- 40ft Container For Sale
By Jason Broderick
When we think of the Thermos brand, we tend to think of those insulated containers used to keep our drinks hot or cold. But there’s more to Thermos than that! Thermos has been producing quality products for over a century. In 1904, two Germans created the Thermos GmbH company and began commercially producing their “vacuum flask”. About half a century later, in 1955, Thermos took over Duncan Hines outdoor rills. A decade later, they bought Structo Manufacturing, an outdoor cooking grill manufacturer.
Today, Thermos continues to produce a cornucopia of products, including standard and portable cooking grills. When you need replacement parts for your Thermos grill, here are some considerations to make.
1. Recent or earlier models.
When ordering parts for Thermos grills, you’ll want to find out if it was produced before or after Charbroil purchased Thermos’ barbecue grill division. That’s because the model number of the two eras of Thermos grills differ. Before Charbroil purchased Thermos, the products’ model numbers contained five digits. Meanwhile, after the purchase of Thermos grills, the company’s products contained seven digits. This information is crucial when purchasing replacement parts for your Thermos grill, to ensure that you’re getting the right parts for the right grill.
2. Standard or portable grills.
Thermos’ Grill 2 Go is a portable version of its standard grills. The grill has all the features of a traditional grill, including side tables, storage notches, and a grease receptacle. The difference is in the portability of the grill. You can break it down into multiple pieces, which makes storing and transporting the grill more convenient. Lightweight yet durable, the Grill 2 Go grill is perfect when you want to enjoy grilled foods away from home.
3. With or without backburner.
Whether you have a ton of meat and veggies to cook, or need to keep the food warm before serving it later-a backburner is a handy feature for your Thermos grill. Keeping the food warm ensures that you won’t need to re-grill it later, and potentially overcook the meat or veggies. Securing the right backburner parts will help to ensure that your barbecue grill functions well, and your food’s quality isn’t compromised.
4. With or without rotisserie kit.
When preparing meats, roasting is one of the top options that you have. Barbecue grills with rotisserie kits allow you to enjoy such foods, without needing to buy an entire contraption for roasting foods. The rotisserie kit allows you to use your grill for cooking chicken and other small game birds. Do you enjoy grilled veggies as well? If so, then you can make a tasty kebab, bursting with color and flavor.
5. With or without stainless steel burner.
Stainless steel burners are fantastic for resisting rust, corrosion, and stains. This feature can significantly improve the convenience of your grilling. After preparing a tasty meal, you probably don’t want to spend the whole afternoon cleaning the grill, right?
6. BTUs
BTU stands for “British Thermal Unit”, and measures the amount of thermal heat energy that the burners produce. One BTU represents how much energy is required to heat a pound of water one degree Fahrenheit. Does the rule “more is better” apply, in terms of BTUs? It basically depends on how fast you want the burners to cook. A grill that produces a higher maximum BTU will cook your foods at lighting speed. But keep in mind that the more BTUs a barbecue grill’s burners produce, the more intricate its replacement parts will be. It will also impact the cost of those parts.
7. Amount of stainless steel.
Some Thermos grills only contain stainless steel burners. Other models are entirely encased in stainless steel. Stainless steel parts such as doors will be pricier than parts made of flimsier materials. That’s due to the cost of the parts themselves, as well as the higher shipping costs. But in terms of boosting the life of your Thermos grill, a stainless steel exterior is definitely a worthwhile investment if you’re willing to pay the added cost.
For over half a century, Thermos has offered several quality barbecue grills. To keep your Thermos grill working at an optimum level, always make sure to buy the right parts for the right grill.
