Weber BBQ valves

[Brad93]

I picked up a Weber spirit bbq free after it had a small fire from the valves, thinking they would still be available. However I can't find them on an Weber spares page. Anyone know where I could acquire such things? They have CP Mex stamped on the side.

Brad u may need to look in the US for spares....or modify the whole unit

Or see if you can them apart and re-grease them with gas tap grease

I like a Weber bbq - I more into the simple low cost original kettle type thou.

Once saved a Xmas Turkey and a Duck with one - oven themostat broke and I finished off a Turkey/Duck off in one - wrapped in foil...

Needs must...

Served up lots of drinks and had late lunch of Turkey/Duck and salad sandwiches...



My Mother and my late Aunt were alive at the time - they were giggling with the "more Gin ladies - be patient - I promise you won't starve".

That's the angled type for the later spirit range with the knobs on the front. Mine has the knobs on the side.

I've had a good look through eBay but everything would require major modification to the manifold the actual burners. I've found a temporary solution though.

I've sealed the stems of the valves using an inert high temperature ceramic grease. I think the valves could do with lapping. I'll see how I go for now.
The valve that was damaged I have simply removed the valve and sealed the stem with loctite.

I will use an adjustable propane regulator to control the intensity of the middle burner. The other two burners should work correctly.
