Sahara BBQ replacement burners

cfeeneyinterior

Hi folks,
I hope this is the right forum, if not mods please move. I have one of the Woodies green Dahara bbq's and the burners are wrecked. My own fault for not cleaning and looking after them but the actual body of the unit is rock solid.
Anyways, I was on to a company uig.biz who import the bbq here and they can get me the three burners for €87.80. Seems a bit steep to me? Does anyone know of a cheaper alternative or is that price fair for 3 stainless steel burners?
Mine is the three burner roaster on the image attached..... hopefully

Well, I'm looking for a new burner for a 2 Burner Roaster. As the BBQ is €299 new for a 2 burner I hope the parts can be got reasonably

Hey Batman,
I bit the bullet today and ordered three new ones from these guys I was saying above, uig.biz . Will have them out to me by Friday but I thought really expensive for what they are. But I suppose its just a big box without the burners!
I'lll be bloody well looking after these ones. Lidl have a three burner tomorrow but my Sahara was good when I got it. Hopefully the sun sticks around for a while.

Just called them myself and ordered one burner €46 all in. Not bad I guess

I ordered previously a couple of years ago and the burner was delivered to me no problem. Glad I found this post, as it was difficult to find the UIG people via Google. FYI they are at:- http://www.uig.biz/images/contact/contact.html

In this Irish climate I suppose no surprise that now I need to replace my other original burner. Ordered today on their phone line and they tell me to expect delivery this week. All we need now is a bit more of that weather we had in March

Really old thread, but I found it so I prosumer other people will.
I just called universal innovations. They priced a gass burner at 30e with 7e delivery. 90e for the 3. Seems quite reasonable.
You can also collect to avoid delivery charge if you are in the Dublin/Wicklow area.

Reasonable.... Are you mad. It was extortionate if you ask me. But cheaper than a new BBQ.

This is an old post but thought I would update it - I think the burners are very expensive so have decided to convert it to a charcoal BBQ (which I think is still better tasting). I got a grid with the same dimensions as the inside of the BBQ; removed the burners + any hoses etc.; removed the last screw of each of the hinges holding the side table yokes and replaced with 4 extra long screws which will hold the new grid in place on which the charcoal now sit. The bottom steal drawer is kept in place to catch the ash and make cleaning a breaze. Going to try it for the first time today so will let you all know how it goes.

Of you who have the Sahara BBQ's, how would you rate rate them overall? how long have you had them?
