I contacted Weber about the flavorizer brackets ,sent them pictures of burned brackets and they are going to ship new ones.
Am I on borrowed time? I have had the EX 4 for 2 1/2 years and have never had the auger, burn pot, or igniter out of the grill. I have smoked at least 8 briskets, 10 or 12 pork buts, several racks ribs and many steaks. I use Sams Club pellets $15.00 / 40 lb bag When I first bought the EX 4 probes 1 and 2 were erratic when I noticed the red plastic fittings were missing and Weber sent a new control panel.
i probably am on borrowed time as I am 86 years old and have nothing but good things to say about Weber
