I have a 2001 Weber Genesis Silver B, and last year it started being reluctant to heat quickly and all the way to 600. Last week the grill never got hotter than about 400, so I knew something was wrong. I took the grill apart and looked at the flame, and it was fairly yellow. Also, the bar that connects the three main burners wasn't working to transfer the flame from one bar to another.
I bought this set from Amazon and installed it today. You have to take the grill apart, including taking the control panel off, the manifold off, disconnect the gas, take the flavor bars and grates out, etc. After I had everything uninstalled I elected to drag mine out in the yard and pressure wash it. After it dried I installed the new burners, new flavor bars, new grates, etc. I went all stainless this time. The flame coming out of the new burners is blue, and is very hot. I also put a new starter in, and the grill starts so nice and easy and the bar that connects the three burners transfered the flame from one burner to another. It reminded me of when I first bought it. The grill heated up to 500 in about 5 minutes...a night and day difference from before.
You might think I'm crazy for investing $160 in grill parts, after all some grills only cost $160 for the entire grill. I know that my Silver B is good for another 5 years at least, and I LOVE this grill. Who knows when they'll stop making parts for these grills?
Anyway, my advice to you is if you have a Weber gas grill that is more than 6 years old and you haven't replaced the burners yet, and you are experiencing any of the symptoms I described, don't hesitate to put in new burners. It's relatively easy, and it makes a huge difference.

I was very impressed how easy it was to install the new burners in my Weber Grill. I've had the grill for probably 10 years and decided to replace the burners, flavor bars and grates. All were reasonably priced on Amazon with fast shipping even using the free Super Saver Shipping. Getting the burners out would have been easier if I would have waited to get the new ones first before trying to figure out how to remove them myself. I made the removal much harder than it should have been and the instructions were great. With the replacement of the grates, flavor bars and burners it is like I have a new grill for about $100 total.Best Deals for Weber 7508 Stainless Steel 3 Burner Tube Set
Great! Burners were easy to install Just follow the included directions. All you need is a Phillips Screwdriver. I also purchased a new push button ignitor at a later time. If you get the igniter with the burner set you will only have to remove the side control knob plate once.Honest reviews on Weber 7508 Stainless Steel 3 Burner Tube Set
I will manage to get another season or three out of my Weber by installing this Burner Tube set installation was a little difficult, but once done the grill works great! Be aware that these burner tubes are bolted down in the grill the bolt is typically very corroded and likely impossible to remove. Grinding or cutting it off helps remove the old tubes, then just lay the new tubes on the support. Once the cross-tube is installed and the three burner tubes attached to the fuel supply, they are sturdy enough not to need the corner bolts.Quickie install instructions:
think safety! Safety glasses, turn off gas, don't run with scissors!
remove grills, burner guards
remove bits and pieces of corroded tubes
Unbolt (or grind/cut off) corners (left front and rear)
pull tubes away from fuel valves, twist to get through opening (this can be a little difficult)
take a moment to brush out burned crud in bottom of grill
insert center tube, push firmly onto fuel supply tube (under knobs); orient with perforations up
insert cross tube, perforations toward center of grill (right)
insert front or rear tube, fit onto fuel tube then cross tube;perforations toward center push firmly onto fuel tube
put bolts back in place if removed, otherwise burner tubes should sit squarely on corners
replace guards/grills
fire that baby up!!
