Got this for a good price compared to other places, $60. The product was a direct replacement or my costco purchased Sureheat Tuscany grill SGR30MLP. Shipped within a day or two and got it within a week. Have to say that I expected more from the grill then having to replace the burnt out burners after only two years. Won't recommend the grill. Hope these last a bit longer. The flavor bars are just as bad and will need to be replaced.

To replace the burners you have to take off the front inside housing because the burners are placed underneath it, which could be difficult because the six or so screws are probably corroded, like the old burners. Use a socket not a screw driver. The burner comes with the two replacement electrodes for the starter and you have to put them on the burners themselves, but that is rather simple. You will need to take a piece off your old burner, the deflector plate, to put on the new one. Good luck on those screws also. When I was done, fired it up and receive a new blue flame for my troubles.

After shopping around online, i found this replacement burner setup for significantly less than other vendors. Based on the overall positive reviews, i decided to give it a try and was pleasantly surprised. The burner came with no instructions at all, but using removal of the old burner as a template, it was really easy. When i removed the old burners (way overdue for change) the support bracket the burner and deflector mount to fell apart at the mounting holes. Because of this, I had to become creative in mounting the new burner (not Music City's issue). What I did was use 2 1" L-brackets. I purchased small bolts/nuts/lockwashers and bolted the new L-brackets and the old deflector to the burner using the outer 2 screw holes. I then marked and tapped holes in the back wall of the BBQs support wall and mounted the burner using the provided self-tapping screws.

Some reviews mention the installation is difficult, which it really is not. If you do not need to customize due to the BBQ being in poor shape, it is:

1. Remove all 3 grid sections

2. Remove all 3 deflectors sitting over 3 burner sections

3. Remove warming rack that sits above the grill (this gives you all the room you need to get the old burner out and new burner in easily.

4. Remove the 3 screws holding the old burner in place (mine had rotted out which led to mod above)

5. Disconnect ignition wires from old burner.

6. Remove old burner by gently pulling it up and back to get the front of the burner off of the gas feeds at the front of the grill

7. Mount the electrodes and provided deflectors onto the new burner with screws provided (I only used 1 each so I had 2 left over for mod)

8. Slide new burner into place making sure all three burners are on their individual gas feeds

9. Install ignition wires on new electrodes (I found this easier to do before burner was screwed in place)

10. Test burners and electrodes by trying to light grill (better now than after it is screwed in place).

11. If all is good, screw burner and old deflector (from original burner) into place on support leg of grill.

12. Re-install deflectors over burners, grids and warming rack and you are done.

This whole process took less than 30 minutes, using a screwdriver with a 1/4" bit, and using a cordless drill to tap the new holes I used to mount using L-brackets. I also used the 1/4" bit in a cordless drill to drive in some of the screws, but it is not a necessity.

I was surprised to find a replacement for my Costco Tuscany (Sureheat) grill SGR30MLP. I live in SoCal and I got it THE NEXT DAY with the free super shipping. It's a direct replacement to the easily corroded steel burners. Stainless steel grills have skyrocketed and I am now taking better care of this grill so it will not rust anymore. I called Sure heat and ordered a new cover for it. DO NOT put the cover on the BBQ useless it's 100% cooled down or it will shrink and begin to crack.

STOP BY THE HARDWARE/MARINE SUPPLY STORE AND PURCHASE self taping stainless steel screws to remount the burner back into the grill and to other burner parts. The supplied screws WILL NOT attach to other parts unless you use a drill with hex head attachment and a lotta pressure.

The burners attach only at the back of the grill. It is not necessary to remove any sheet metal at the front of the grill as the burners simply slide in and out at the front.

Honest reviews on Music City Metals 13033 Stainless Steel Burner Replacement for Gas

Thanks for the feedback on the stainless steel burner replacement. Since we paid $400 for this grill in 2007 it's been right on our budget. We bought this from Costco as: Tuscany SGR30M aka: Tuscany SGR30MLP. It's made by sureheat in GA. I did reach them today (800-229-5647) and discovered I almost purchased the wrong parts since I did not look at the model on the BBQ door. After 20 min of hold time I didcovered they still make replacement parts but did not order them. They also took down the website for BBQ's since they only make parts now.

This is the Cheapest buy for a stainless steel replacement burner. I found replacement "flavor grids" in stainless at an eBay site for $20!! @

The only part I can not find yet is the stainless "flavor grid" next to the infrared burner on the far right (inside the grill). It has a different shape than the two on the left. There are 3 total. Stainless grills are crazy expensive right now. Glad to find better than new quality replacement parts. If you do have to order new parts from the Mfg'r Costco said they will order them for you if you bring the Exect Store Mgr your order sheet and payment. The MFG'r does not charge Costco shipping since it will ship on their truck. These grills are no longer made. order parts while their still available.

