If I have the option to return I will always choose return over manufacturer service call. The latter has the potential to turn into an extended fiasco with you ultimately holding the short straw. What if the service tech says it's a part that was damaged by the installer therefore it's not covered under warranty? What if the part is on "back order" indefinitely?
Seriously!!!?
We’re talking about a side burner on a gas grill! Do have any idea how many parts constitute a “working” side burner? No, you clearly don’t!
You don't need a Weber to make good BBQ, you just need a good cast iron grill and a thermometer to watch the temps. Surprise you do briskets with the gas as the charcoal makes the best brisket. As long as you can control the temps and time it you can do charcoal and no need to watch it as much if you know your temps and check on the fire. Good brisket done in 4-6 hrs if you can keep it properly placed on the grill.
The gas grill is mainly for steaks, burgers, and seafood.
I generally cook a brisket for 8 hours on the gas grill, with the temperature staying between 275 and 300 degrees, depending on the weather. I have a tube that I fill with wood pellets and lite with a torch to provide smoke, since the grill temperature isn't high enough to reliably make damp wood chips smoke. I did a couple of briskets on my Weber charcoal grill, and it was more effort for a result that wasn't any better. On the gas grill I go out every hour or so and look at the temperature gauge for the grill, and check the internal temperature of the meat after 5 or so hours, when I wrap it in foil.
A Honda mower is the same no matter who you buy it from.
In that it comes from the same truck that unloads them before moving down to the small engine dealership, yes it is.
But the guy that assembles it isn't.
My John Deere mower is the same as the one that I can get at Lowes/HD. I don't want to get it there because I don't want them assembling it.
It isn't rocket science, but I'd rather have an outfit that depends on mower sales and service put it together. HD/Lowes will only ever sell to end-user consumers, one mower at a time. The guy that has a dealership might sell $50K worth of mowers to a client and have a dozen honda push mowers in that with several Scags or ExMarks, and he has a reputation and level of professionalism required to stay in business that HD doesn't.
Partner seems high maintenance. The grill isn’t very complicated to begin with and should be fix-able under warranty, even though it’s a little bit of a hassle and disappointment that it’s not working properly now.
Bought a Weber grill from Lowes. Side burner doesn't work. Weber says they will fix. I'm willing but partner feels like we're getting defective merchandise and wants to get rid of it. Not sure what we'll buy instead. Yes I know this sounds kind of silly.
Has anyone had this experience of either bad assembly or defect from Lowes with a propane grill? We have checked the wires they look good.
Our 30 days is almost up and I want to return it while/if I can.
Is Home Depot any better at this, delivering with no defects?
I let Lowes put together because I didn't want to. I still don't want to do it myself.
I’ve had my Weber for over ten years and they have been responsive to any issues I’ve had, including replacement parts
There oughta be a law against using propane for cookin’
So natural gas? Electric? There is a law against using wood or charcoal grills in some places, including places in CA, due to fire risk or smoke.
