Direct StoreParts Kit DG208 Replacement for Vermont Grill VM450,VM450SSP Gas Barbecue Grill Burners,Heat Plates,Cooking Grid

The cooking grids and heat plates seem like good quality and fit the VM450SSP. It only needs three grids but there are four in the kit so it comes with a spare. The problem is that the burners are too long for the unit and will not fit in the space available. The picture shows how much longer the shiny new burner is compared to the old dark one.While the size is given as 17" long, it is actually 17.25” vs. the old tube being only 16.75"" The problem is compounded by the fact that the distance from the welded on mounting flange to the end on the new tube is 12.25" but on the old tubes it is only 11.375" and the extra .875" prevents it from being seated since the extended flat end of the tube hits the back of the grill.I transported these to a Caribbean island to refurbish my vacation home grill so return was not an option. I was able to grind off most of the extra flattened end and make these work. You need to decide whether you have the ability and want to go through the extra effort to use the new burners in a VM450SSP.

Seems to be a solid replacement. Only installed last week, so not a lot of cook time yet. Only complaint is that box was heavily damaged, retaped, and reboxed. 3 of 4 burners had mounting plate damage. Took a little cautious rebending to get good fit. Broke spot welds on one, still seems to work ok. I had to order based on dimensions as we have an older grill and no idea what model number it is.

I wish it came with five grills, because our barbecue has five grills. So we are having to keep one of the better old ones to fill that fifth spot. The burners for this one or a little bit longer than ours. I had to bend the tip of these new ones in order to fit them in. Again I would’ve needed a fifth one. Otherwise it’s good to have new product all the barbecue so we can start barbecuing.

Product was damaged in shipping due to poor packaging control. The burner tubes all had their angular shields damaged in some way by the heavy grates. One burner tube has had the crappy spot welds break off. The burner tubes, despite listing my grill, are too long and I had to cut off the angled tail to get them to correctly fit. The rest of the kit is fine.

The pieces didn’t fit exactly right. And the burners were a little bit to long to change without bending the ends of the burners. I thought with using the model # and part of the serial # I would be able to order the correct parts. I was able to make them work. But wasn’t a direct replacement.

Neighbors were moving and gave my dad their grill which wasn't in to bad of shape but needed a few parts. Was able to look up parts by model number and found this bundle that had everything we need to make it look like new. All parts are excellent quality and were easy to swap out with old parts. We're about 7-10 cookouts in and have had no issues with anything.

Good, just not the correct size for my grill. Would have rated higher if they were.

Good fit. I was able to get the repair plates in by going under the burner base instead of removing the front panel (VCS5007BI) after removing the catch tray. All other parts were plug and play…er grill.