The delivery service was very prompt. The burner was perfect and easy to install. However, all the screws were missing from the package. Rather than send the whole thing back, I bought new screws at the local hardware store. The screws were NOT an easy match, and I had to improvise using smaller bolts with nuts. Everything works perfectly now that it has been installed

Reviews of Cuisinart Outdoor Grilling Steak Thermometers, Set of Four

List Price: $19.99
Sale Price: $12.72

These thermometers seem to be essentially the same as others I've purchased in the past from different vendors. I wonder if they are all being OEMed from the same manufacturer but with different printing on the dials to customize them for the seller.

One thing that not all the sellers tell you (but Cusinart, to their credit, does in the included instructions) is that these thermometers are not safe to use on your grill in the manner you would expect and desire. Instead they make a big deal about them being dishwasher safe! What is not mentioned on the web page is that you must insert and immediately remove the thermometers once you've taken a reading. You are not supposed to leave them in the meat while it is on the grill and the lid is closed. Apparently these "Outdoor Grilling" thermometers can't take the heat in a grill. I have used another version of these sold under the Taylor brand without knowing about this restriction and they did indeed stop working after a few sessions of being left in the meat while it was grilling.

So, if you find it convenient to insert these thermometers into hot steaks and them remove them (they are also now hot) after a minute or so then you might find them handy. And this particular set of 4 I purchased was reasonably accurate or at least consistent (three read essentially the same in 140 degree water and one was a slight bit low but probably still useable for this application)

I wish I could find somemone who made a grill thermometer that could actually stand up to the heat in a charcoal or propane grill. If that's what you were looking for, then you might want to keep looking...

I rated these thermometers 1 star but would prefer to rate them no stars, if Amazon would let me, since the gauges didn't even move. We had steaks on the grill and we knew they were near done. Put the Cuisinart steak thermometers in them and after 30 second no reading. We put our old digital fork type thermometer in them and they were done. Go figure? These steak thermometers aren't even worth the time you spend thinking about buying them. Horrible product!

Used these twice just to make sure. The temp does not reflect the doneness of the meat. Thermometer read MW and the meat was still rare.

Honest reviews on Cuisinart Outdoor Grilling Steak Thermometers, Set of Four

I wish there was a ZERO rating!

These thermometers all show a different temperature with my hot water test. (So..which one is correct)?

They are very slow to attain their temperature reading, so while you are waiting for the reading, your steak will already be in the next done-ness state.

NOT GOOD, but I suppose you could develop a future temperature prediction plan.

When a NAME BRAND like Cuisinart moves to CHINA, expect the worse possible quality.

I can't think of anything to do with these things except toss 'em.

Discount Char-Broil Universal Fit 22" Bar Burner

Customer Ratings:

not happy with new burner, first use had soot on foil used on baked potatoes. tried to keep flame low but still produced a yellow flame near center section of burner. Not at all happy.

I knew I had a Char-Broil with a similar though rusted out burner that measured 22" long. It wasn't really usable anymore so I took a chance and ordered this. I just needed a Philips head to screw on the feet and tubes. The tubes are a crimped metal and bendable, I adjusted these to the curve of the old solid tubes and it slipped right in. It's probably a very good idea to not stop there, but actually finish and slip the little lock keys over the tubes before calling it done. It locks the end of the tube over the nipples on the grill, they can help prevent those nasty propane fires and potential explosions.

I'm just wondering if this will last longer than the original one, about 4 years.

In a similar product (Char-Broil 2784253), one review stated that the Venturi pipe is too big for installation. The pipe has a maximum diameter of .850. I too had this problem (Kenmore grill). My solution was simple. I have a portable drill with a cone shape grinder attachment. With this attachment, I was able to enlarge the two holes in the grill box in a couple of minutes.

Not sure of the diameter of similar products. Too bad the manufacturers arn't sufficiently smart enough to list this dimension. I only rated this item as a 1 because of the missing info not because of its quality or performance.

This fit my ~27" wide CharBroil Quicset grill almost perfectly. I was going to get a new grill, but figured I give this a try. I'm glad I did. My old burner was rusted and falling apart. While it is super easy to install this keep in mind you have to probably clean your grill first. And that's mess. I purchased a citrus degreaser like this one Orange 88 Citrus Degreaser 1 Gallon from HD, put it in a pre-mix sprayer like this one Gilmour Select 'N Spray No Pre-Mix Sprayer 499 Teal/White and used that to pre-clean the whole grill. A little elbow grease after that the grill was ready for this. I just followed the instructions and didn't run into any issues.

