2 years ago I bought from Wal-mart  a Great Outdoors Grill Company  outdoor grill. Model 6000W Serial  64370600023.
 
Search the at that time the product had the highest warranties in the industry.  75 years on the housing, 10 or 15 years on the burners and then I recall that there was even a 5 year warranty on the igniter. I was impressed. I told everyone about it. 
 
1 year after we had it it started falling apart. Of course the igniter is the first thing to go. They the grill shut down on one side.  Then the connection with the gas line started rusting.
 
The black paint on the aluminum housing started peeling off.  This thing is a mess. I can send you pictures. as many as you want by email. What do I do? My wife is about to hang me because I was the one who picked it out and surprised her with a new grill. I can't locate my entire notebook where I had all my records just for this grill.   I have been treating cancer in my jaw since April.  www.IamFightingCancer.coml at MdAnderson Cancer Center
 
. I am a real Wal-mart fan. 5 years ago I read Sam Waltons book on his business starting out. Any help would be appreciated. I purchased it at Wal-mart on Beltway 8 near I-10.  Brian Nelson  31 Gessner Rd.  Houston, TX  77024   713-467-3025  Brian@NelsonIdeas.com

Hi Ali,

Thanks for your response. Immediately after my purchase  at WalmartI wrote you that I did not get a manual with it. I think it was an already set up model.  L Rowe CSM  responded  12-5-02 by email  that he would  send a manual. I did receive and now have the manual. Packing list no. is  36202. I can send you a copy of the packing list and the letter from Row    Manual no. is 10001120402.  I am unable to locate the receipt after 3 years. I should have kept it with the manual. I could have paid cash or discover.

I request that you honor the extended warranty above based on the information provided  above. Sometimes you have to trust. Especially with a 25 year warranty on the burner and it fails within 24 months.  Something is wrong.  I look forward  to your immediate response. I have previously sent you the serial no. I can photograph the unit in many ways and email that to you.  Advise. Brian Nelson

12-28-05  Dear Journal,

Notes. I located a Discover payment Nov. 30, 2002 for  the Wal-Mart purchase. I faxed it  to Ali. They may have looked at these photos because they are sending me a complete new Grill.  I will let you know if I ever receive it.  Brian

I did receive a model 8000 Series  Grill via Roadway Express on 1-21-06. It is bigger than the original one. The well done  owners manual had many photos on how to put it together. I had to retrofit two pieces by unscrewing  some bolts they had installed so that  2 rigid non flexible  parts would  would fit. That was very tricky but it works fine and I appreciate the effort the company  made to rectify a defective product. The manufactures Limited Warranty guarantees  the cast-Aluminum parts for 75 years, the Cast-Brass Burner for  25 years prorated. All other parts are good for 5 years except paint. Repair costs are the responsibility of the consumer.  All warranty claims apply only to the original purchaser and require a proof of purchase verifying purchase date. I have had other people write me about their grill. . See below.

Customer 2/9 8-31-06  From Milt  Tyler,

Brian, I cannot begin to thank you for your wonderful website concerning this grill. We've been looking for a couple of years for a number to call to deal with the warranty on this grill without success. That is until last night when I ran across your website. I've called them and they certainly gave me the impression that they'll do right by me. Thanks again and God bless you.

Customer 3/9  8-29-06 Dear Brian,

What a shame that you got such a lemon, I bought my Grill in 1998 or 1999 from Home Depot for $500 and at that time and for at least 3 years after that the Great Outdoor Grill Company still were the owners and it was the BEST customer service you could ever imagine.  I believe my customer service girl was named Lynn and she sent me new burners, infighters, grill tops, anything that went wrong next day no charge no hassle. 
This new company is the problem, they are ripping people off and stating you have to have your receipts.  My grill still looks new and runs great, a little low on the flame and the bottom rack is ragged out but I use it a great deal.  Hope your grilling gets better, but the old Great Outdoors was really Great that's what happens when big companies buy little successful companies.

Thanks and God Bless.  Kirk Williams   kirkwilliams@swbell.net   214-801-0600
Customer 4/9 Johns Letter to Brian  and photos. 5-15-06
Dear Brian,

Hello , Your pics look better than mine , no.......really they could have been taken by me . I contacted the people that now own Great Outdoor Grill , all I\'m asking is for replacement of the burner and the venturi tubes , figure I can spray some paint on the rest . Anyway What are my odds ?
I have more and I can retake if there is anything you don't like . My letter was a nice email only asking if my warranty was good and saying I needed the burner and venturi tubes . I owned a Vermont Castings wood stove and the quality was outstanding so I guess I'm thinking they will back up Great Outdoors. Found your site by searching Great Outdoors Grill Warranty. Let me know how bad you think mine is . Hey you can't see it , I'll have to take out the burner for it to show in pics , but the ends of the H burner are completely eating away on all 4 ends . The starter lasted 3 months maybe . My grill was purchased in fall of 2002 and started looking like this the first year , paint and so forth . Thanks .   John

6-6-06

Hey Brian, They have been very nice and helpful . I sent the pics to them and a fax of my receipt as they requested and they are replacing the grill , I'm waiting on it now . So that's the end of it for me . You may want to post that info on your site so others will know they are backing the warranty. Again please don't put my email address on the internet. I wonder how long the new one will last . Not 75 years I'm sure. I only paid $150 on sale , but the warranty and the appearance of being well constructed was the attraction. All is well that ends well. John 

6-7-06
John,  I am glad that they are honoring their warranty.  I don't understand how they will be able to stay in business offering  a  75 year warranty.  Maybe the replacement ones are better quality and are indestructible. As others write I will post their comments. I was also impressed with the appearance of good construction.  I am 66  and never had a grill that lasted very long.     Brian
