Actually it hums cause it doesn't remember the words.

Did the hum sound like the tune, "Zippity Doo Dah, Zippity Yea, My oh My what a wonderful day....?"..could be the old Weber was just happy about being used.

Hi GBG!

As said before Webber has a great customer service dept.

I called them about a rebuild on my 15 year old Weber and the lady told me what I needed and how to do it. Everything was in stock and was reasonable. For 125 bucks I had a new grill.

By the way, did you see the $1600 Webber at Aubuchons?

I saw that one- holy cow (or it should come with a cow for that price!)

Home Depot has the Weber S-620 listed for $1899....more grill than anybody needs!
I found one on EBay for 1200...way more than what my wife and I need....I had to go to CT to get it...brand new in the box, they ordered the natural gas model by mistake and didn't want to ship it back to CA..weighs just under 300 lbs.
I had to promise to cook every meal on it!! I refer to it as my "man grill". Weber is the only grill out there that is made MOSTLY right here in the USA...right in Illinois. Almost ALL the others are made in China!
Great piece of equipment, I don't expect I'll ever need another grill!

CALL WEBER! Cant say it enough. My experience with them is that even if it is uot of warranty, if they feel as though the part should not have broken they will cover it.

Hell you can even call them for cooking suggestions.

Now that was FUNNY... thanks for starting my day with a good laugh!

A former Farther in Law who passed a long time ago, could never remember more than a few words to any song, but would break into humming to keep up with the song. Cracked me up every time.

Not about repairs, but just a suggestion..........If you have propane heat and cooking at your home, have a line installed to feed your gas grill. We did, and life is GOOD. No more trips to the store and the long wait to fill or exchange a tank and no more running out of gas right in the middle of cooking a couple of nice steaks.

I have been known to leave a a grill on from time to time! That is the only reason I have not used the 120 gallon (full) tank for my grill. The previous owners used it for a gas log. I am looking at propane powered gensets.

That's what we did and I love not having to fill tanks.
