Refurbish! The older ones are great. Yeah, the ash catchers are not as sturdy, good as the new ones. I did order that support brace that runs across the ring, Weber has those in stock. The parts are really pretty inexpensive. Take it apart and clean her up. You will see most is just dirt that needs a wipe down, Get a new ash sweeper for it, clean the inside of the bowl, it will clean much better. Get a diagrahm manual from webers sitem they have every piece listed. Refurbish...all the way. The new ones lack character. I could not stop on mine, actually got new Stainless steel door, and the other piece by the bowl. I spent a toal of 125 or so on parts, and got alot. Looks brand new
