My brother has a Blueray burner at his house. Any reason to worry? Came across a recall notice. He lived in the house for about 20 years now. Its a Blueray Model # BR-60. It has a Beckett burner on it. I think the original burners were the problem but not sure.

    AFAIK that's correct. But I've never worked on one…………

    If it is the original "Blu-ray" from the early 80s that burned with a blue flame blue they originally had Carlin burners with a gizmo on the end to recirculate the combustion gasses so the flame would turn blue.

    They did work but were more trouble than they were worth to keep running. Very touchy.

    They then came out with a yellow flame kit to convert them back into a normal burner.

    I never saw one with a Beckett burner but I suppose there is no reason it couldn't work.

    I would have thought all of those would have been long gone by now.
