We've had the same Vermont Castings gas grill for about 8 years now, its played a support role in many of my videos. Recently I noticed a random blast of flame coming from a strange spot. Initially I thought it was due to a piece of crud covering a gas jet but it turns out the burner had holes rusted in it.
I
suspect I could have welded in patches to save the old burner but it wouldn't be
pretty and wouldn't last. That was the "cheap" burner which lasted 8
years, this time I opted for the "premium stainless steel burner". If it
lasts another 8 years I'll be happy.
New burner, new briquette tray:
New ceramic briquettes, new porcelain coated grill grates:
Total cost about $150 shipped. $150 doesn't buy much in a grill...
To
save wear and tear on the grill grates Angie bought some
copper/silicone mats that go over the grates and prevent crud from
cooking onto them, seems to work good and because they're thin you still
get lines on the food.
