In an effort to continually improve our products, we have made modifications to the grease drawer design that should virtually eliminate grease leakages. We would love the opportunity to discuss this issue further and provide you with the updated grease drawer kit. Please contact our customer support phone line at 1-844-586-4660 to speak with one of our service specialists.

    Q: I am considering purchasing either a 3 or 4 burner Vermont Casting BBQ. My understanding from responses in the reviews is that a change was made January 2020 to eliminate the grease dripping issue. How can I determine if BBQ manufacture is post Jan 2020?

    5 years ago
    1 Answer

    A: As you have read, as of January 2020, we have made modifications to the grease drawer design that should virtually eliminate grease leakages, helping to keep the grill cart and the surrounding deck or patio clean. Models G53901 (3-Burner) and G54002 (4-Burner), manufactured prior to 2020, should now include a second box containing this updated grease tray. If you receive one of these models but do not receive the updated tray, you can always reach out to our support number and we will send one to you ASAP. Our number is 1-844-586-4660.
