Vermont Grill Purchased at Home Depot Explodes

Vermont Grill Purchased at Home Depot Explodes

My Vermont Grill manufactured by Vermont Castings for Home Depot has EXPLODED.  If you purchased a similar grill from Home Deopt and are currently using it on your patio or deck, please be careful.  I would recommend discontinuing use of this specific grill altogether as it is serious safety and fire hazard in my opinion.

I purchased the Vermont Grill in the picture from Home Depot.  It came with a warranty from Vermont Castings but sadly, the company is no longer around and the warranty is worthless.  That is a disappointment but I had managed to continue to use the grill and the cosmetic stuff was no big deal anyway.

But WOW, I was not expecting a grill from Home Depot to become a backyard bomb.  I was heating up the grill to cook some chicken and heard an explosion.  I walked on to my patio to find parts blown all over the place and the grill on fire  under the grill deck in the casing.

I have removed the grill from my patio and it is on the way to the junkyard.  This grill cost a bundle and should have lasted much longer than it did.