My grill works better than before (and possibly even better than when it was new since this looks better quality).

Weber states to use only brass on their porcelain cast iron grates. I used to be able to find them at every hardware and drug store.

Best Deals for Libman Brass Grill Brush

Stainless steel brushes were taking off the enamel coating of my grill causing it to rust. Apparently brass brushes don't damage the grill as much. The biggest problem is brass brushes are hard to find as companies are switching to steel because its cheaper. Luckily I found this brush on Amazon for a good price. After using it for a season I must say the quality of this brush is very high. I have had no bristles fall out, at least nothing visible to me. Previous brushes would rust and lost bristles almost immediately, sometimes ending up in our food! Not good at all and so dangerous. This brush still looks like new and thats with me storing it outside and occasionally in the rain. As for cleaning, it cleans as well as you would expect it to, just as well as a steel brush. The scraper at the top is great for any stubborn spots. The handle is rubberized and the grip is great, non slip.

The only issue that I have with the brush is the handle length. It's just to short. Typically I run the burners at full for about 5-10 min after cooking to burn off any grease, bbq sauce etc. Then I turn off the burners and clean the grill. It gets hot being that close and if the grill is real dirty it can get to hot to clean at once. The brush works great but if they just lengthened the handle by 8-10 inches it would be prefect. Still, its the best brush I've used and I would definitely get it again if the need arises.

Honest reviews on Libman Brass Grill Brush

As with all Libman products, well made and durable. Brass is a must for(stainless steel will damage the coating) ceramic coated cooking grates. Cleans the BBQ in a few brush strokes. Other brass brushes that I have had don't last. So far there are no signs of wear.The only thing that I wish is that it had a longer handle (4 stars instead of 5). That's just my preference.

I don't get it. I just received this brush and started to clean my grill. All went well until I started using the scraper. As I got into the grate holes, the plastic on the brush head started to melt. There was just no way for me to clean the grate without the plastic edges touching the hot surface. I am not a novice at grill cleaning and had a brass brush with a wooden handle that worked just fine for 5 years but needed to be replaced. Guess I'm going back to a wooden or metal brush.

Cheap 7506 Replacement Straight Stainless Steel Tube Set Burner for MCM

Customer Ratings:

Bought this product because it was $15 cheaper that genuine Weber. I got exactly what I paid for. The burners were not the correct length to replace the Webers. I ended up having to put a 1/2" bend into the crossfire tube to get the ends of the three burners to align to reconnect the gas valves. Also, the end tab on the crossfire tube was not notched to accept the little metal plate on the crossfire tube, necessitating me to cut the appropriate slot with a Dremel. This is the notch in the far end of the center burner that allows the crossfire tube to pass through. It's needed to maintain the orientation of the crossfire tube and center burner it has to be there to allow the assembly to go together. By the way, zero instructions were included. But, after a lot of tinkering and adjustment, they're in and working. Just a lot more hassle than necessary. If I has to do it again, I'd buy the Weber OEM replacement.

I bought this rotisserie attachment because I recently purchased a new propane Kenmore barbeque with a ceramic rotisserie burner but the barbeque did not come with one nor did Sears offer a compatible one as an accessory. They come in two sizes: 36" and 45". Since the barbeque is about 36" wide, the smaller version is too small as I learned from other reviews by people who did not discover this until they purchased the smaller version. The 45" sticks out about 9" on the handle end which also has the counter-balance so one must keep this side of the barbeque clear or it will hit the counter-balance when it comes around. It only comes with installation instructions so I searched the internet for cooking instructions. I still experimenting in the area of cooking but if one can avoid grease fires, the results are pretty good. A cooking pan with water in it under the roast is mandatory. The spit gets and stays very hot so well-insulated gloves are required. The rotisserie itself installs very easily and is extremely solid. The spit is a 5/8' hexagonal bar threaded on one end and machined to a 1/2" square on the other so its length is not easily adjustable.

Upon unpacking the legs did not fit due to the collars being smashed during shipment. This was not a big deal and was easy fixed. Then I started assembling the grill and noticed that the handle was not level with the grill. Once assembled it was about a half inch out of level. The front meat shelve on the outside of the grill hung down about two inches out of level and would not hold a tray of food without it sliding off. Last but not least the top grill in the burner box would not sit level. The last three items could not be fixed without the use of some cutting tools and a welder. I thought for a second that I should fix it and move on. I later decided to just send it back.

If you seek a small smoker grill that approaches performance of pro-quality backyard offsets, this is the one.

