Grill broke down mid-season, need advice

My 6 year old Weber started having temperature control issues. It'll spike to 500+ degrees even when I have the knob on low. Cleaned the burners and checked the regulator but no luck. Should I try to replace some parts or just bite the bullet and get a new one? I do a lot of grilling so I want something reliable. Budget around 400-600 bucks.

Temperature control issues are the worst. Have you checked the thermometer itself? Sometimes it's just a bad sensor reading rather than the actual grates getting that hot. If it's 6 years old though, might be time to start shopping around.

My Weber did the same thing last summer. Turned out it was a clogged fuel line preventing proper gas flow regulation. Worth having a pro look at it before you replace the whole thing.

If you're handy, cleaning the valve regulator and checking your propane tank gauge could fix it for under $50. But yeah, 6 year old Webers are pretty solid - worth trying to fix before replacing.
