    Had one for 16 years and finally got rid of it along with 5 lbs. of mercury. Mercury vaporizes in the heat and is too much of a hazard to keep around. I was lucky in that they collected it with hazard waste recycling. It had to be packaged a certain way for disposal.
    It worked ok back in 2000 but there are just as good alternatives to setting up the Webers. I used velocity air flow and the glass viewer later on. Last time mine were set up was in 2004 and are still going strong.
