<BR>As far as warranty, that's an unfortunate circumstance--Weber has been o=
ut of business for a couple of years, though I believe they were honoring wa=
rranties up to a point. I'll look into it, but I don't hold out much h=
ope. Fortunately, the customers are not of the impoverished variety. &=

an instrument. I may see if I can get them to upgrade.
