their product doesn't hold up. all my flame retarders fell into the grill. the tabs holding them broke off. they were tac welded poorly. there answer was for me to drill out the tac weld slag and screw new tabs in. support was terrible. no follow up. no help. you pay 3 grand for a grill and you get no decent help

Terrible experience with them no return except for defective items if they was assembled!

I constructed an outdoor kitchen and paid BBQ Guys almost $7,000 for various pieces of equipment This included an outdoor refrigerator that cost $971.99. The equipment arrived well before the project was ready for it to be installed, so I left the equipment in its original boxes for several weeks. When I opened the refrigerator box, the door fell off onto the floor. The unit was dented in many places. The bottom door hinge was bent downward. I contact BBQ Guys and sent them pictures of the fridge and its broken elements with the box and packaging materials to show that I had just opened it. Their response was: sorry, you have to point out all damage within five days of delivery. They offered to send me replacement parts so I can have someone else at my expense repair the garbage they sent me. I hae a good mind to sue them for fraud. Beware doing business with this company.

I bought two high-end rosewood handled BBQ tools. When they same neither tool had rivets that were working properly to hold the handles steady on the steel tools. So far I've "applied" online to return them for a refund (Customer Service was closed at 4 pm PDT on a Friday afternoon). Oh, by the way - their policy is to charge the customer for shipping in BOTH directions, even though the problem is because of them not me and even though I got "Free Shipping" to me (because of the size of my order). This is a very "last century" company (not in a good way) and I emphatically exhort you not to buy their products nor deal with them. Their policies are "heads I win, tails you lose" - (not) sorry customer. No way to run a business. Stay away from them!!! UPDATE: They refunded my purchase price and did not require me to return the defective tools - so no shipping cost after all. GOOD SOLUTION!

I recently purchased an "Americana by Meco 2 in 1 Water Smoker" from BBQ Guys. I used it a total of three times and experienced a recurring issue with the electrical connection on the heating element cutting in and out. The only remedy for this was for someone to stand over the smoker and manually hold the connection in place which doesn't make for a very pleasant cooking experience on a hot summer evening. I contacted their customer service department in the hope that they would offer some solution, perhaps a replacement part, that would solve the problem and make the smoker usable. Unfortunately they replied with a form e-mail informing me that I was past the thirty day return window, basically telling me "sorry your smoker doesn't work, but hey, better luck next time." Needless to say I won'd be doing business with them again. I'm not shocked by poor, inattentive customer service these days, but I do feel it's appropriate and helpful to warn others about it.

I received the Victory 3-Burner Propane Gas Grill With Infrared Side Burner as a gift and could not exchange it for a different grill. All exchanges must be made on unassembled, unused products. After spending 3+ hours to assemble this gift, this was not a happy thing to receive. I do not recommend the experience that BBQGuys offers.

Bought 2 Blaze 21 electric grills with 5 year extended warranty. Come to find out, warranty is no good on discontinued products. They give you the warranty, keep the money and hope you don't have a problem. When you do have a problem and they know it can't be fixed, they say you get a refund. This works out to be over $100 they pocket and hope you forget it. Before I purchased warranty, they said they would come to my house and fix all problems. Never said manufacturer 10 year warranty is no good on discontinued products. Buy from local dealers near you.

Purchased a Blackstone Gazebo 10' x 10'. Worst experience ever!! They took the order right away. When the gazebo still didn't show shipped a week later, cancelled order online. The next day we get an email showing it was shipped. Called,,, 1 hour and 20 minutes later someone finally answered the phone!! They said it has shipped and we would have to pay the delivery fee if we go ahead with the cancel. Told them that the shipping company, R&L carriers, shows that they have not picked up the package, BBQ guys said in that case they would try to stop the shipment. Next day we get an email saying it has shipped, and when it returns back to them they could process the refund!!! 2 weeks later still waiting for the refund even though the tracking shows it was delivered 5 days ago!! Back on the phone again for an hour and a half!!! Ridiculous service, don't do it!! Stay off their website.
