Grate grommets for propane cooktop

[bensinc]

Silly question, but are these the grommets that go around the stove, which the glass top rests on?

Mine have been gone for a while now, so I should pick up some new ones if that's what they are!

They're the ones that hold the grates over the burners. Four of them around each burner.

Ah, and now that I'm looking at it, the stove in my 122BH is a Suburban, and I think you're all talking about a Dometic. I don't believe my burners ever had grommets, they just rest in the metal stove top.

Well, here you go. Was in Harbor Freight and saw a box of 180 black rubber grommets, assorted sizes, for $5. Decided why not? Took them home and the 5/16"-diameter ones fit the stovetop perfectly, and the box contains 40 of them! I already cooked over them for a few days and am satisfied that they hold up to the heat. They don't get too hot and there's no sign of wear or tear. Even if I do have to replace them every, say, six months to a year, so what? I'm so glad I didn't fork out the $60 for the real McCoys, and hope this saves you guys from it as well. Please spread the word if you hear of someone with the same problem. And thanks very much for all the great suggestions!
