Abstract
A burner element for gas fired barbecue grills of varying designs and styles is rendered universal in its applicability to such grills by the provision therein of gas/air inlet openings in varied arrangements to enable connection of the burner element to flexible length adjustable venturi tubes in different modes of use, such as in a bent extended mode or a straight foreshortened mode. Inactive gas/air inlet openings of the burner element are covered during non-use. A burner system is provided which is compatible with grills having either post mounted or panel mounted burner controls.
