I ordered this a month ago or so. It came in and I assembled it that day. I figured out how to assemble it fine... other reviewers of this product on other sites said they had a hard time assembling it, so I was pleased to get over that hurdle. I put a fresh tank of propane on it and fired it up. No issues. Seemed to work great. I test ran it for about 10 minutes to burn off the coatings that are part of the heating element, then shut it down.

On another occasion very shortly thereafter I fired it up to test it and see how effective it was at making my deck more comfortable. Overall, the product did as I thought it would. It is effective within a few feet at turning a colder evening into one that is pleasant.

This weekend I had people over and we wanted to fire it up. This wasn't a test, but rather an actual use of the product. Totally could not get it to work. Pilot will not stay lit, no matter what. When it does stay lit, it will puff out within minutes. I once got it to trigger the main burner, but then it went out. Totally frustrating. This thing is brand new!!

I used this for several months infrequently, and then found all of a sudden that it wouldn't stay lit. I did some troubleshooting and learned that it would stay lit if I held the flame from a propane fireplace starter under the thermocouple that is heated by the pilot light. I don't know if the problem is a failing thermocouple or a less than optimum heat pilot light flame; but whatever this shouldn't have happened with a heater that was still on it's first tank of gas !!!

I'll eventually find some time to contact Customer Service and see what needs to be replaced.

UPDATE: I found the time to repair this heater. I started with the assumption (thanks to the other reviewer) that the pilot light wasn't keeping the thermocouple hot enough. When I dis-assembled the pilot light assembly, I found crud in the air collection chamber. I cleaned out the crud (and just for the heck of it soaked the pilot light "bead" regulator in auto fuel injector cleaner), and now the heater works just like the day I bought it.

Because the heater is very well built and easy to disassemble and repair; I'm bumping my rating from 2 stars to 4.

My dad had me order this on a whim. We wanted an outdoor heater so we could sit outside at night and all enjoy a glass of wine. Has worked great so far! As far as I know there were not set up problems...seems to have gotten put together fine. We bought this one because where we live we have a lot of wind and this thing holds up. The wind has ripped the shingles of my roof off but this thing has stayed in place. Love it!

Overall, the Endless Summer 233000 Outdoor Heater is a well designed and manufactured product. Assembly instructions are very clear, and with basic tools, can be assembled in about an hour. The "commercial" rating of this heater is evident in the quality of material, and the manufacturing workmanship. Follow the directions for igniting the heater, particularly when installing a new tank of propane. The heater worked perfectly for the first tank of gas, giving off a very even, comfortable circle of heat of about 12 feet in diameter. When used at a medium setting, the 20lb. propane tank lasts about 8-10 hours. When a second tank of propane was installed, a frustrating problem occurred. The heater ignited O.K. but would shut off after about a minute. Suspecting a bad tank of gas, I changed it for another tank, but got the same result. After several hours of diagnosing the problem, I discovered that there is a thermocouple near the pilot light that is heated by part of the pilot light flame. If the thermocouple does not "sense" enough heat from the pilot flame, it will shut off the heater for safety. Sure enough, the pilot flame was burning yellow, not blue, and the yellow flame is not hot enough to keep the thermocouple energized. A simple cleaning of the pilot assembly cured the problem. Some bugs decided to make the small orifice where the pilot flame emits from their home. the debris left by the bugs was enough to affect the pilot flame quality to prevent the heater from functioning. Note: since my original post of this review. I have had the same problem at least two more times, including a complete blockage of the pilot by those nasty bugs! Once cleaned using fine wire and compressed air, the heater works perfectly. Plan on ordering a second unit this year (2011) and buying some bug spray too!

These can be used for starting camp fires and kept in emergency kits for fire starting . They will burn while floating on water and light with a flint fire starter or match . (Just scrape a small amount of flakes or dust on top and strike the sparks into it and instant flame) I use about 1/4 cube and wood to start a fire in my Kelly Kettle and one cube by its self will heat a 2.5 pint kettle to the point of steaming . No doubt two would cause it to boil . Cubes are large enough that they can be cut in sections and used to stretch them further . My point is this is more than a charcoal starter and is the best you can buy at a great price . This is one great product .

Thought I would add I do use them in my Weber Chimney for charcoal and they work great . I also noticed one reviewer said they melted. I have never had one melt or run, and I've used many of them . I'm not sure they are using the same product .

I do a lot of smoking and have tried quite a few products. Kingsford Match Light is very easy to start, however it adds a terrible taste to meat and quite honestly makes me wonder about health repercussions. I have tried lighting charcoal with light fluid, which works ok and just has the same problems as Kingsford Match Light. I have spent time lighting charcoal with newspaper and a chimney, which works very well, except for all the burnt paper that goes all over the place. I started using Weber's Light Cubes a few weeks ago and couldn't be happier. For starters they light charcoal faster than any product I have ever used. They burn very clean and do not ash like paper does. I do not see myself ever lighting charcoal again without these cubes. These cubes are perfect for light charcoal.

These are my favorite way to start coals. Just need one (or two if lighting the whole kettle) under a pile of coals. Light with long wooden match from underneath. 20 minutes later your coals are ready to spread out, and they don't smell like chemicals or gases! RECOMMEND HIGHLY.

Honest reviews on Weber 7417 FireStarters Lighter Cubes, 24 Count

I just got a Chimney Starter, and these Cube. Being new, I used 3 cubes in a triangle under the chimney. I used lump charcoal, and Wow! the charcoal were ready in 10 mins. Yes 10 mins. Next time I will use 2 or maybe just 1 cube.

