I am interested in buying longer burners and cutting them back. I have a Genesis Jr that my father got in the late 80s. He kept it in good shape and it has stainless flavorizer bars. But one of the burners is bad. The new models are expensive plus I see some people complain that the quality is not as good as the older models.
It seems to me that a welder or a metal fabricator could cut the tube shorter, flatten the end to make a new mounting tab and drill a hole for the crossover tube. my crossover tube is okay but i see some 3 burner tubes that might also work for the Jr. I can measure these again but from memory, i think the Jr. burner tubes are about 23 1/8 inch and 1 inch diameter and i thought the crossover tube was 12+ inches (not sure of diameter). I may do the tube cut down very soon so i'll post any results and if anyone else does it, please post so i can learn.
