What to do....

[Shuboxlover 480]

Long story short........I was VERY excited about grilling some nice steaks tonight, anyway, my grill (which I've had for a little over 5 years) is in need of burners (x3) and heat deflectors (x3) and I ended up almost ruining the steaks

Anyway, my question to you guys....I've spent the last hour and a half finding the cheapest place online to buy the parts.....$126.10 I only paid like $250 or $275 for the grille back when.

I don't necessarily have enough money (I could but don't really want to) spend $250-$300 on a grille right now. Do I just suck it up and pony up the extra dough to buy a new one, or do I spend the smaller amount to put new burners/deflectors in a 5 year old grille.

Let me know what you think. :thanks:

I have a Weber and I would replace the burners and heat deflectors before buying a new one. It was the small grill and cost 400 when new. Still looks new on the outside. I mainly use the front area and noticed the deflectors were getting burned up a bit there so I moved them to the rear and brought the back ones to the front. Will need a set of them soon. Good luck.

Unless the body of the grille is rusted through, I would replace the innards. I usually keep a grille for 2 rebuildings. The one I have now (Great Outdoors- Pinnacle series) is probably the best grille I have ever had. It will definately get rebuilt when needed. Good Luck and Happy Grillin. Pat

As 6wheeler said, unless you have holes in the body or hood of the grill, there is no sense in buying a new one at this time. Just replace the burners and deflectors.

I have replaced the burners and deflectors in my Weber once in 8 years, and the igniter just this summer.

I found the best place to purchase parts online is Amazon.
