Grill upgrade

News, outside, , ,

The old Huntington grill that Mart gave me when he visited back in 2017 has finally given up. After replacing the burner, ignition and hose in March, it just wouldn’t burn anymore now. So it was time for an upgrade.

Kept it very modest, but this one does have three burners instead of two. And a temperature gauge and a tray to keep things warm.

But it’s stainless steel only for the front plates and the tray, so we will see if this one holds up 7 years too. First test will be tonight, Christmas Eve with a nice big steak. 🥩

Update: it’s officially approved. 🤠

BBQ upgrade

Uncategorized

On April 1st 2017, I first used the Huntington BBQ. Two years ago I replaced the burner cover with Aluminum, as the original one had rusted away. A few weeks ago I was informed that the BBQ had stopped working, as the electrical ignition was broken. As it turned out, it was a little more work that needed to be done; the picture below explains why.

It shows what was left of the burner, ignition , and on the right the aluminum cover. So I ordered a new ignition, a new burner and a new stainless steel flame cover.

The burner is of a better quality than the original with thicker metal and partly stainless steel. The ignition is at the bottom and will ignite both left and right burners.

The flame cover is nice and thick stainless steel, which should last a lot longer. The vent holes will help better heat distribution.

Fully assembled it looks like this. I can’t wait to initiate it with a nice big steak. 🥩
