For the avid outdoor cooker finding the grill not working when it is time to barbeque is a major disaster. However, very few people stock barbeque grill parts as spares and with the durability of most grills, probably never will. The parts that simply cannot be ignored include the burners. When they get old and start to separate at the seams, there is an increased danger of sudden flare-ups as well as inconsistent flame putting more heat in some areas and none in other areas, which leads to uneven cooking.
