Electric red

Just seems weird to have burger fat dripping on heating elements like that.

Think of it like flavourizer bars...... Remember this wasn't webers most popular unit

Did you check the Weber web site for an instruction manual?

I was not able to find a manual anywhere.  Adding a few more pictures, this time showing the guts.  Correction on the element control as it is only direct or indirect.  If the rain will give up I will plug it in to see if direct energizes both elements or just the inner.

Wow that wiring looks a bit hacked !
I would at least wrap some tape around the connections before pluggin it in to see if it works .

The wiring almost looks like a jumper to light the direct and indirect at the same time.

I'd bet you plug it in and turn it on, both elements light up.

I guess it could be a fix for something that is bad.

Yeah, I'd wait for the sun to shine to light this up
