I've had my Weber gasser (Silver Genesis B model) for about 6 or 7 years. To date, I have not done anything to it other than cook on it fairly regularly, brush the grates before and after use, clean out the grease pan as needed and ensure I had enough propane.
The past few cooks I've notice that if I turn on the front burner to high, it sets at about 250 which is usual, however as soon as I turn on the middle & back burners, the temps skyrocket past the 550 mark even when on low.
I have not examined yet, but my guess is that either the burners have worn out somewhere so the flame output is more than usual or their is a problem with the regulator etc.
The second question becomes is it worth the money to do a complete overhaul by replacing burners, getting new grates and flavorizer bars (both of which are shot) etc. or buying a new grill at winter clearance prices ?
