I'm about 3 years into rehabbing 2 older weber genesis and using them extensively over that time. Last weekend I did a deep clean on both grills so I was able to inspect all parts thoroughly.
Weber 1000. This was my father's grill. When I rehabbed this grill I went kind of crazy and pretty much replaced all the parts i could. All of those parts are holding up really well 3 years later. This includes weber parts (igniter, burners, catch pan, slide out bottom, side tray, etc) and the rcplanebuyer flavorizors and grates. In inspecting them I seriously doubt I'll ever Wear out the rcplanebuyer parts. At least not in my lifetime.
The genesis silver A. This grill still had the original igniter and burners. As I was cleaning them the igniter housing crumbled and I noticed the cross over burner is coming apart. So I ordered both. About 20 bucks. This grill has weber stainless replacement flavorizors and Bbqparts ss rod grates. Both of these are holding up very well. I doubt the weber flavorizors last as long as the rcplanebuyer stuff but I'll bet they will last a decade. The bbqparts grates look just as solid as the rcplanebuyer ones.
Seriously the last 3 years have been the most trouble free grilling I've had in 35 years. I also wanted to say that the weber replacement parts I've ordered have performed extremely well.
