You can get Weber flavor bars on Amazon for half the price rather than buying them from anywhere else. I, too, had my last Weber for over 20 years. Stick with Weber.

I've got 3 kettles and 3 Q's. I find them cheap and refurbish them entirely. Kind of a hobby. Got a couple of their no-longer-made fireplace fire pits also. Still looking for a bug zapper, a cooler, lanterns, and tiki torches. If anyone has any they wanna get rid of... As much as I like Weber, I like the older ones better - while they were still made in America and Weber hadn't been bought out. I'm really a charcoal guy (even do my day-long smoking on a kettle using the snake method). Anyhow, Weber's customer service is awesome. Call them up with the model number. They will find any part you need to replace. Flavorizer bars, grates, igniter switch, burner tubes, all can be replaced and most can be repaired. If it's the burner tube, poke the holes anew with a push pin / thumb tack. If it's the grates, saturate in Heavy Duty E-Z Off oven cleaner and seal up in a plastic yard leaf bag to marinate for a day or two. Then hose off and clean with warm water/dawn and then hose off again. Igniter switch may simply need a battery or clean the wiring contacts with emory cloth or something similar. Caveat: Never had a Spirit or a Genesis, so no first hand experience with those. __________________ Torrance, CA 1976-1983 / Frederick Co., MD 1983-1987/ Valencia, CA 1990-1991/ Brea, CA 1998-2002/ Dana Point, CA 2002-2019/ Knoxville, TN 2019-Current/ FL 2022-Current Subscribe Reply Quick Reply #17 Report Post Old Yesterday, 08:45 PM Chi-Town's Avatar Chi-Town Chi-Town is offline Sage Join Date: Dec 2009 Posts: 7,011 Thanks: 84 Thanked 964 Times in 482 Posts Default There is a service where they will bring your Genesis up to like new condition. A lot less expensive than a new one.

The frame is now rusting so we are actually looking to replace it with a smaller 2 burner Weber. The new one is $499. Can’t imagine some replacement parts costing that much. I have replaced the cast iron grates and the flavor bars a couple times.

Whether you go charcoal or gas. If you are into smoking meats I would go with a CampChef or the new kid on the block Z-Grill has good reviews. The Weber EPX-6 pellet grill version 2, imo, still has bugs to be addressed. My “arsenal” consists of a Weber gas grill and a CampChef pellet smoker. Once again you can’t go wrong with a Weber.

Replace the parts
[QUOTE=Michael G.;2118849]My 10-year-old Weber Gensis gas grill has served me well and now I need to replace it.
The cost of repair would cost more than a new one What would make a good replacement? It is worth the spend to replace all inner parts. You could replace everything for under a $150 and you will have a grill working as good as new. I have done this over the years and one of my genesis grills is over 15 years old. The new ones are not made as solid as the old ones |
Be prepared to dig deep in your pockets.

I suggest a pellet grill. We switched and are not sorry. You will have to learn to grill by temp. However, your meats are more jucy and better flavor. I have a Pit Boss. Trager is the best and most expensive.

I bought my Weber in 2011. Compared with what's selling now, no way would I buy a new one. Lift up the cover on an old grill. Then lift up the cover on a new grill. As they say, they don't make 'em like they used to. The old one is three times heavier. I will rebuild mine until they stop making the parts.

grill replacement

The cost of repair would cost more than a new one What would make a good replacement? Been here 20yrs., and, 3 grills later, we went with a Big Green Egg! Greatest choice we've ever made. WE make pizzas, briskets, chicken steaks anything you can think of! Wish we'd done it sooner. |
I just discovered how wonderful outdoor cooking can be in all its variety. For years, all I knew was single zone cooking on a Weber Genesis or sears equivalent in natural gas.
Recently, however, all the mundane cooking has given rise to an enjoyable new hobby. It all started when my next door neighbor upgraded his Traeger and I ended up with his old one. My initial reaction was this is terrific. Sure wish I knew about pellet grills years ago. What great flavors! Learned to smoke low and slow. Beef ribs, pork ribs, brisket, and more. Learned to roast and finish with a sear on the Genesis. Next up on the learning curve was another neighbor who gave me his old Weber kettle. I upgraded with a few new parts and discovered the wonderful world of charcoal. Brought back memories from my childhood and I absolutely loved it. Learned to smoke on the kettle and was able to replicate and expand upon what was available on the pellet cooker due to the higher temperatures. Next up was a small ceramic egg just because I wanted to experience that dimension of outdoor cooking. Much smaller cooking area but deliciously moist food resulted. Used for smoking, grilling, and reverse sears. My latest acquisition was just a few days ago. It was a stainless griddle insert for the Genesis. This opens up still another dimension and is tons of fun. My favorite thus far on the griddle is breakfast cooking. I can just see my pants begin to get tighter. I enjoy all my toys and feel so fortunate that my next door neighbor started me on the journey with the Traeger. I don’t have a specific recommendation for your individual situation but feel it is all good. You cannot go wrong with any decision as long as you are outside cooking. Getting ready for dinner tonight and serving beef short ribs smoked with oak on the ceramic kamado. |
Weber grill
Just bought a second house and bought another weber. This one has two “sear” burners that chars steaks really nice.
And all the mice weber features |
We love our Kitchen Aid gas grill. Our first one lasted about 20 years. We just bought a new one hoping to get the same results. Cheaper than the Weber grill
|
We had a Weber for 20 years and it was still working when we gave it away 4 years ago. Bought a new Weber Genesis and love it but can no longer use it due to health issues. I do not know how to PM on this forum but if you are interested in our barely used grill please contact us.

Have a Traeger Timberline 1600 and a Napoleon 6 burner with sear station NG grill. Love em both.
