Hello. After months, maybe even years of searching on Craigs list for a Weber Summit I finally found one located 5 miles from my house. The unit was a great deal, never used, sitting in someones garage -- had all accessories including an extra grate, but they said it was missing a knob. I have had nothing but a great experience with my 8 year old Genesis, but wanted to upgrade to a bigger unit and give the genesis to my Father. Showed up last night at the persons house and grill was exactly as described, all brand new, a few scratches, but nothing to complain about. The issue though is with the control for the Rotisserie burner - it wasn't just missing a knob but it was actually damaged and broken off.
So now I'm there Cash in hand and ready to move on it and had to debate if it was still worth, he wanted $1500 for an unused unit and I got him down to $1440. He said he had gotten a quote of $200 for the part, therefore I am assuming that is for the manifold. I am attaching a picture so you can see what Im talking about, he thought that the piece needed to be pulled out but it looks like it broke off. I am going to try to ignite it using a pair of pliers, but I don't think ill be able to grip it. So my question for you guys - what am I really in for getting this fixed. My friend and I are pretty handy therefore if the whole manifold needs to be replaced I should be able to get it done, but is this the reality? Appreciate all your help. Started the unit up and all burners worked perfectly but this thing is going to drive me crazy.
Thanks
Chris
