Death of a Grill
May 28, 2007It's official.... My Aussie Bushman Elite II grill is dead.
I thought there were some outside chance of repair...replacing the burner head and the propane hose...a task that would have cost me about $40-50.
I came home from work today fully expecting to be able to make that work. I was going to remove the bad parts and just fix it. That was the plan anyhow...
Sadly, that will not be possible.
The burner is held in place by four rusted on screws...two of which striped out the head with a few attempts at a turn. The rusty burner won't budge.
I got the hose off...no problem. But the burner was too much to bear.
That being said...I can just go to Home Depot and get a new grill for about $85 and be cooking on it tonight. Plus...the new one will be clean, and that's always a good thing too.
Here are the long-awaited pictures of my deceased grill, rather appropriate on Memorial Day I guess.
Brace yourself...you might not like what you see.
Here's the grill...outside my apt...I'll miss you little guy.
This is the broken connection on the propane tank...the black plastic ring shouldn't be hanging off like that.
And now the burner....yikes.

A gas grill is like cooking on a gas stove. Go charcoal!
