Spider/Insect screens
Your Weber
®
gas grill, as well as any outdoor
gas appliance, is a target for spiders and other
insects. They can nest in the venturi section(1) of
the burner tube. This blocks the normal gas flow,
and can cause the gas to flow back out of the air
shutter. This could result in a fire in and around the
air shutter, causing serious damage to your grill.
The burner tube air
shutter is fitted with a
stainless steel screen(1)
to prevent spiders and
other insects access to
Storage and/or Nonuse