I've been through the small Char Broil and the Master Built before finding the Medina River Outdoors 65, and the performance difference is amazing. When outside temperatures dropped below 60, I couldn't maintain even a modest 220 degrees with the other cookers. This Medina has already performed down to 43 outside and looks like it'll hold cooking temps well into the 30s.

The difference is 14-gauge steel that's 25% thicker than 16-gauge found on most offsets. Other difference is the pro-quality design of a cooking chamber lid that fits tightly atop the barrel cut-out rather than a loose and leaky lid that's the entire top half of many other offsets. Chimney and thermometer placement also superbly follow top-line cooker design as do the firebox door and damper setup.

Construction and assembly materials are heavy duty throughout with quarter-inch bolts holding it together that are twice the size found on others. Fit is a bit less than top-line precise but very adequate and as good as or better than I was concerned it might be.

For those expecting a lot of modifying with an offset, the only I found needed for this one are those recommended for any offset like fabricating a charcoal basket to extend fire efficiency cooking time and to prevent coal burn-through contact with the firebox, and fabricating a firebox to cooking chamber deflector to shield food from hot coal "grill charring" while better evening out heat distribution across the cooking area. I did some minor high-temp silicone sealing around the thermometer mounting sleeve and the chimney where it attaches to the box, though this cooker tightness likely made any additional sealing unnecessary. A nice surprise was finding this the only offset I've owned with optimum spacing between fuel and cooking grates for grilling.

So far, I've slow barbecued some back ribs at 220 degrees and was quite impressed that a 5-pound loading of charcoal briquettes lasted the entire burn with plenty to spare at the end. I fully expect low and slow smoking to be as hassle-free as a top-line backyard offset something I've never found or expected with any lower price offset, no matter how much modified.

Patio space needed for this offset is a mere 24"x40" including wheel and front shelf space a nice design from sturdy legs angled just slightly out from attachment to the barrel. Other nice touch is a rail system for the cooking grates to conveniently rest on and a grease bucket sized perfectly for a standard soup can to throw away instead of having to scrape and scrub the bucket.

The small size of this cooker isn't without tradeoffs. With all its excellent qualities, it is very small for an offset. The firebox measures 12"x12" so you won't be throwing many logs in there, the cooking chamber is 12"x24" which makes for a limited guest list, and height from the cooking grates to the lid top is just 6-1/2" which does eliminate smoking a whole turkey. Cooking chamber grate area is comparable though to an 18.5" kettle grill (4 steaks 8 burgers) and addition of the firebox when grilling takes it just over a 22.5" kettle grill capacity (6 steaks 12 burgers).

I don't know how well the efficiency of this 14-gauge package translates to larger 14-gauge offsets. 14-gauge is way better than 16-gauge in this size range, though one might assume physics could cause larger 14-gauge cookers to begin performing more like the 16-gauge small models here. Getting the performance of this one in a large size might mean going for the 1/4" steel of a "big boy" backyard offset, though that's for someone else's review.

A final thought on this cooker is price. Shortly after I ordered mine, the price jumped $95 (40%) and the new price might well have kept me from buying. Knowing now that it performs near those costing about 3 times as much does seem to keep this Medina within an acceptable value range at the higher price as well, assuming there's comfort with its cooking capacity.

Update I see the price has dropped to what I originally paid for it, bringing this smoker back to the great value it was when I bought it.

Second Update Looks like the price jumped back up again. I paid around $250 with free shipping. Still love the smoker!

Received this smoker is good order. Each part was individually wrapped in paper then, wrapped again with bubble pack and placed within the smoker body for even more protection! The exterior shipping container was 1/4" corregated and seemed bullet-proof.

Took about an hour to put together. All parts accounted for. Everything fit. If you can turn a 7/16" bolt you can assemble it easily because that's most of what you use. Unit is 14-gauge steel, weighs 106 pounds and will probably outlast me. (I'm 60.)

Never had a smoker before. Bought Medina River because it is made of steel...all of it including the grates. Normally, I'm a scrooge but decided to treat myself and spend a little extra. Glad I did!

This grill/smoker combo is an unbelievable bargain. The quality of the materials is that of a much more expensive unit. I have been smoking and grilling in sub freezing temperatures and the thicker gauge steel really holds the heat well.

I recommend this product for anyone looking for a quality barbecue that has limited space to work with.

