Well my 4 year old Charmglow grill from Home Depot decided that the burners were about done a couple of weeks ago. (That review belongs in a different place, can't believe they've already blown out, but maybe I use it too much) On getting replacement burners, I almost decided to get straight replacements, but I've really wanted a sear burner ever since they started gaining in popularity, since steak is one of those once a week dishes that the wife and I enjoy. Enter this dude.
First, it seems really well made. Decent quality stainless steel, better priced than some of the others, and it uses a 1" tube, just like my regular Charmglow burners. The length and width also seemed to be a fit looking at the description, and sure enough, it was a drop in install. Had to tweak the ignitor out of the way, but other than that, it fit perfectly into a grill it wasn't designed for!
The surface area is a bit small, plan on one large ribeye at a time or a couple of smaller cuts of meat. It also doesn't fit my igniter, again, it wasn't designed specifically for my grill, this is just a heads upnothing that a $3 extended reach lighter doesn't fix!
Now performancethis thing works GREAT! Seared off our first steaks this week and it gets super hotexactly what we were looking for. Got a great sear on both sides then move the steaks to the regular burner to finish them off. Great product, great shipping, and better priced than a lot of the others out there.
Also, be aware of your burner BTU. This one is a 12k (ish) BTU sear burner. The larger ones go to 15k and 25kthat's a lot more gas flow. Make sure your grill can handle it.

I ordered this directly from Amazon and what they shipped me was NOT a Cal Flame Burner as shown in the picture. It did not fit my Jenn Air grill and the auto-igniter actually fell off trying to put it in. It does not look like the photo. This is the first issue like this I've ever had with something bought directly from Amazon.
