Claims
- 1. A gas grill burner apparatus, comprising:a center manifold configured to form two hollow gas tubes, said gas tubes being substantially parallel; first and second C-shaped hollow gas tube end portions slideably engaged within opposing ends of said parallel hollow gas tubes; a center grease tent mounted atop said center manifold; and first and second telescoping grease tent members mated with said center grease tent, said telescoping grease tent members being configured to move laterally with said first and second gas tube end portions.
- 2. The gas grill burner apparatus of claim 1, wherein said center manifold comprises:a lower manifold; and an upper manifold hemmed to said lower manifold.
- 3. The gas grill burner apparatus of claim 2, further comprising:at least a first gas feed line coupled with said lower manifold and configured to provide gas to said hollow gas tubes.
- 4. The gas grill burner apparatus of claim 1, wherein said hollow gas tubes comprise a plurality of orifices for emitting gas around the burner.
- 5. A gas grill comprising:an adjustable gas grill burner apparatus, comprising: a center manifold configured to form two hollow gas tubes, said gas tubes being substantially parallel; first and second C-shaped hollow gas tube end portions slideably engaged within opposing ends of said parallel hollow gas tubes; a center grease tent mounted atop said center manifold; and first and second telescoping grease tent members mated with said center grease tent, said telescoping grease tent members being configured to move laterally with said first and second gas tube end portions; and at least a first gas feed line for providing gas to said hollow gas tubes.
- 6. The gas grill burner of claim 5, wherein said center manifold comprises:a lower manifold; and an upper manifold hemmed to said lower manifold.
- 7. The gas grill burner of claim 5, wherein said hollow gas tubes comprise a plurality of orifices for emitting gas around the burner.
- 8. An adjustable gas grill burner apparatus, comprising:a continuous hollow gas tube burner formed in an elongated ovular shape, said burner comprising: a center manifold; and first and second C-shaped telescoping end portions; a grease tent comprising: a center tent member mounted above said center manifold; and first and second end members mated with said center tent member and mounted to said first and second C-shaped telescoping end portions, such that said first and second end members extend with said first and second C-shaped telescoping end portions.
- 9. The burner apparatus of claim 8, wherein said center manifold comprises:an upper manifold; and a lower manifold mounted to said upper manifold.
- 10. The burner apparatus of claim 9, further comprising:at least a first gas feed line for providing gas to said burner.
- 11. The burner apparatus of claim 10, wherein said lower manifold further comprises:at least a first port hole for providing fluid communication from said at least first gas feed line to said burner.
- 12. The burner apparatus of claim 10, wherein said lower manifold further comprises:baffles mounted in said continuous hollow gas tube burner and configured to divide said burner.
