieces require less searing time. Usually after searing the food, you finish cooking it at a lower temperature. You can finish cooking fast-cooking foods by the direct method, use the indirect method for longer-cooking foods. If you have further questions, we recommend contacting Weber directly. We'll be happy to help!

A:  Hi Dave, we appreciate your question! If you're located in a coastal/humid area or if chlorine is present in your environment, additional maintenance will be needed to prevent rust and keep up the appearance of the exterior stainless steel parts. Here are a couple of helpful tips: 1.) At the first sign of staining, discoloration, or surface rust we recommend cleaning with a stainless steel cleaner, such as Noxon 7 to remove the rust, followed by the Weber Stainless Steel Polish to preserve the shine. Continue to use the stainless steel polish periodicaly to keep your grill looking its best. 2.) Once a week we recommend wiping down the grill with a wet towel or rag and then drying completely. This will remove any harmful salt or chemicals from the grill’s exterior. 3.) We suggest only covering your grill in the event of inclement weather. We appreciate your interest and we're here to answer any other questions you may have. Thank you!

A:  Hi Dave. Thank you for shopping the Home Depot. To extend the life of the surface of your Weber BBQ, a Weber BBQ Cover should be used to protect the surface from the damaging salt air when not in use. Exposure to salt air and/or chlorine sources such as swimming pools and hot tubs/spas will void your warranty.
