Rusted side brackets

[Jeff Wildrick]

I just noticed that one of the side brackets on my 18" WSM (the brackets that hold the water pan and lower rack) is badly rusted, and won't hold the weight of the water pan any longer. It just bends under the weight. At the moment I've got it just hanging on for tonight's cook, but I wonder if anyone has experience replacing one of these brackets? Where can I get one (or three?)

screw the bracket

just use a nut and bolt long enough to hold the water pan.
heck, do this all the way around.

What year is your WSM? Perhaps call Weber CS? for a replacement?
