Phoenix Grill revived

[Hobo,NC]

I brought this grill around 1996 its served me well I have had to salvage consumable parts out of the dumpster to keep it going. It had a lifetime warranty but that's warranty is history. The drip pan had burnt thru new ones are exspensive.... I built a new drip pan out of 1/4" plate and brought a new burner. All the SS steel bolts had eroded away to the point they were breaking. I replaced all the SS bolts and converted it to natural gas.

It has a standard H burner but even those are getting exspensive.... When I have to replace the burner again I will make one out of pipe. A Refrigerant tank make a good grease drip tank : ) BTW I nailed the lp to NG jet conversion.

Ready to season

Looks good. I do the same with my
20+ year old Char Broil. Best money
I ever spent on a grill. I keep
dumpster diving for parts and
salvage the ones on the side of the
road.

My son brought a house sitting on the deck it came with a expensive Broilmaster grill that needed a burner. His wife deals with gluten issues and would not eat anything that came off of it. It was already set up for NG. The deal was I remove the old grill and hook up his new grill I get the Broilmaster. I robbed the burner from the Phoenix and got it going. I missed cooking with indirect heat shut the lid and forget about it so pulled Phoenix from behind the shop and repaired it.
