I have experience with several different Weber gassers. Before you do anything radical, Clean the burner tube and brush the orifices on the tube with a stiff wire brush. Clean the gas orifice with a brush. These two steps will usually fix any heating issues. I have experimented with enlarging the gas orifice outlet. Very risky operation. An extremely small enlargement will greatly increase the gas output to point that the gas pressure blows out the flame on the tube. And dangerous too! Good luck.

smokyYank have you seen a decrease in heat output, or just trying to maximize it? I spent 20 years with a Weber Genesis Silver A, and the fact is that it wasn’t the highest btu grill around. But it was plenty hot for cooking food. It will never reach surface of the sun 1000F+ temps for steakhouse quality sears on your steaks though. That’s where the flat side of Grillgrates or a cast iron skillet can help. The conductivity of heat from cast iron or the flat of the aluminum GrillGrate panel transfer to the meat faster and produce a better sear that you can get form just the hot air flowing past the grates.Comment

I’ll add something Meathead says somewhere on the free side. Put your hand over the grill at 350 - I.e. hot air. Bet you can hold it there for a few seconds. Then put your hand on a cast iron skillet that temps at 350. Let me know how many seconds you leave it on that hit cast iron. The conductivity is the difference. Hot air conducts heat less rapidly than hot metal. And hot metal also once hot acts as a radiator (infrared heat).
