Nice job

Horray! All is well. Weber replaced the cookbox at no charge. The fine print says cast aluminum parts are covered for 25 years. I should have known that. I also replaced the rusted out bottom floor pan (it traps rainwater), and the igniter. Tons of elbow grease later, sucker looks brand new...

They did fix it. Relocated the pins to the sides. Stronger, much better redesign.

Simliar problem on my 2006 320 Genesis. Cook box hinge area gave way on both sides! I blame the weight of the newer rounded style lid. Anybody ever get a free replacement? This is a real problem, for me at least.

Done! Well, for the winter anyway. PBlaster once again did the trick. Old screws backed out, rigged a bracket. Back in business. Thanks!

Thank you both. Good information. I’m on it... soon.

The underside of the cooking box has permanently mounted rails that accept the bottom tray on my old model 900LP. Both are rusted nearly away. The tray and box are on decent shape. I need to come up with a fix. Any ideas?

Fire was localized to the underside of the rear knob. I'll clean out the manifold and burner and report back. Thanks. Don't want to hijack the thread. Thanks again.

Fire! Talk about flare ups! I have the same model pictured above. Last Saturday with only asparagus on the grill the third (rear) plastic knob starts on fire from the underside, dripping flaming, molten plastic! Shut 'er down and dumped a glass water over the knob. Haven't had time to look...

Thanks Kevin. That's the feedback I needed. The search continues...

Thanks Bob. Any idea how this apparent oxidation can be cleaned up?

I've been a Weber owner since the 70's when I bought a kettle from Kmart. Then a redhead around 1990, still have it and it looks and works just fine. Bought a black Genesis Silver at a garage sale last week and I'm cleaning it up. One thing is odd. The Top cover surface is "cooked". No amount...
