Burners: Up Close and Personal
Overview
The debate around grill burners and their materials can be confusing. One manufacturer claims a particular material is best, while another disagrees. Some sales reps say burners make little difference, yet others insist they are the core of your grill. So, what's the truth?
Understanding Burn-Through
It's crucial to understand how burn-through happens and which materials resist it better. In another article, we illustrated how sheet metal burners degrade over time. To avoid burn-through, you can regularly clean your burner, though this can be tedious and dirty work. Some manufacturers even require this maintenance to keep your warranty valid.
Choosing the Right Grill
The easier solution is to be informed before purchasing. It’s impossible to assess a burner’s quality by just looking at it?"unless you cut a few in half! We took the plunge and examined several high-end grills: Alfresco, DCS, Fire Magic, and Lynx. We analyzed the construction, material thickness, and nickel content, as well as whether the orifices were drilled, molded, or punched.
We also reviewed Star grills, a newcomer to the consumer market, which shares similar burners with DCS. Both use a 14-gauge stainless steel sheet metal burner, with a slight difference in the feeder tube design.
