Hi Folks,
I have a weber propane grill I bought from home depot in 1995 or 96, (don't know the model name) and i'm guessing it's sort of of like the spirt? The cooking area is 24" x 17.5", has 3 burners, and very heavy cast iron grates.
One of the first things I tried to cook on it was a whole rotisserie chicken. I would set the temp at 325, and after a few minutes, it would go down to 250-275. then I would raise the temp to 325, and a few minites later it would be 375, and so on. About a year ago I changed the regulator, and It didn't seem to help much. Last night I grilled chicken part, and the temp would go from 300 to 175, and back to 325 etc. You could stand there and watch the temp nose dive, and then come back up over and over.
I guess my question is if it's not the regulator, then could it be the flavor bars etc? I have never changed them out.
One more question. I will have to put about 100 bucks in to it to change out the flavor bars, and probably the burners, and am wondering if I should just scrap it and buy a new one, or is it worth fixing. It's 12 years old. Thanks,
Frank
