Holy darn. I just put to the curb the exact same model today from 14 years ago. I replaced the burn tubes three times. I replaced the flame dispersing baffles. I broke down and bought a weber Spirit stainless steel SP 335. I've been pretty happy for the first month. But I do have a 10 year warranty.
Thank you. I was given a fairly high end grill and the only things wrong with it is it is dirty and a couple of the tubes are burned out. Free $600 grill with a few dollars of repairs sounds good to me.
Good job. I subbed. I hear that propane is an abrasive gas, that it's hard on steel. More so than natural gas is. I have to replace our grill tubes every few years. Grill looks good on the outside, but the propane eats up that stainless burners. Still cheaper to fix than a new grill with the same problems.
Thank you for posting this. Leave it to an American to improvise and improve Chinese made shit. It's a shame that we have to do that sort of thing at all. You've inspired me to build my own burners now. Cheers
Same thing happend to my last BBQ looked great on the outside after 10 years but rusted to hell on the inside. I tried to fix it like you dide but in the end decided to scrap it and bought a new Napoleon
Great job! Those burners will outlast the POS grill. I would love to know where you source the pipe you used and see a video of you drilling the holes and sealing the end.
Time to give the Barbecue a good clean Man, Here's a tip, Cover the inside of the Barbi with strong Alu Foil, as much of the inside areas as you can especially the bottom tray, easy to clean just throw the dirty Alu away hey presto a clean Barbi..
+edward david I love this methode. I do it often so the sauces don't rust out the stainless steel grates. Then I spray with a cooking spray to protect grates from rust.

I bet if you put a magnet on your old burners that get burnt up, you will see it stick and that would tell us all that its not true 300 series stainless steel! I am interested to know if your burners are indeed 300 type stainless and if they are showing any corrosion after 5 years?
Hello I hope you are well just a question is what is the same principle for city gas sorry for my english I am a francophone I have translation with google thanks friends

Worth the effort. Store bought burners do not last very long, doesn't matter what name. I can see those lasting a long time.
I made mine years ago. Over 5 years. They still holding up. I used a very thick metal. Drilling the holes was the hardest part.
Well worth the effort.
Well it's been 7 years and the burners still look good I made a new video of them I guess I'll put it on UA-cam.

I hate that, those burner tubes are so thin and they just burn up and rust apart. This is a good vid, I'm glad you posted it.

First video I click on to watch how to fix my grill and it's the exact grill I have. Which I bought about 10 years ago. ☺

Hey you do a great job with this burner. I´ll try to do one like yours
Super well done👍
Awesome job. I have been contemplating ideas to build a grill. This information will help me a lot.
Nice work i bet the burners out last the grill you got a good flame
Nice! But I blame the maker for compromising the specs,for import savings.

Nice work buddy! Better to just make it yourself, as we northerners always do!

Pretty flame! Good job

nice work
hey now I'm not sure about the whole size I probably copied the holes that were in that other piece anyway they still work alright today
very nice. Does this need like a some sort of valve i forget what it's called to keep the flame from coming up the pipe and exploding?
There still good today.

How about that. Made in the USA! Nice work :)
Hello
I hope you are well
just a question is what is the same principle for city gas
sorry for my english I am a francophone I have translation with google
thanks friends
Nice work but according to title....shouldn't you show how you made it?
What size drill bit did you use?
I don't really know probably not but you can probably research it a little bit
why iron tube? why not copper?
Because it's stainless steel and it's perfect today
So wat size holes you drilling ?
+fastfreddy3000 In two years nobody cared enough to say "match the drill bit to a good hole in the old pipe" so I will....
In a pinch, you can buy a 3 pack on Amazon for $11.59
On the other hand, if you could find a way to make these out of schedule 40 stainless steel pipe, it would be worth the effort.

well, got to drill 300 holes!
