Weber 2400404 Searwood & Smoque Hopper Guard

What Problem This Part Solves

A missing, bent, broken, or damaged hopper safety guard can leave the pellet-feed area inside the hopper insufficiently protected. Replacing the original guard with the Weber 2400404 restores the factory safety barrier above the pellet-feed system.

The guard should remain properly installed whenever the pellet grill is being operated.
