checked at castle rock target and a target up off arapahoe and I25 and all bbq stuff is gone :(. i suppose i will just have to drop the $18 and buy one from weber.....

use some kind of cleaner, i get mine at the dollar store, and spray so that it gets under the vents. that usually gets it freed up. if not then drill out the rivets and replace withh ss hardware.

I used 3 in one oil on mine. Make sure the little tab stops are not folded down and causing issues. All of mine were bent down on the three lower daisy wheel vents.
