Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I changed out the burner tubes in the propane grill. The first set of burners I got did not have adjustable air inlets. Ordered some different ones and the difference is surprising.

You want some more cool shit, get a manual regulator. You can get a lot more out of your typical gas grill. It will likely come at the expense of longevity due to shitty materials.

The choices they made in material for my grill are weird. All the big parts and supports are rust resistant. Every single screw is the cheapest, shittiest one they could find and immediately started rusting. Hope the dollar they saved is worth me never buying grills from them again.

One of the many odd choices they made.

Any recommendations on a decent company? My last grill is begging to be thrown away.

I had a Kenmore (I think the mfg was Char Broil) for 29 years and only had to change out the burners and the like once. The bottom tray finally rusted and it needed some other t.l.c. but no parts could be found. I got a Pit Boss pellet/gas combo at the end of last season. Smoke side is awesome, Gas side is good with some unevenness (hot & cold spots). The whole thing seems to be well built with heavy gage powder coated or anodized aluminum parts. Will see how it holds up.
