Not sure what type your burners are, but check out that grilldepot dot ca site...the stuff on there (or most of it anyway) is listed as OEM. The stuff I'm getting isn't critical like the burners...I would want to know the gauge of burner etc. before purchase.

EDIT: Just thought I'd add this from my recent email from grilldepot dot ca. I received another email from Vermont Castings regarding some gaskets I was looking for. They quoted $3.00per and had a bunch in stock. I really don't want to bring anything up from them as I'll get screwed on shipping/duties so I'm liking the shipped from Canada thing. But wow....These gaskets were not available yesterday from depot so I sent them an email with the part number i got from VC. I got an email back 1hr later stating this gasket was now available online. $15.00 PER GASKET!!!...I just returned from princess auto with a sheet of 1/8" high heat gasket material and I'll make my own (All the gaskets are for is to separate dissimilar materials)...Even 15 for the pair would have got my attention as I did have a couple other things I was gonna pick up (cover, electrodes, etc.)

I can't say these guys are bad, but watch the pricing!!

well heck let me know how you made out...the pic they sent me was quite "child like" so I was not confident on pulling the trigger on over $100 for my burners.

let me know the quality....the original equipment was quite thick and heavy duty....I am just a little shy to buy something from them.

Not sure how you made out yet, but I just ordered some parts for my Vermont Castings from the site Rob mentioned. After several emails from Vermont castings (both sales and tech support). Along with the information they provided me and some emails to Grill Parts Canada, I think I found my parts...Along with my searching I also found grilldepot dot ca as well, but pricing was much better at the first, and I was also able to use a promo code of FATHERSDAY15 for a 10% discount. Now I'll wait and see if I can get the right parts! I'll keep this posted.

Try the "Weber BBQ Shop" in Saskatoon. They carry primarily Weber stuff but they stock grill parts for all major names... Good guys to work with.
