I purchased 2 of these burners for my brew stand. I just got to mounting them and found that the casting is to large for the orifice. What can I do?

if it's the office that came with the burner it's not too large they should run quiet they run loud when you need your readjust for more air and less gas

I had the same problem on one of the three I bought. I just put some thick gas rated Teflon tape. Mine was just slightly to big. If it's just way to off send it back

I have the same problem on one I received a week ago. The tap is over sized a bit. I corected the problem with a wrap of heavy aluminum foil and then several wraps w/ teflon tape. It holds pretty well for now, when I have a chance I will add a nut to the inside to make sure it won't slip out. I want to make beer, not deal with the hassle of return...

If the orifice won't screw in I would return them as flawed. One of the first one's I received had holes in the sides of the casting. When you get a good one these work great, but they are definitely not a high quality burner.

I really do not know mine is a three burner with a side burner and it fits fine

I tried it out and a magnet stuck to the bottom section that sits directly on the burner and holds the water in. Hope this helps.

I actually have an industrial Bunn Coffee maker in my kitchen. lol. This will be too large. I don't think it will fit under, to place on the burner. You should Contact GE for a replacement. I think a Mr. Coffee replacement decanter you can get at walmart should also fit.

I'm guessing that these are the wrong style of canisters for your stove. I use these with a Gasone stove that is a square shape, approx. 12 x 12 x 3. These canisters do not have a screw top. You remove the top red cover, place them in a cartridge holder, then use a lever to insert the top tube on the cartridge. I think you need one of the butane canisters that is squat and almost round shape. The picture looks as though they have a screw top. You might check with a local camping store. Here's the Amazon URL:

These burners aren't designed to be super adjustable, they work best at a high output. You should be using a low pressure regulator also.

The new 2-burner Spirit Es flip down, the new 3-burner do not. Weber will not sell the owner of a 3-burner model the mods necessary for flip-down side tables. If space is an issue, you'll want the 2-burner model....which is what I should have done. I only discovered this AFTER assembly (over 2 hours). Called Weber and while they were nice, there is no way they are going to help. I even offered to pay for new tables, flip-down hardware, etc.

Mine get got. But the burner I use is about as wide as the cup so the flames are closer to the handles than some smaller ones so that might be why.

I have found if the pot isn't sitting properly on the burner it will leak while brewing. Like if it is off center and one side of the pot is higher then the other.

My advice is to go with an evernew crosstand, with trangia burner. Works like a champ

I do not know what it will fit. I returned mine. I do know one end has a special type of thread that will only screw into a burner manifold.

This unit has the burners too close together. You have to use small pans. It does boil water and the secondary burner runs a little hot. I have used this for 4 months and would not purchase it again. I would look for burners that were a little further apart.

Since it's solid cast iron, the griddle should work well over two gas range burners. I'd keep the flame down a bit and give it some time to heat up well, just to avoid hot spots.

Not with out a conversion kit. Don't know if Char-Broil has one for this unit. You need different (larger) orifices for the burners.

The bar is really narrow, barely covering the burners. Not sure which model I have but the bar is NOT a universal fit as it advertises.

Might look a little lop-sided but as far as I can tell it should function just fine. I'd plug the holes with bolts, either living with the excess length or cutting off the excess. If yo buy short replacements be sure to get the same heads and high quality bolts to prevent corrosion. Obviously the right side shelf is needed for the side burner. If you don't want either side shelf get the model (310?) without it and save a few dollars.

For what it's worth, I homebrew with a bayou classic 1046 142 quart pot as a brew kettle (it's significantly heavy when empty). Although I had bricks in place, apparently much of my weight was on the burner. It flexed on me after running high heat for quite some time and roughly 25 gallons of wort in it. The bricks picked up and supported the weight. I now use cinder blocks positioned around it to support the pot and make sure it is up off the burner. Just be careful. If you're worried, get some extra support and set your mind at ease.
