Hi all,
My 11' Genesis 310 took a tumble resulting in some cracked knobs and bent or sheared valve stems. I've seen these posts before looking for the stems alone as a product to buy, which is always met with the same frustrating conclusion that you have to buy a replacement manifold or at the very least burner assemblies.
I find it pretty wasteful that a simple mechanism prone to such failure can't be easily obtained. My research has led me to Copreci as a possible manufacturer of the assemblies and I've contacted them to see if they produce or purchase the stems to acquire them that way. I expect to be waiting a while and met with disappointment, but damned if I'll say I didn't try.
Similar (but unfortunately not identical) assemblies can be obtained from Alibaba for dollars a piece. That's a price I could live with, but unfortunately, I can't find this design available there. I've gone so far as to measure and model the stem and am researching swiss machine facilities to determine whether they're feasible to reproduce. I don't know how many varieties of this stem there are across Weber grills, but I trust there are enough people out there who need replacements that I could fulfill a minimum order quantity.
This was a bit long-winded to eventually ask if anyone has a part-out Genesis that would be willing to sell me a couple of valve stems, but I thought I'd share the journey that got me here. Edit to mention that this is for a propane system - I know the assemblies differ between propane and natural gas, but I haven't seen a natural gas unit to know whether the stem itself is different.
