I love the product. It was reasonably priced, and fit like a glove. My grill is now burning nice and even. Installation took a few minutes. I found that I used a phillips for the screws that were exposed and a box wrench for the screws that were obscured by the venturi tubes. I installed the tubes to the burner prior to installing the assembled tubes and burner onto the unit. I used my burner with natural gas; no adjustment was necessary. I did not find a way to modify airflow with an adjustable venturi, but the mixture works for me almost a unifom blue flame. The left side get a bit hotter than the right side of my grill, bt that could simply have been the wind against the grill.

I got to 450 deg in 15 minutes. Steady state was roughly 520, a little later.

For what its worth I ordered the wrong size cast iron burner (100% my fault, wrong part number) so I was able to compare cast iron to stainless for similar products. The stainless burner seemed to be well put together. The cast iron burner did not seem as dimensionally stable. The seems of the cast iron were a bit sloppy not so with the stainless part. It looked factory original these people know stainless, that is probably their forte.

My burner that came with my broil-mate was mostly rusted away to nothing after 7 seasons. This replacement seems like it is at least of equal quality if not better than the original. It comes with a new venturi as well, which is good since my original was also mostly rusted away. If the burner is not made by the same factory that made the original, they did a great job copying it. Side by side the new and the old look almost identical.

My only suggestion is to measure your original burner and compare them to the dimensions in the picture. I bought a cast iron burner replacement first. The description said it was the right burner for my grill, and I took their word for it, neglecting to measure my original burner first. When it arrived, it was 5" narrower and the venturi's would not reach. After I measured my old parts I found this burner with the exact dimensions I needed, but my grill was not among the listed grills in the description. Measure your parts and order based on dimension, not their description.
