I had that problem on my last grill about 5 years ago. I cleaned it pretty
well and the burner looked OK so I just wire brushed it. After fighting
flare-ups for a few weeks I dismantled it and found that a third of the the
burner holes were clogged with corrosion. I replaced the burner and the
problem went away.

I gave the grill to my sister the next season as my new wife came equipped
with a major Weber Genesis gold (just an additional perk). She's still using
it AFAIK.
