Is the burner supposed to freely move left and right an inch or so? I received mine today and the burner was attached securely but moves slightly.

I don't recall it moving at all on mine. But I wasn't looking ether. A little movement should be ok...as long as its not leaking gas I wouldn't worry too much.

Well it pivots a bit on that center screw, if that's what you mean. Don't know if it's actually supposed to do that, but I've been using it regularly for over a year with great success, and that doesn't impact function at all.

If I remember correctly you can tighten a bolt located under the burner where it attaches to the base.

Mine pivots slightly on the center bolt, but otherwise it does not move very much.

I had to remove the four flash guards and then the bar that runs the entire length of the back. Don't remember using any tools, but it was a tight fit. Once everything is removed from the inside maybe see if you can get a tad more room by maneuvering where the burner attaches to the control knobs. If you could pull those forward then push them back into the new burner would that give you enough room?

There should be everything you see in the picture. What you can't see is a copper rod used to help hold up the burner. The rod slides through holes on either side of the metal part that holds the burner. You also can't see the burner or the grill grate. Anything else?

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.

Mine would let off a quick spray before I tightened it all the way. I would make sure it's fully connected, and if you're still getting a spray of fuel, try another canister. If it happens then too you might have a bad connection, maybe try to return the stove for a replacement?

The lid doesn't feel as if it is tight, but it is as it cooks really good. My insert doesn't move around a lot, si m not sure what is going on with yours. Hopefully someone else can answer this. I am sorry I can not be any more helpful. I am happy with mine and I would recommend it.

You probably got a bent lid base if it seems like an issue. Mine is great! It fits pretty nicely. The only open spots are the vents. But to be honest when i use the grill, i put it on diagonally so that air can get to the fuel. In all of my cases, the flame went out every time when the grill was fully covered. So even if it is a little bent, you should be ok. But by all means return it and get a perfect one!

Hold the knob in until burner lights all the way across, still holding it in turn up flame slightly and release should stay light

I did. I was just not as "forceful" with it. I just went over the burner lightly, removing as much of the gunk as I could. It didn't seem to affect it at all. Of course, I did end up getting the "sparker" wet, but once it dried (I just sparked it a few times) it lit right up. Haven't had any issues with any of it at all.

My grates also move when I clean them. Any BBQ grill usually has a small space for movement, otherwise you wouldn't be able to take them out to clean, etc because they would be too snug.

Hi. I'm not sure if it should move on you??? I have to manually spin mine. It doesn't just spin easily. My guess is something is loose or there is a defect. I hope this helps.

Mine was the same way but it was not the fluid joint. There's a screw (the included tool fit) that adjusts the entire units attacment. It might be loose.

Hi Mona, Make sure that the main unit or the charcoal filter inside is not in backwards I did this once and it drove me nuts late at night. I came back in the morning and found my problem. ALso the cover should slide without any resistance.

Mine is loose but not very loose. I know it kind of adjusts to the size of what is being grilled. I hope that helps answer your question somewhat.

It does slide left to right but not loosely, stays fairly stable in the position you place it in. Still using mine and it's held up well.

No it isn't normal to move. I took mine back because it kept shutting off and I thought it had a safety feature for overheating when actually it was faulty and going out even when it was brand new.

Mine is sitting on a quartz countertop and it moves slightly if you nudge it with purpose. It does not leak, so it does not bother me.