The combination of the Chimney starter, and the lighter cubes is just superby. My charcoal lighting problems are over. I can focus on the Marinade!!

I use these Weber Start Cubes to light my charcoal chimney whenever I'm using my charcoal grill or smoker. The alternative is using newspaper that results in a lot of ash blowing around and it is a mess.

Just light one of these under your charcoal chimney and it does the trick. No need to use 2.

I haven't used these in any other way, but I can imagine these would work good in any situation where you need a flame to stay lit for 10 minutes regardless of weather conditions.

I live by the ocean and the pipe burners on my Charmglow 720 were rusted out and completely shot between the use of the BBQ and the salt air.

The Charmglow replacement pipes were $32 per pipe! The specs on these were pretty much the same. So for $13 for 3 pipes, I went for it. GLAD I DID!!

They slid on the fuel jets perfectly and I had a steak on the grill 30 secs later! I'm going to order another pack, just for backups in a year or 2 or 3...

My thinking? I'll have 6 new pipes for less than the price of 1 pipe from Charmglow. $26 vs. $192. No brainer for me!

This grill is about one 1/2 inch short from side to side but it still rests on the edge footings. It should probably be 24" wide to rest on the depth footing but it still fits.

Honest reviews on Music City Metals 92901 Steel Wire Rock Grate Replacement

I have a D3 (D39N) from 1993 and the original rock grate is 13 1/4" deep.

Unfortunately this Music City Metals replacement grate is 13 1/2" deep, and that extra 1/4"

prevents it from properly seating on the grate ledges; instead, it lays along the side of

the grill body way above the ledges, making the grate un-level.

I believed the description where it states that it will fit a D3.

Perhaps later era D3's have a slightly wider body, but all I know is that it definitely does not

fit my D3. I'm probably going to return this and buy the genuine Broilmaster part.

Honest reviews on Cooks Fork, Forged, Extra Heavy

Like the other review mentioned, this fork (I received the 14-inch size) is quite heavy -even more so than some other, more modern designs. The tines are sharp, the wood is real, and if you're looking for a heavy-duty, solidly-built carving fork, you really can't go wrong.

My one complaint: The rivets that hold the wood to the metal aren't all flush with the surface. It's a very minor complaint, but for the price I paid, I can't complain at all!

Great forged cooking fork--this is not your modern, flimsy, plastic / nylon / teflon fork, but a substantial, well made fork. It comes in more than one size, so if ordering one, be sure you figure out what size you really need. I am very pleased.

90242 2-pack Brinkmann Gas Grill Heat Plate Porcelain Steel Heat Review

90242 2-pack Brinkmann Gas Grill Heat Plate Porcelain Steel Heat Shield for Mcm, Lowes Model Grills
Customer Ratings: 5 stars

I found a Brinkmann Pro series 2500 for free that had the burners and heat shield rusted out. I found replacement burners for a great price, but the heat shield was very expensive for the exact replacement which should be a 2 pack of 12"x12" (12"x24" total aprx). So I looked for alternatives to the exact replacement. I found this which is 16 3/8" x 12" for each shield. So I figured I could turn it sideways and use 1.. It is a few inches short, but does cover 3 of the burners if slid all the way to the side, which is perfectly fine for me. And I have an extra one laying around as a spare! So considering I paid 15$ for a pack of 2, when the exact replacement was closer to 60$ on amazon, I think it was a great deal.

They also arrived quickly and in undamaged condition.

I ordered both types of Weber grill pans the vegetable and the flatter one. I use both extensively and they are the best grill pans I have used.

Smoked some ribs this weekend using these. I like them, however they don't seem to hold a fire. By that, I mean you can't just toss these on some hot coals of ones you previously threw in and expect it to start burning like other woods will. I had to toss some charcoals in with them to get them started or it would've just died. Next time I will add some hickory wood chunks with it and see how it goes.

I'm using this to monitor the internal temperature of my Weber Smokey Mountain. Initially, I was looking at some very expensive thermometers, but I thought the price was low enough for this one that it was worth a shot. Gotta say, it's working like a champ. My cooks are coming out wonderful, and the instrument is accurate. It does seem a little on the fragile side, but considering the price, I guess that's not too surprising.

Click Here For Most Helpful Customer Reviews >>

Well built thermometer, but understand its limitations. This model covers from 100 to 500 deg. F. Therefore don't anticipate accurate readings in a narrow range. For "smoking", many consider 200 225 to be an ideal temp range, so a 150 to 400 deg F unit will be far easier to use; Amazon doesn't list one. For deep frying, the same smaller range will be far better to check on oil temperature ONLY. Still not for meat temperature.

Turkey is moist and tender at breast temp of 165 deg F, but tough and stringy at 175 deg and higher. That's a circular dial distance of only about 1/8th of an inch on this unit. Worse, beef internal temp range is about 124 deg F. to 132 deg from rare to beyond-medium. The great news is that Amazon sells digital remote thermometers (plus also cheap replacement probes) that are far more logical for monitoring meat temps. In a fryer basket, the turkey breast is fairly close to the surface of the oil, so it is easy to insert a digital thermometer probe. Just be sure to wear a suitable safety glove, which you must have anyway when deep frying. [I actually use a digital remote Amazon thermometer to check fryer oil temp as well as smoker temp, as back-up to a round analog thermometer. Also stock spare probes).

Without an adjustable hose, it seemed the flame would start to die down due to weak pressure and I'd take the tank in for a refill when it was still half full. There is something with the pressure regulators that makes it tough to use the last quarter of a tank. With this I am actually able to drain the take to empty and use every bit of propane in the tank. The hose pays for itself after just a tank or two...
