I have an ancient Arkla (probably made right here in Evansville for
Sears) that my BIL bought right after he and my sister got married in
1980. I'm on the fourth burner i think. Still works OK, but is still
way too hot unless I cover the burner with a ceramic shield, and still
catches fire all the time.
Cast iron burners are the way to go, maybe tubular steel as I've seen
in a couple places. Those crimped "stainless" burners corrode through
and split in a few years without fail, and the grids fall apart quickly.
I use it less and less -- must be age (or having too many other things
to do!), and my brother has switched back to charcoal. Much nicer,
not much slower to get started, and cooks much better.
