I recieved the package in a very timly manner. It was packed very well. Came with all hardware needed to do the swap. The only issue I had was that the ignitor mounting bracket didnt fit on the burner very well. It seems on the replacement they combined the ignitor bracket mounting holes with the holes used to secure the down pipes to the burner. The OE didnt have removable down tubes and only had the holes needed to secure the ignitor mount. When they combined the purpouse of the hole it seems that the hole is in a slightly different spot and requires mounting it at a slight angle. Use of the ignitor requires several pushes before getting a good light. Whereas before it always lit the first time. This may be from other circumstances, not sure. Either way the product along with some new briquetts has made my grill new again! Product works great, nice to not burn food anymore with a burner that leaks out the top. Probably get another 5 years of grilling from it. If you lay the briquetts out well it makes a very even heat source.
Cons: No screen over air/fuel mixing ports. (bugs can get up in there and affect the mixture.) Fitment of ignitor mounting bracket a little off.
Pros:
Great product, cheap, even burn, came with all extra hardware needed. Installed fast and easy.I made the mistake of trying a generic burner from Lowes. Such a mistake. A little extra research provided better information to enable an Amazon search to find this burner for me.It's an exact replacement for the original burner in this very old grill.Works perfectly and I could not be happier. Thanks Amazon.All I got to say is works like a charm. Installation isn't too hard! Really replaced the old one, which was rusty and falling apart.
