We were ready to throw out our old barbeque. I did not heat evenly and took forever to cook food. I thought I would take a chance and see if Ebay might have the heating rods that may improve cooking. Sure enough, Ebay has everything. I looked up the model # for Weber and Ebay had the part. The grill works like it did when it was new. The rods were very inexpensive and they work. I am glad I looked up Ebay before I through this grill out.
