I have a 2001 Weber Genesis Silver B, and last year it started being reluctant to heat quickly and all the way to 600. Last week the grill never got hotter than about 400, so I knew something was wrong. I took the grill apart and looked at the flame, and it was fairly yellow. Also, the bar that connects the three main burners wasn't working to transfer the flame from one bar to another.

I bought this set from Amazon and installed it today. You have to take the grill apart, including taking the control panel off, the manifold off, disconnect the gas, take the flavor bars and grates out, etc. After I had everything uninstalled I elected to drag mine out in the yard and pressure wash it. After it dried I installed the new burners, new flavor bars, new grates, etc. I went all stainless this time. The flame coming out of the new burners is blue, and is very hot. I also put a new starter in, and the grill starts so nice and easy and the bar that connects the three burners transfered the flame from one burner to another. It reminded me of when I first bought it. The grill heated up to 500 in about 5 minutes...a night and day difference from before.

You might think I'm crazy for investing $160 in grill parts, after all some grills only cost $160 for the entire grill. I know that my Silver B is good for another 5 years at least, and I LOVE this grill. Who knows when they'll stop making parts for these grills?

Anyway, my advice to you is if you have a Weber gas grill that is more than 6 years old and you haven't replaced the burners yet, and you are experiencing any of the symptoms I described, don't hesitate to put in new burners. It's relatively easy, and it makes a huge difference.

I was very impressed how easy it was to install the new burners in my Weber Grill. I've had the grill for probably 10 years and decided to replace the burners, flavor bars and grates. All were reasonably priced on Amazon with fast shipping even using the free Super Saver Shipping. Getting the burners out would have been easier if I would have waited to get the new ones first before trying to figure out how to remove them myself. I made the removal much harder than it should have been and the instructions were great. With the replacement of the grates, flavor bars and burners it is like I have a new grill for about $100 total.

Great! Burners were easy to install - Just follow the included directions. All you need is a Phillips Screwdriver. I also purchased a new push button ignitor at a later time. If you get the igniter with the burner set you will only have to remove the side control knob plate once.

I am finally taking the time to replace the original set of burners on a grill that I purchased 7 years ago. The previous grill I owned did not even last 5.

The burners I am replacing are lightly rusted and still produce a nice flame but more yellow is appearing now than before even after a good cleaning so it is time for a replacement though I could wait to replace them for a few more years. Unlike other brands which claim to have stainless burners that will disintegrate within a matter of 2-3 years Weber makes there burners from a high grade stainless that will easily last for a decade before needing replacement. Take it from me that these are fantastic as I live in a high humidity environment where cheaper grills will rust within just a couple of years.

These burners produce a quality flame that puts out a nice even heat. These are easy to light.

Simple thing to remember, if you are buying a grill buy a Weber. Weber is the highest name in grills, their customer service is fantastic, and you can always find replacement parts (even small parts that are no longer used on current models and have not been used for several years). No other brand comes close to the quality, customer service, and availability of old parts as Weber.

I will manage to get another season or three out of my Weber by installing this Burner Tube set - installation was a little difficult, but once done the grill works great! Be aware that these burner tubes are bolted down in the grill - the bolt is typically very corroded and likely impossible to remove. Grinding or cutting it off helps remove the old tubes, then just lay the new tubes on the support. Once the cross-tube is installed and the three burner tubes attached to the fuel supply, they are sturdy enough not to need the corner bolts.

Quickie install instructions:

- think safety! Safety glasses, turn off gas, don't run with scissors!

- remove grills, burner guards

- remove bits and pieces of corroded tubes

- Unbolt (or grind/cut off) corners (left front and rear)

- pull tubes away from fuel valves, twist to get through opening (this can be a little difficult)

- take a moment to brush out burned crud in bottom of grill

- insert center tube, push firmly onto fuel supply tube (under knobs); orient with perforations up

- insert cross tube, perforations toward center of grill (right)

- insert front or rear tube, fit onto fuel tube then cross tube;perforations toward center - push firmly onto fuel tube

- put bolts back in place if removed, otherwise burner tubes should sit squarely on corners

- replace guards/grills

- fire that baby up!!

The bulk of any problems we ran into when installing this was the fact that all of our screws that we had to remove were rusted, stripped and broken. Once we got all the old junk removed, the new tubes were a breeze to install. Our Barbeque seems 10 times hotter and works like new now.

I asked my husband to install this, but he looked at the 2 sets of instructions that were in the box and said it was very complicated and he would have to do it later. I waited until he scurried off to the golf course, used the shorter instructions (which were very clear), and installed it in 12 minutes with just a screwdriver to loosen the old tubes. I had already replaced the flavorizer bars, so now the grill runs almost like new and is cooking evenly again. I am very happy with this.

Bought stainless steel flavorizer bars, grill plates, and burner tube set to upgrade an 8 year old weber grill. The 3 made the grill act like new! Very pleased with the product.

Just put this baby in and works great. Got the ol' Weber up and running for another umteen years. Buying a Weber was worth the investment. Just replace a few parts when needed and a "new" grill is there. These burners were easy to install with a little sense wouldn't need the directions

I bought this Weber burner tube set to replace the 10-year old cracked set in my Weber Genesis Silver B (2001 model). The new burners were relatively easy to install and my grill now works as it did when purchased. The spider guard screens on the new burners is metal as opposed to the large plastic screens on the original, but this appears to be an improved design. Maybe I should buy a second set so that I can repair my grill again in another 10 years! As the instructions indicate, you do not have to remove the screws inside the grill box at the far end of the burners to remove or install the burners as they are guides.
