Do pellet grills break? If you own a pellet grill, you’re going to have some kind of issue with it eventually. Even the best grills will have parts that wear out: the ignitor rod, the fan, a simple fuse. These aren’t hard to fix, even if you have no warranty. An ignitor rod, for example, is less than $15 on Amazon<\/a> and can be easily installed in about 20 minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n By the way, if you do need to change your ignitor rod, or you are interested in upgrading it, we recommend you get a ceramic model<\/a>, which will last you the life of your grill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/a>\n\n\n\n But what if your temperature controller goes bad? That’s a complicated system of circuitry that you’ll most likely have to replace, not repair, and they start at around $100. <\/p>\n\n\n\n And what about the metal workings within the grill? Most of us have experience with a cheap gas grill, or know someone that had one, that rusted out. The burner turned to powder from oxidation. The belly of the grill may have rusted through, or perhaps some screws or hinges failed due to rust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Remember the elements in which your pellet grill will operate. Outdoor temperatures from freezing to baking summer sun. Humidity. Rain. Frost. Perhaps snow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Now add in hours–hundreds or thousands of hours–of acidic smoke, fats and grease, ash, 500-degree heat. Plus caked on burnt grease and fat, eating away at finishes, followed by heavily abrasive scraping. It’s brutal inside that grill. <\/p>\n\n\n\n So you’ll want to start with the most sturdy materials you can afford–as much stainless steel as possible<\/a>–and a company that will have your back if things go wrong. And that’s where your warranty comes in to play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A warranty on an item is essentially a guarantee that a manufacturer makes regarding the condition of its product. It also covers the conditions and means that company will do repairs or exchanges in order to correct the product so that it meets that guaranteed condition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When you buy a pellet grill, you are being guaranteed that the grill will function as it was described and will give you some assurance regarding any parts that malfunction and prevent it from working properly. Some warranties stop there: if it cooks, it meets the conditions of the guarantee. These limits often include the paint or finish on the grill. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Additionally, no grill manufacturer offers a lifetime warranty. They have a coverage period that starts at purchase and runs a set length of time. A comparison of the major pellet grill manufacturer warranties is below.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat Exactly is a Warranty?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
