Weber Genesis S-310 Gas Grill

I bought this grill in April 2010. The cook box is cast aluminum and the cook grate is stainless steel. I am already experiencing galvanic corrosion where the two come in contact. According to my research if stainless steel and aluminum are in contact and moisture is present, the aluminum will sacrifice (corrode).

This is without doubt a design flaw and will prematurely deteriorate the cook box. Weber has offered to replace the cook box. However, I would have to disassemble the grill to replace it. I do not feel that this is a permanent solution to the problem. Therefore I will be looking for a new grill.
