Overview
['The RiversEdge WFB16.245 measures 24.5 x 2.38 x 2 inches and weighs 11 lb. That weight is notably heavier than most flavorizer bar sets in this size range, suggesting this could be a heavier-gauge steel bar or a multi-piece assembly. The dimensions at 24.5 inches in length are consistent with Spirit 300-series or comparable gas grill footprints.', 'At $56.99, this part is positioned in the middle of the aftermarket grill part range. No material type is listed, which is a gap worth noting, but the 4.6-star average across 279 reviews provides confidence that the part fits and functions for most buyers who have purchased it.', 'RiversEdge Products focuses specifically on grill replacement parts, and this model number (WFB16.245) follows a naming convention that suggests Weber compatibility. Buyers should verify this against their grill model before ordering.']

Performance notes
No fuel type, BTU, or cooking area data is available for this part. The 24.5-inch length and 11 lb total weight are the primary measurable indicators. For comparison, a standard set of five Weber flavorizer bars for Spirit 300-series models typically weighs in the 3 to 6 lb range in porcelain-enameled steel. An 11 lb weight here could indicate a larger-gauge steel set, a different style of bar, or additional components included. Buyers should confirm what is in the set before purchase.
What buyers say
With a 4.6-star average from 279 reviews, buyer response is positive. That score, combined with a review count in the low hundreds, suggests a part that consistently meets expectations for fit and durability without a large volume of negative outlier experiences.

Frequently asked questions
What does the WFB16.245 model number indicate?
The WFB prefix in RiversEdge part numbers typically stands for Weber flavorizer bars, and the subsequent numbers reference a specific size or model family. The 16.245 designation suggests this is sized for a particular grill model, but you should verify against your grill model number or measure your existing bars to confirm.
Why does this part weigh 11 lb when many flavorizer bar sets weigh much less?
The 11 lb weight is notably higher than typical porcelain-enameled steel flavorizer bar sets. This could mean the set includes more bars, uses thicker gauge steel, or includes additional components not listed in the product data. Checking the product listing for a count of bars included and their individual dimensions will clarify this before you buy.
How long should aftermarket flavorizer bars last?
Aftermarket flavorizer bars made from heavier gauge steel or with a protective coating typically last two to four grilling seasons under regular use, though this varies based on climate, how often the grill is used, and how well it is maintained. Keeping the grill covered and cleaning bars periodically helps extend their service life.
