First attempt at cleaning my grill

[VenomM3]

Hell all,
This weekend I went to Home Depot and I picked up some Easy-Off and Weber grate cleaner. I bought the Weber Spirit grill back in January, and yes I know my grill cleaning habits haven't been up to par. So, I filled up a couple of buckets with some hot water and Dawn. But first I sprayed the grates and the interior of the grill with Easy Off (yellow bottle). I let the grates sit for 2 hours (not in water) and I began cleaning the grates with some steel wool. Not much came off and I did heavy rubbing on those grates. So, I applied more Easy-Off and let it sit until Sunday (overnight) submerged in the water with Dawn. This afternoon I pulled them out and I got better results. I still have some black crud on the grates that just wont come off, but overall it looks much better than it did before with time allotted for this cleaning.
I did read this article http://amazingribs.com/tips_and_tech...intenance.html but I didn't have a steamer or the tools mentioned in the article. So, I went on youtube and got some good information. However, one major problem I can't get a flame going on my grill. I hear the ignitor clicking, but no flame nothing. I do smell the propane getting into the grill but no flame at all. I even installed a newly filled proprane tank. Any advice would be great.
Please acknowledge attached pictures are post cleaning. Also, I did notice some marring on the finish of the left table of the grill, can I fix that?

Max Good Might be able to help... I suspect the ignitor is either bad or wet.

Check to see if the ignitors are aligned properly. Sounds like the collector box may not be in the proper position. If you can, take out the grates and flavorizor bars, and make sure you see the spark in the ignitor box. (easier after dark).

Note: Do this with the gas turned off. You are just looking to see if there is a spark in the ignitor box area. It may spark somewhere else, which means it is shorted out before it gets to the ignitor box. As Huskee stated, it might just be wet. You will hear the "clicking" sound whether you get a spark or not.

I have also seen people get cleaner inside of the burner tubes. You would probably have to uninstall them and blow them out to get them to work again if that is the case.

It may self correct after drying out. Leave the grates and flavorizer bars off and hood up unless it's raining. If possible place it in a sunlit area. If it doesn't work after a couple days, call Weber to trouble shoot.
