HOME DIRECT MCM # 10361 Review by 58K

Six years ago, I bought the stainless steel Charmglow 3-burner version of the grill these burners fit. Last year, I noticed that the middle burner had a small hole. After procrastinating for a year, and the small hole not fixing itself (it became a big hole), I decided to replace it. The grill itself is in great condition, but still, is 6 years old, so I didn't want to spend a lot on it. These burners, for the price, seemed like the way to go, even after reading the negative reviews.

The order was received promptly and there were no missing or damaged parts. The burners themselves are made of the same gauge stainless as the originals, although there is no easy way to determine the grade. Since the adjusters have the screw on the bottom, there is no way to adjust them once they are installed (same as factory burners), so I simply set them all at half just before installation. They appear, by the way to be an exact replacement and fit perfectly.

The problem, should you ever want to undertake burner replacement on an older grill, is with the fact that everything inside the firebox will corrode over time and there is no easy way to remove the old burners. Aside from that, there is some disassembly required, including loosening the manifold to get the new burners over the gas ports, and Charmglow doesn't have any directions on how to do this. It isn't hard to figure out, but don't plan on staying clean. I had to use a cut off wheel to remove the old burner, then drill out the mounting screws. While the other two burners were still serviceable, since I had it apart, I replaced all three of them. I also drilled out the tapped (threaded) holes and put in stainless machine screws with lock washers and nuts so if I ever have to do this again (like if the burners don't last), I can just break them off.

The good news is the grill works like new, and the 3 burners are now balanced (they weren't from the factory). The flame is blue with yellow tips, which is how they are supposed to be and the heat distribution seems to be even. It took me less than two hours start to finish, and part of that was figuring things out. I have no idea at this point how durable they are, but if I can get a year or so out of them, they are easy (now) and cheap enough to replace.

I actually bought my grill from a friend who had left his burners on a totally melted his old burners out. I was really excited when I found the replacement burners for so little. They don't quite fit in where the old ones did because the ends on the old one were straight and these new ones have a 90 degree bend in the end that tilts the burners up towards the end and does not have screw holes to screw it to the grill. They still work great and I have been fully enjoying my grill this summer.

The 5 pack is great because I was able to replace all of my old burners plus keep a new one on the side when one wears out. They are stainless steal and I don't plan on them going out for a very long time but just in case they do I'm ready.

The burners and baffles, even those made of "stainless steel", usually fail too quickly on most grills. Using water to quench flare-ups is bad, it turns out. The cost to replace them can be so high that it becomes a viable option to just replace the entire grill instead. What a scandal. This is a similar scenario to your computer printer ink cartridge replacement. This five pack of model MCM 10361 burners was a priced so reasonably that the per-burner price was just 25% of the Local Obvious Whack Every Sucker price of single burners commonly available. They restored the flame pattern and heat evenness to my Charmglow stainless steel grill. I just wish Amazon had a combo deal including the MCM 91241 "stainless steel" baffles (AKA: "heat tents"). too.
