I would let it burn a whole longer to see if the flames even out some. But, most likely, that middle burner is rotting out and needs replacing or you need to open the vent on the burner tube some.
DId you do any cleaning on the burners?
Thank you! I bought all new stainless steel fasteners, but I will definitely now add a washerEven if a wing nut I would verify the wing nut is stainless steel first, then use a stainless flat washer between the bracket of the manifold and the wing nut. That tis how my Genesis grills were made from the factory
If the regulator was bad, all the burners would look like that. As attractive as that middle burner tube with the double row of holes is to some people, they don't last forever. You can try cleaning it better first but it looks shot.I cleaned the outside with a steel brush. Should I go hole by hole with a pick as well? If I were to get new burners is there any performance differences due to the difference with two rows of holes on the side vs the single row in top?
Could a faulty regulator also cause flames?
Yeah, I gave it another brushing and let it burn for about 20 minutes. It looks solid on the outside, but who knows what is going on in the inside. I also picked it up in rural New Hampshire where it has been outside with a colony of ants in one of the legs (all cleaned out now) - any after market burner tubes you’d recommend or should I stick with Weber - I think I may switch out the regulator and hose also to update from the quick connect.If the regulator was bad, all the burners would look like that.

I don't have a particular aftermarket brand that I use, I always look at the price and most recent reviews to make that decision. You can also just buy an acme nut to replace the quick connect if the hose is still in good shape, that will save some money.Yeah, I gave it another brushing and let it burn for about 20 minutes.

Thank you, All the wood stove dealers around me - there are quite a few as I’m in Vermont - carry it, and for much cheaper than for what it sells online. I thought it would be a good medium between the flat black of rustoleum - which always looks a little too gray to me. and the gloss of ultra high heat.It does look great. I never knew stove bright was paint. I always thought it was a treatment like gun bluing. Learn something new all the time
brilliant! Thanks for a new lesson learned!Thank you, All the wood stove dealers around me - there are quite a few as I’m in Vermont - carry it, and for much cheaper than for what it sells online.

I used stove bright paint on my Broil Master rehab. Very good paint with a lot of color variations. But expensive and I had one heck of time with the spray nozzles clogging up.

I've been thinking about getting Broilmaster paint for my broilmaster but I think I'm probably just going to use the Krylon or Rust-Oleum I have on hand.I used stove bright paint on my Broil Master rehab.

Josh, I saw a post of yours where you used ebony watco butcher block stain on I think Brazilian rosewood. Loved the dark warm brown finish, in other pictures I found online the ebony gave a more opaque black finish. Were the results you got because of the wood you used, the amount of coats? I bought cedar with a reddish tint.I don't see that it would hurt anything. If you want the rails to be painted it might be easier to take them off to do a nicer job though.
The Brazilian walnut is pretty dark that I used and I actually tried it on a lighter wood yesterday and it did not turn out very well. I wouldn't really recommend it unless you're using it on a dark wood. It also looked great on Black Walnut. I just used one coat. Covered each piece one at a time with a thick coat rubbed it in for about a minute and then rubbed off the excess.Josh, I saw a post of yours where you used ebony watco butcher block stain on I think Brazilian rosewood.

Thank you, but that’s alright, I just saw some examples online on lighter woods. I’m going to go to the hardware store and see what I could find that will give a dark reddish brown - maybe a mahogany.

I do have a lot of cedar laying around if you want me to test it out and show pictures. I also got a sample of something similar from another company that I can try.
