A year, or so, ago, while searching for THIS site, I stumbled across a guy (in Maryland, as I recall) who rebuilds Weber gas grills. At the time, I was only partly interested. However, in looking at new Webers, I am COMPLETELY interested.
At that time, my wife was dying of cancer and my mind was going in a million different directions (not that it has since miraculously been able to focus much better, but I am now in a position of greater need to replace, or rebuild my existing grill) and I failed to adequately note the website or how to contact that individual.
I was hoping someone here might be able to assist me in trying to find this guy. Or, perhaps, share a site (or posts on THIS site) where I can start learning how to rebuild my workhorse Weber Silver natural gas-burning 20-yr old model, whose frame has rusted, but which still ”works” like a champ (knock on wood).
*** While I’m here, may I ask if anyone else is disappointed with the tack the new, publicly-traded Weber,Inc. has taken? The entire grills, not simply cooking surface, are flimsy; the cook boxes are no longer made of cast-aluminum; the burners now run back-to-front (instead of side-to-side - best for rotisserie, indirect cooking); and many more (seemingly, at least) cost-cutting measures, I’m sure, all in the name of pleasing Wall St profiteers?
I have contacted their once incredibly, second-to-none, help line, only to find that this service has been farmed-out and the guy to whom I spoke hardly knew about the changes I was mentioning and had no clue that rotisserie might be affected by this burner realignment.
REALLY DISAPPOINTED, WEBER!
I am extremely grateful for any replies to these two concerns.
