I've only had my Weber Gold 1 Touch for a week now. It's great and I have no problems, but I've only had it a week. I have a Weber gasser thats 14 years old, 3 burner model. The only thing I've replaced is the cooking grate 2 times and last year for the first time the flavorizer bars. The old model that I have has a double row of flavoizer bars, 1 in each direction. The past few times I have gone to use it, the front burner is giving me a hard time, either I have a cob web in the manifold, the burner is partial blocked or the burners are finally going. I guess things can't last forever. I also leave the grill out in the weather year round uncovered and use it at least 3 times a week. When it's days are really over I will upgrade to a 4 or 6 burner Weber. Oh yeah, and my WSM...love it!
