Hello Jim,


Sounds like we are talking of different "buttons". Yours sounds like
a thermal interlock on the gas valve to ensure ignition. I'm talking
of the piezoelectrics that, when flexed, make a spark.


This one was supposed to actually ignite the burner. It's not one of
those "hold until it's hot enough buttons". But if two or more things
are broken on a grill it is often less expensive to buy a whole new
unit. Except maybe on high-end stuff like yours.


In your neck of the woods (literally ;-) you probably have more
corrosion and spider web issues than we have here in God's country ;-)


Yes. We tend to just "burn it off". That's where simple grills like a
Weber excel. There really isn't much that can plug or break. Less
accident prone as well since the amount of available fuel is so small
compared to a propane cylinder. A few weeks ago one went kablouie here
in town and it burned down a house.

We use the Weber every other day and year-round. Tonight it's going to
be ribs and bratwurst.

I just fired up the Weber with Kingsford charcoal. Couldn't find any
mesquite in the store. Or lighter fluid, for that matter - but gasoline
burns off quickly. Tonight is chicken thighs, lamb chops, bratwurst, polish
sausage, and Hebrew National jumbo beef weiners. And I bought a big Costco
shrimp cocktail plate for the cold side.
