Greetings.
Indeed, I'm on what seems like the home stretch in swapping out my bad firebox for the new one I received from Weber last year.
The gas valves work ok - I wanted to service them per the great video posted here, but those screws are just awful. Considering they're working ok, I'll skip that.
BUT...does it make sense to replace the red (I think they're silicone high temp) gaskets/washers that sit between the valve body and the manifold? They seem like they're in decent shape, but hey, as long as I'm doing this, I thought it may be something I should do?
Also, that big rubber washer thing that sits on top of each valve is pretty much destroyed. Is that important? I think I read that's just to protect the valve from water, etc. That, too, I can't find.
If anybody has experience, suggestions, and even better - ideas to find the equivalent parts for these - please let me know.
Thanks all,
Kris
