Weber® Spider/Insect screens
Your Weber® gas grill, as well as any outdoor gas appliance, is a target for spiders and other insects. They can nest in the venturi section(1) of the burner tube. This blocks the normal gas flow, and can cause the gas to flow back out of
the air shutter. This

could result in a fire in and around the air shutter, causing serious damage to
your grill.
The burner tube air shutter is fitted with a stainless steel screen(1) to prevent spiders and other insects access to the burner tube through the air shutter openings. We recommend that you inspect the Spider/Insect screen at least once a year. Also inspect and clean the the Spider/Insect screen if any of the following symptoms should ever occur:
1)The smell of gas in conjunction with the burner flames appearing yellow and lazy.
2)Grill does not reach temperature.
3)Grill heats unevenly.
4)Burner does not ignite.
