General Maintenance Weber Spider Stopper Guards Your Weber Gas Barbecue, as well as any outdoor gas appliance, is a target for spiders and other insects. They can nest in the venturi section of the burner tubes. This blocks the normal gas flow, and can cause the gas to flow back out of the air shutter.
Replacing Main Burners a) Your Weber Gas Barbecue must be OFF and cool. b) Turn gas OFF at source. c) Remove control panel: take off the burner control knobs. Remove the screws holding the control panel in place. Lift off the control panel.
Check to see if the igniter is loose in the frame. Tighten if necessary; see Step “Install igniter” for correct procedure.

HIGH. Flames do not run the whole length of the burner tube. Inside of lid appears to be “peeling.” (Resembles paint peeling.) If problems cannot be corrected by using these methods, please contact Weber-Stephen Customer Service. Check Inspect Weber Spider Stopper Guards for possible obstructions.
