I've always wondered if the Weber gas grills hold up longer than the $200 to $400 one

I purchased my Weber Silver B in 2005, and I still cook on it. I've had to replace the flavorizor bars and cast iron grates once each. Also, the igniter finally bit the dust last year, but I just manually light it now which is just as easy. There may be an issue with the regulator as it doesn't quite heat up as fast, but still fine for my purposes. Everything else is doing just fine. I'm in no hurry to get another grill.
