I've been caught more often than I would like to have been with my cover off after a night of cooking, then it rains in the morning.
My 2006 S-450 has always allowed rain water to filter into the smoker box than down into the grease trap.
This creates the most disgusting, foul, fly attracting disaster. Grease, water, heat and humidity. It's a time ticking chicken bomb.
Has anybody found a modification for this? I have searched wide and far. It's well documented that this was a problem for 2000 era Weber gas grills, but I cannot find if anyone ever found a way to fix this.
It's a design flaw, and the reason why you see so many of these units at the end of the driveway. The rain water leak not only creates these grease bombs, but it also ends up rusting out the whole lower enclosed compartment.
Seeking modification advice or documentation of any luck calling this into Weber.
