An uneven flame can be a result of buildup. All burners have a bunch of tiny holes. Gas flows more quickly through clear holes than clogged ones. A new burner should not help for just a short time. If you take your grates off and have a look, you can see where you need to clean. Grates, flavorizer bars, and burners can be cleared of debris. If there are briquettes, look at the spacing. Cleaning and giving the BBQ a chance to give even heat is important.
