That'a a really good point. The serial number on my Genesis 2200 is not readable.
Sounds like I should just go straight to ereplacementparts. Their prices are the best compared to other Weber parts sellers.
I found some great deals on Amazon for a few of the Weber parts I needed, as well as free shipping![]()
One note - some items that Weber will supply don't match the original parts in style - such as the burner knobs. There are places where you can get perfect replicas of the original knobs. Ebay is a good source for parts like that, but prices can vary widely.
