I have been having trouble with the gas igniter on my Performer Deluxe. It would light, run a bit, but then go out. I would have to keep lighting it until the metal close to the gas port got hot enough to auto ignite. I did everything I found on youtube and I thought I had it working, but it started misbehaving again. The Kettle is in it's 11th year, so I decided to replace the parts involved.
I called Weber customer service and talked to a rep. She asked me if I had done this and that and finally asked if I had taken a straw and blown out the charcoal dust in the igniter tube. I had not. So I got the part numbers in case the, (oh wait - I can't say that...),straw trick did not work. But it did work, and the flame is more powerful than it has been in several years.
The rep saved me, (and deprived Weber), ~ $75.
Thanks Weber!
