Terrible bbq!

a year ago
If I could give this 0 stars, I would. So disappointed in Vermont Castings! They used to make excellent products. So many shortcuts with design and quality. I have only owned this bbq for 2 seasons and I have had so many fires (where the entire bottom catches fire). I have taken it apart multiple times to clean, which is ridiculous for such a new bbq. I don’t know if this was a dud, but what a waste of money. Never again.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Decent but expensive.

Had a Vermont castings years ago it lasted 10 years. Replaced it with this four burner and since Vermont castings sold to a big corporation the quality of these house brand has gone down hill. The rear of the bbq cooks way faster than the front, can't control the temp like the old (good) Vermont's castings which was always steady. A lot of money for what you get with this big corporations, lining the CEO's pockets. Will always wonder if a master chief bbq at half the price would have been just as good, I guess I will never know.

Q: How do you set the heat temperature.?

2 years ago
1 Answer
  • A: Thank you for your inquiry. There is no option to set a specific temperature on the Vermont Castings 4 Burner Convertible Grill. The cooking temperature is controlled through the burner control knobs from "LOW" to "HIGH". There is a temperature gauge in the grill lid. A digital meat probe, or temperature gauge accessory, is a great tool to maintain a more precise temperature. Hope this helps!

Q: Is there a counter balance weight on the lid? I find the cast iron lids are to heavy.

5 years ago
1 Answer
  • A: Hi there – Our CAST-Advantage cast iron end caps on our grills are designed intentionally to deliver heat-retention and a heavy-duty feel while also ensuring that the lid remains safely open or closed, as desired, especially during windy days. While there is no counter-balance, the lid weight remains a signature element of Vermont Castings grills that our customers enjoy. Though, relative to other barbecues, it is understandable if the weight takes some getting used to.
