Magic Chef Stove Burner repair or replace?
Have an older ('98) Magic Chef Stove and the front "high speed" burner just started creating a flame from the bottom up where it shouldn't be (where red arrows point in picture). I removed the burn...

Try contacting Colaw for either new or good used replacement. Sounds and looks like it is rusting through.
I'm wondering exactly how and where it is rusting, if the propane is escaping out the bottom and igniting is there some way to seal it?
I wouldn't trust anything less that welding or brazing.. Glues, epoxy (JB Weld) or soldering will melt..
But, there may be another issue, the tops of the burner just might be aluminum or stainless steel and that is crimped together with the bottom.. Welding dissimilar metals can be tricky. The bottom part due to rust may be extremely thin and welding thin rusty metal is a challenge.
With the amount of rust shown in your pix call it done with that part, for your safety it needs to be replaced.
If no replacement can be sourced, then you may need to consider replacing the entire stove.. Yes, it will be expensive, but how much money is your and your families lives worth to you?
