Stainless steel? Use any stainless steel cleaner. Most oven cleaners will work fine.

I'm sure you are referring to the exterior, I wouldn't use chemicals on the cooking surfaces but that's just me.
Stainless brush works well for the grill and the good old paint scraper and soft scourer for the griddle.

No, interior. I've used oven cleaners successfully in my 23 year old Webber and on stainless steel BBQs for years. All it is is a strong caustic agent, which dissolves the fat. Once the oven cleaner has done it's work you wash it off with clean water. No scraping or abrasives required. It leaves no chemical residues and is, after all, oven safe.
