I recieved this grill as a promotion from a cigarette company. The regulator went out, and Weber sent a new one free of charge 7 yrs ago. This grill is awesome, but if you are trying to grill in a windy area, you will need to buy an item called a "Grill Guard" my father in-law used my "Grill Guard" as a template to make his own (Piano hinge and aluminum). The people at grillguard [...] are quite proud of their product, and their pricing reflects that. But a GrillGuard should last forever. My area is so windy, I have to put aluminum foil on the small slits on the sides, at the bottom of my GrillGuard. The Weber grill gets extremely hot!!, "IF" you keep it clean, if you don't keep the steel louvered tent above the burner clean, the juices will hit the tent and after a while will almost insulate the tent, and keep the heat from traveling up to your items on the rack. If you cannot find a picture of the GrillGuard, post a comment  and I will post a Video... With a GrillGuard (ouch), and a (Clean) Weber Go-Anywhere grill, you will have the hot set-up, if you still have money to buy the meat :)
