Picked up an old broilmaster double grill today...

[Eric-NH]

@Josh Dekubber and @Jon Tofte, what do your burners look like from the side, as I pictured mine?

 

[Josh Dekubber]

What burner of mine are you asking about?

 

[Jon Tofte]

I don't have a picture of the left side burner, but as I recall it was a typical bow-tie stainless burner, and it did have that stainless heat shield underneath. Similar to this:


This is the "half-burner" for the right 'oven' side that I posted before. This lets you see the side view with its shield:

Strange how different mine is. No holes, just a thin gap. Interesting

 

[Josh Dekubber]

On your broilmaster

My P4 or my G2000?

 

[Jon Tofte]

My P4 or my G2000?

G2000? - Did you go for it, Josh?!!!!

You'll have to see if any gas is escaping from those gaps in your burners. It almost looks like they have separated at a seam, but I don't know how it was supposed to be in the first place.

I was thinking the p4, but did you grab the 2000?!

It appears that's how it was made. There are screws holding the 2 halves together

 

[Jon Tofte]

It's alive! I didn't clean the burners at all. I hooked up the manual regulator that I was using on my traveler just to see if had a chance. It throws some SERIOUS heat. I do not think the thermometer on the grill side is accurate as it was only saying 400 but I could feel the heat from 3 feet away

While you won't find a thermometer EXACTLY like that golden oldie, you CAN still buy white square thermometers that will at least look close:

TG-2B - heat indicator

Broilmaster part# TG-2B - Universal bolt-on heat indicator replaces most factory installed indicators with 1 1/2

Yeah, that one is a great deal and looks closer to the original!

 

[Eric-NH]

It looks VERY close, I'll let you know when they arrive lol

 

[Josh Dekubber]

I just ordered 4 of them and with tax and shipping it was just under $20. I think they may even be NOS Broilmaster temp gauges

 

[Jon Tofte]

I am going to look at my stash first and may order a few as well.

I'm not even sure if I'll need to use them. Mine look to be in pretty good shape but for that price I wouldn't mind having some on hand.
