My 10 year old Wilmington Grill has worn out burners. Cast 410 Stainless, each one is approx. 20,000 BTU's.
Here's a pic of what the grill looks like:
and here's a pic of one of the burners
New WG's have lifetime warranties on their burners. Mine is a 2005 and only had a 5 year warranty. I was cleaning it up on Memorial Day, had my had resting on top of one of the burners and the top came off in my hand.
Per WG, the burners have scale rust in their opinion and are shot. They said the one that came apart may be able to be welded but I would only get 1 more year out of it. The other burner was also rusted but produced perfect blue flame.
There are no cracks or holes in the burners. The top came apart because the founder of the co used ss screws to join the top to the venturi. They are welded together now.
I asked how much new burners are, $120.00 ea plus shipping
. Granted if the new burners have a lifetime warranty it's the only time I would need to spend the money. I did not confirm that the new burners in a 10 yr old grill would have a lifetime warranty though.
I'm not against finding a cheaper aftermarket burner if it will fit. These look like turkey fryer burners, but I have not found a 100% equal yet.
I found this for $39.66 ea at Overstock:
Have any of you seen a generic version of the WG burner anywhere? Would you take a chance on the Bayou classic or just spend the money on the burners from WG?
