Adjustable gas grill burner and method of making and using the same

An adjustable gas grill burner comprising:

• (I) a first tubular member having a first tubular wall, a first tubular wall inner surface, a first tubular wall outer surface, a first tubular wall thickness extending from the first tubular wall inner surface to the first tubular wall outer surface, a first tubular member first end (i) having a first tubular member first end opening therein and (ii) being engagable with a gas grill burner fuel source, and a first tubular member second end opposite the first tubular member first end, the first tubular member second end having a first tubular member second end opening therein, the first tubular member first end opening and the first tubular member second end opening being positioned along a first tubular member dissecting line extending through the first tubular member;
• and
• (II) a second tubular member having a second tubular wall, a second tubular wall inner surface, a second tubular wall outer surface, a second tubular wall thickness extending from the second tubular wall inner surface to the second tubular wall outer surface, a second tubular member first end, the second tubular member first end being open, and a second tubular member second end opposite the second tubular member first end, the second tubular member second end being closed, the second tubular member first end being sized so as to be movably engagable with the first tubular member second end;
• wherein (1) each of the first tubular member and the second tubular member comprises aligned gas outlet holes extending through the first and second tubular wall thicknesses, each of the aligned gas outlet holes being positioned along a length of the first and second tubular members, (2) the first tubular member and the second tubular member are movably engagable with one another so as to form an adjustable gas grill burner having an overall linear configuration extending from the first tubular member first end to the second tubular member second end, and (3) the first tubular member and the second tubular member are movably engagable with one another so as to adjust (i) an overall length of the adjustable gas grill burner, and (ii) an overall number of gas outlets within said aligned gas outlet holes.
