You did a good job. This brought back memories from before I had a garage to cobble stuff together. I dont miss it, but I can appreciate when someone can keep motivation while working on the ground in a driveway
Thank you, I appreciate the kind words :) I need a garage something bad, hoping to build one soon but a couple projects need to be finished up before it gets started.
Early on in the video you said that the burner that I assumed came with the grill lasted only 2 years. I am very interested in knowing how long your home made burner has lasted. It says that your video to date was 4 years ago. My guess is that the 1/8" thick mild steel burner you hand crafted lasted much longer than the thin flimsy stainless steel burner. Please let us know how long yours lasted. Greetings from North Michigan USA. BTW, Great Video and thanks for the valuable information.
Thank you. Well the video is about a year older than when I uploaded it. The BBQ ended up in the scrap about last year as the grill finally gave up and it's far more expensive for a new grill than a new cheap bbq. The burner was still solid and had plenty of life left.
Super Narration! It's a joy to hear, learn from you. Wishing others will learn from your production quality, after video recording, narration makes everything better. Thanks.
Thank you so much for the kind words and feedback :) Hopefully I'll have more stuff to upload over the winter. Slowly gathering some footage, this is actually my secondary channel. I have a main channel which is much larger for automotive repairs and that has new videos every week.
Thank you! I have no idea what I'd do without my welder, it's so nice to have around. Hoping to eventually buy a tig welder once I have a proper spot to work. About to release another welding project video tomorrow ;)
Great Job! You stated that you had to light each of the 4 burner surfaces. I suggest trying one more hole near where the divider is (angled toward the other side), and a single row of holes on each end with one through the corner (Drilling through weld? UGH - TOUGH!). Just a thought...
What kinds of BBQs or burners have you bought in the past? I've been BBQing and grilling and smoking, etc etc etc, for 50+ years and never had a burner give out after a couple of years. I've never known of this happening to anyone I know, either. I am very curious what equipment you have used in the past where this kind of breakdown is normal.
I’ve learned to use 2.- 22.5 corners on each end so the flame can wrap around with just one igniter it’s not round but the flame can jump that short distance
I liked the orange shoes; figured you did that on purpose! To ID them as your shop shoes. You wear them to the parts store? How come you don't drill a few holes on one edge so the flame front will travel to both sides?
Already has one, can be seen at the end of the video. Also it's needing a replacement now along with the grate. I need to find some stainless steel replacements.
Suggestion When welding with flux cored wire Use the push technique Not pull as it gives a better quality weld David in UK TWI Professional member Good Job
