I changed out the burner tubes in the propane grill. The first set of burners I got did not have adjustable air inlets. Ordered some different ones and the difference is surprising.

    Could be worse; at least fasteners are relatively easy to source upgraded corrosion-resistant replacements for.

    It reminds me of my old Samsung front-load washing machine: when that failed, I took it apart. Every single metal internal part was pristine stainless steel, except for one: the “spider arm,” which attaches the drum to the drive shaft. It was made out of some kind of ridiculous reactive pot metal that had corroded completely through and broke apart just after the warranty ended. It was the most shameless example of blatant planned obsolescence I’ve ever heard of, let alone experienced firsthand.

    Failed Samsung spider arm (not my pic, but mine was just as bad)
