I had an old model years ago that looked like the 9300 and it had a vent on the back of the top. Does the 9309W have one.? Loved that grill but someone misguided person stole it.

No, the 9309W does not have a vent in the lid, but I believe there's a slight gap between the back of the lid and the lower body that acts as a vent. I hate to hear that someone stole yours. Fortunately, this is a good time of year to pick one up for a good price when summer merchandise is being cleared out.

Mine does not have the vent on the back of the top. As for a Weber electric grill, I never owned one and I'm sure they are good grills, but for the money the Meco is hard to beat. I cooked a boston butt for Labor Day --about 4 hours with element tilted greatest distance from meat at ~ 1 1/2 setting that was perfect. Great fish and steaks too. I have two Mecos, one for home and one for beach house. I do store the beach one inside when not in use.

Sorry to say Meco is not something I would consider again. Poor quality. I sold my Meco 9309 for $75.00 (a loss) and replaced it with a Q140 Weber. What a GREAT grill the steaks, chops, salmon, chicken and burgers have come out perfect. Our search is finally over after purchasing 4 propane and 2 elec grills based on HYPE REVIEWS. The Weber doesn't have a lot of frills it just grills the food great. 7 min each side for med steaks, 3 1/2 min each side burgers, 3 min each side salmon, 4 min each side chops. WoW just like clock work.

Sorry the grill was stolen. My original Meco purchase was a 9300. To answer your question, the 9309W varied in only two ways from the 9300: it came with the rotisserie package, and that there was a glass window on the front. Except for those two features they are essentially the same construction, including the top vent.

helloThe grill I have now is my second one the first one lasted about 7 to 8 years. in answer to your question; the grill does not have a vent but it has a windon. Hope that info helps you

Hi Robert, This is my second one too. Neither of mine had the vent in the back top. They work great.

I gave the grill as a gift and quite honestly I think it had a vent in back but can't remember for sure. I'm sure you could contact the dealer for more information. Sorry I can't be of more help to you.

Hello, Sorry to hear about that misguided person. To answer your question. There is not a vent, but I like that because it keeps the smoke in the grill to give the meat a more smoky flavor. Hope this info helps.

No, the only design is with the Infrared Sear Zone on the left side of the grill - feel free to contact us with any further questions: 888-977-6849

yes I noticed that. it works well, but the design could have been better. more room under lid and a little more btu. overall it is a decent grill.

Received this grill for Christmas. I like it a lot, but noticed a tremendous amount of smoke coming out at the rim of the grill during cooking, and once I closed the top and bottom vents too. Charcoal would not extinguish and turned into ash. Lid was "out of round" by 5/12 of an inch. Was not a huge issue in cooking, but reusing partially burnt charcoal is a cost saver. Weber is sending new lid, and hopefully equally rounded to make a tight seal between lid and kettle. Is it just me or is the metal thinner and lighter (cheaper feeling) than my 15 year old Weber?

This is the grill I have according to weber.com registration: Spirit E-310 Lp, Black, Us/Ca/Mx (2013). Thanks and good luck! Regards

I suggest you contact Sunstone through their webiste, http://www.texasbbqwholesalers.com. I purchased a grill, sideburner, 2 sets of doors, and a sink from them through Amazon last year. The knob on the side burner was bent in the shipping and the sink had a defect. I contacted them and got replacements right away. They were great to work with. Their site also has a section for parts and accessories, so I'd bet you can get the handles through there.

That's an item that seems unique to this particular grill. If you still have the instructions, and warranty, with information that likely leads to the company that manufactures this item and has the license the sell it under the WP brand. They'd likely be you best place to contact. If you don't have it, try finding somwhere bricks and mortar that sells his stuff, look over the box for info, or search on Google. Search for any place involved with any of his enterprises, and email, call. All it takes at times is one decent person who'll track one down for you. Not a great answer, but the best I can manage. Just keep trying. That's an item that seems unique to this particular grill.

No it does not. That one can be found at this link http://www.grillstuff.com/weber-weber-charcoal-grill-cooking-grid---hinged.html?productid=323&gclid;=CM7ppsKsgcACFStgMgodPRkARw. I believe it is model number 7433.

I don"t have a model number -- it is a charbroil masterflame unit. Very basic grill unit no extra side burners but it does the job. Easy to install. There aren't many options for replacement size and this one was approx the same length as the one that broke.

When the old Meco 9325 temperature control section failed after 3 years of heavy use, I discarded the entire grill and bought a new one. I didn't know a one-piece element/control replacement was available, but I wouldn't have gone that way.

Nope. You'd be looking for the performer platinum at Weber 1481001 Performer Platinum Charcoal Grill, Black (Older Model)

I wasn't sure so I sent an e-mail over to the Weber website. I included the model and serial number of the grill I had. They responded almost immediately. Suggest you try there.

This site has them but the top and bottom are near $100; I can buy something new for almost that.http://www.appliancefactoryparts.com/gasgrillparts/brands/george-foreman/grp90wgr.html

Do yourself a favor and send it back. I am very disappointed with this grill. You won't need the manual and therefore won't be disappointed like me.

Go on line and contact the company. My friend purchased a grill after I told her how much I liked mine and she just got hold of the company to purchase the aluminum liner and brickets. When Lowes still carried the grill I purchased extra brickets when I bought it, and then they ordered new liners for me less than a year later. They won't do that any longer.Surprised more places don't sell grills like this with all the condos and apartment dwellers around the country.