Brinkman, though an American company, outsources their barbecues from China and like so many items made in China, its barbecues and smokers are made from thin Chinese metals; the screws and brackets easily crack and split. After three times of use, the thermometer clouded up to the point in which the temperature was no longer visible . When I called customer service about the damaged thermometer, I was told that I can buy a replacement part. When I asked if Brinkman had better thermometers to choose from, the response was no. After a few months -even though it was convered -rust covered almost the entire front hood -even though I seasoned the grill with olive oil before cooking on it. There are many horizontal barrel smokers out there to choose from. I suggest choosing something with heavy gauge steel; it's with the extra $100.

Purchased this as part of a Green Bay Packers Christmas White Elephant exchange. The person who received it loved it and I was kind of sad to see it go. I may order another couple of sets for my sons. (They are very sturdy and heavy!)

Cheap PayandPack 16 13/16" x 1" MBP 10361 (5-pack) Universal BBQ Barbeque

Customer Ratings:

The burners and baffles, even those made of "stainless steel", usually fail too quickly on most grills. Using water to quench flare-ups is bad, it turns out. The cost to replace them can be so high that it becomes a viable option to just replace the entire grill instead. What a scandal. This is a similar scenario to your computer printer ink cartridge replacement. This five pack of model MCM 10361 burners was a priced so reasonably that the per-burner price was just 25% of the Local Obvious Whack Every Sucker price of single burners commonly available. They restored the flame pattern and heat evenness to my Charmglow stainless steel grill. I just wish Amazon had a combo deal including the MCM 91241 "stainless steel" baffles (AKA: "heat tents"). too.

Six years ago, I bought the stainless steel Charmglow 3-burner version of the grill these burners fit. Last year, I noticed that the middle burner had a small hole. After procrastinating for a year, and the small hole not fixing itself (it became a big hole), I decided to replace it. The grill itself is in great condition, but still, is 6 years old, so I didn't want to spend a lot on it. These burners, for the price, seemed like the way to go, even after reading the negative reviews.

The order was received promptly and there were no missing or damaged parts. The burners themselves are made of the same gauge stainless as the originals, although there is no easy way to determine the grade. Since the adjusters have the screw on the bottom, there is no way to adjust them once they are installed (same as factory burners), so I simply set them all at half just before installation. They appear, by the way to be an exact replacement and fit perfectly.

The problem, should you ever want to undertake burner replacement on an older grill, is with the fact that everything inside the firebox will corrode over time and there is no easy way to remove the old burners. Aside from that, there is some disassembly required, including loosening the manifold to get the new burners over the gas ports, and Charmglow doesn't have any directions on how to do this. It isn't hard to figure out, but don't plan on staying clean. I had to use a cut off wheel to remove the old burner, then drill out the mounting screws. While the other two burners were still serviceable, since I had it apart, I replaced all three of them. I also drilled out the tapped (threaded) holes and put in stainless machine screws with lock washers and nuts so if I ever have to do this again (like if the burners don't last), I can just break them off.

The good news is the grill works like new, and the 3 burners are now balanced (they weren't from the factory). The flame is blue with yellow tips, which is how they are supposed to be and the heat distribution seems to be even. It took me less than two hours start to finish, and part of that was figuring things out. I have no idea at this point how durable they are, but if I can get a year or so out of them, they are easy (now) and cheap enough to replace.

Follow up: It's now 10 months later (late July, 2012) and the grill gets used an average of 3 times a week, including rain and snowstorms. The grill is stored in the garage and is kept loosely covered. Last night, I took the grate and flare plates off to check the burners. They are showing some mild wear, but are still solid and the flame pattern hasn't changed at all. These burners are at least as good as what came from the factory, and I still have the two extras that came in the 5-pack for future replacement. This was truly a good deal.

I started looking at new grills because "original" replacement burners for mine are $29.00 a piece. I only got two years out of the ones that came with it so I couldn't really justify the price. But @ 5 for about forty bucks you can't really go wrong with these. It took me about 15 minutes to install them and I've been using them all summer. They are "universal" so even if I would have had to bend the ends a little or file the corners or something I still wouldn't complain.

My wife was talking about buying a new BBQ because the burner tubes were so messed up. I spent 5 min. on the Internet ordered replacement tubes and installed them in approximately the same time and now our equipment is like new again.

I actually bought my grill from a friend who had left his burners on a totally melted his old burners out. I was really excited when I found the replacement burners for so little. They don't quite fit in where the old ones did because the ends on the old one were straight and these new ones have a 90 degree bend in the end that tilts the burners up towards the end and does not have screw holes to screw it to the grill. They still work great and I have been fully enjoying my grill this summer.

The 5 pack is great because I was able to replace all of my old burners plus keep a new one on the side when one wears out. They are stainless steal and I don't plan on them going out for a very long time but just in case they do I'm ready.
