Mine die from the tin worm, but not as fast as yours. Mostly cheap chinese
garbage does not have enough stainless parts to live long. The iron and sheet
metal have begun rusting away. I will need to source a larger gauge of metal
to replace the junk metal. Probably looking at forged instead
Speaking of Propane grills - we bought one 3 or 4 years ago and it has
suffered from rusting very badly. It has little sheetmetal clips that
hold the heat shields in place - all are basically gone from rust. i do
keep my grill out side but its cover is always closed once the grill has
Same here Larry, I've given up on our propane grill. Food tastes so much
better cooked over charcoal, that's all we use now, and the little Weber
grill fits in the garage quite nicely.
I kept our gas grill operational for years, so we'd have something to cook
over in the event of an extended
I had one I managed to keep going for maybe 12 years, some of it was
even aluminum that corroded. But send it back to China and a new one
will show up soon, incorporating the old one. Or maybe a Toyota or
something else.
I have a SS grill now I got at Lowes maybe 10 years ago, it looks
I have an ancient Arkla (probably made right here in Evansville for
Sears) that my BIL bought right after he and my sister got married in
1980. I'm on the fourth burner i think. Still works OK, but is still
way too hot unless I cover the burner with a ceramic shield, and still
catches
Mine was a bit weak on the heat output so I bored out a coupla the
nozzles and now I can cook a steak in about 3 seconds. Works much
better. The other 2 are stock and better for slow cooking.

I was at Lowes one day 3 or 4 years ago, they were having a parking lot
sale cleaning out a lot of random stuff. They had 2 portable SS grills
new in boxes, were like $100 originally, marked down to $20. I bought
both of them just because, gave one to my son who never

Lol, I'm resisting the temptation of some copper cookware at Tuesday
Morning -- I need more pots and pans like I need to be kicked down the
stairs, but copper is SO nice to cook on and they are fairly reasonable.
I've already replaced the Farberware my sister bought Mom 30 years
ago. It's
don't need it and will never use it...

We too have a Vermont Castings BBQ at home. I think it is 10 or more
years old. Cannot recall exactly how long we have had it.
It is different than the one you describe as it has 3 stainless steel
tube burners that run front to back and W shaped heat shields and no
rock or ceramics.
It was

Buy a new burner, they are about $15 --try one of the Louisiana
places. Or you can just get a new orifice, make sure it's one of the
0.040 ones. You have too much gas and not enough air, partially
because the casing of the burner is rough, but mostly because the
orifice is too large and

A coleman stove is way too small for canning, you likely need to boil
a big vat of water (or cook down 15 quarts of tomatoes at once) and
you need a BIG burner.
The burners that come with turkey friers are often crap. I think I
got my from some place with the word Cajun it the name, but

Turkey friers usually run 70,000 to 95,000 btu. Lotta heat. I don't
use anywhere near that much for canning.
Not to knock coleman stoves, but a propane burner is much more
convenient if you also have a propane grill.

We have the flat smooth glass top stove so my wife does not want to use it.
We have our previous stove in the basement but too much stuff around it
to use it right now.
Plus, all that steam etc inside is a bit much.
Doing it outdoors seems the way to do it.
I wish I had a bigger yard. I would
how big does the yard need to be? My cousin has a great little kitchen built
with a smoker, mini fridge, large gas grill, sink, and scads of counter space.
Maybe all of 8x8, stone walls and fiberglass roof. The flat part of the yard
is 15x25, and surrounded by hilly garden.
