The gas was not coming through all the little holes (due to rust) so I took the burners apart and poked through each hole. Two months later the holes were clogged again, so I decided to replace the burners. Couldn't be easier! Like having a new grill! Nice even flame again.

The product arrived from this vendor when they promised, the instructions were easy to follow and my Weber Grill was as good as new in about a 1/2 hour. I would go this route again without hesitation.

I know that there are more expensive grills than Weber out there, but the question is, are they built any better? The simple burner system of my Weber Genesis grill is certainly built to last, and give an even grilling temp, time after time, year after year, with very few hot spots. I replaced my burners after five years of use, only to find out that I could have easily gotten more use out of them. The problem I had been having involved the transport of my grill across town to my new house. One of the support brackets had come undone, but I was able to grill for months anyway! Although, in retrospect, a bit dangerous. Thankfully, nothing happened. Having already bought the new burner tubes, I went ahead and installed them, and they worked great (even though my old tubes would have worked fine). Installation was easy, even for someone as "handyman-challenged" as myself. If it's time for a replacement, don't sweat the installation, but give yourself a couple of hours of time...

Overall, this is a great product, if you need a replacement. The best thing about it, is you will hardly ever need a replacement.

I have owned a Silver Genesis B grill for 7 years now, and due to heave use - it was getting a bit worse for wear.

This summer rather than buy a new grill - since the shell and frame of the old grill were still perfectly good - I replaced the flavorizer bars, cooking grate, the starter, and the gas tubes.

The directions are very good, and I managed to get the old, decaying gas tubes out. The older tubes came with plastic insect catchers that have been replaced by built in screens - where the tubes connect to the propane gas manifold. This is clearly pointed out in the directions.

I should be ready to cook for another 7 years on this refurbished grill.

The instructions appear to have been written by a non-native English speaker and the diagrams do not quite mesh with reality. That being said, if you can turn a screwdriver installation was easy enough to do in 15 minutes on a Saturday afternoon, and performance was like new. If your grill is as gritty as mine have some degreaser around (WD40 works well) and ample rags. Note that there are two items available with the three-burner set. Check the Weber web site, they will walk you to the correct item number. Should have done this a year ago when the middle burner got clogged...

Although I ordered a "model # 3611, 3-burner set" from Amazon.com, what I received was a 2-burner set, incorrectly labelled as being a "model # 3611". I then went down to my local Weber dealer and bought their "model # 3611" burner set, which indeed was the 3-burner set it was supposed to be. For what it's worth, I paid LESS at my local store than I did for the Amazon.com version.
