Grills Made Through Nexgrill Imports
NexGrill sells barbeque grills as a manufacturer in a few retail stores but selling barbecues to the public is not the primary source of income for the company. NexGrill BBQ grills exists to import inexpensive barbeque grills from the orient for sale with whatever private labels the purchaser provides. Many of the BBQ grills we have purchased in the large retail stores selling products specific to their brand are actually low-cost imports provided by NexGrill. If I had a dollar for every time a customer looked at me with utter confusion as they came to understand that JennAir – with their decades old reputation for long-lasting, high quality appliances – did not manufacture their barbeque from Lowes I’d be rich.
In September 2005, Nexgrill Industries recalled gas grills sold exclusively at Home Depot. The recall covered about 86,000 Charmglow Gas Grills manufactured for Home Depot. The problem was that the hose connecting the manifold and the propane tank is too close to the firebox. The hot firebox ended up damaging the hose and creating a serious fire risk by causing it to leak gas. With at least forty-five reports of gas leak incidents involving leaky gas hoses, we know that at least five of these gas leaks have resulted in fires..
The grill involved is model number 720-0036-HD-05, a number that can be found on the back of the grill. This is a grill designed to be used with propane. The name Charmglow is located on the left-hand corner of the outside of the main burner lid. These grills were sold at Home Depot from November 2004 through June 2005 and cost about $350. Anyone who has one of these grills was asked to stop using it and contact Nexgrill Customer Service to get a free repair kit that can be done by the grill owner. Kits may also be ordered.
Charmglow grills were introduced in the 1960s and were known for their high quality construction. The different Charmglow models had names such as Perfect Host, Master Chef, and Party Host. In the 1980s, the food processing company Beatrice Foods Company manufactured Charmglow grills. The brand was later acquired by Home Depot and the grills are made by Nexgrill (models with series numbers starting with 720) and the Brinkmann Corporation (models with series numbers starting with 810).
In January 2007, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced that Nexgrill, headquartered outside Los Angeles, agreed to pay a civil penalty of $300,000 to settle the allegations that Nexgrill failed to report a fire hazard with its gas grills. The penalty was accepted by the Commission, but Nexgrill made the payment although denying that it violated national reporting requirements.
Also in 2004, the Turbo Sport Portable LP Gas Grill made by Nexgrill in Taiwan was found to have faulty gas regulators. These can release too much gas to the gas burner, resulting in an excessively large burner flame. This can also be a safety hazard if flame or a spark occurs. Though no injuries were reported, there were 18 cases of excessive flame, or the regulator shutting off. The Turbo Sport Portable LP Gas Grill recalled was model number IR600, but there is no model number on the grill itself? Barbeques Galore stores sold the grills up until August of 2005. Sales started in the summer of 2004. The grill measures 16.5 x 14 x 12 inches (L x W x H) and is made of stainless steel with a stainless steel hood. It has a Turbo Sport nameplate on the front panel of the grill. They were sold from August 2004 to August 2005 for $170 to $200.
Nexgrill started making grills for Jenn-Air in 2004, specifically the Jenn-Air Model 720-0100 Natural Gas Outdoor Gas Grill. The Jenn Air BBQ grill parts also had defects. Certain supplies, like the hose connecting to the main manifold of the grill and the natural gas source was missing. With no hose connecting the manifold to the gas source, gas could be emitted into the surrounding air creating a fire hazard. This Jenn-Air grill was an outdoor gas barbeque that had four main burners, a side burner, and a rotisserie. The name Jenn-Air was on a plate on the lid of the grill. The affected model was sold from April to May 2004 at Lowes stores across the U.S. and retailed for about $800. Consumers were directed to contact Nexgrill to obtain a free hose during regular business hours or contact NexGrill via e-mail.
Lowes home improvement stores are carriers of the brand Jenn-Air and is priced roughly in the mid-range of gas grill prices. The most popular features include stainless steal surfaces, textured pull-put drawers and brass burners. Though Jenn-Air has had a solid reputation for indoor appliances and associations with products like Dynasty outdoor grills and Maytag appliances the name is also used to market their grills. The parent company of JennAir brandings is Jade which also owns Kenmore. However, the high qualith manufacturer does not make Jenn Air or Kenmore grills. The lower-priced gas grills are imported by NexGrill and labeled for sale through retailers like Lowes. Jade’s outdoor barbeque grill models are called Dynasty and are well-built grills with a solid warranty and a great reputation.
These Jenn-Air grills have generally received less positive reviews. It is important for consumers to know who will stand behind a Jenn-Air grill before buying one. There have been many complaints about Jenn-Air -- Nexgrill customer service, particularly in late 2004, though some improvement was reported in customer service during 2005.
The general problem with many of these name-brand grills was that when Nexgrill started making them, particularly during 2004 and 2005, the quality of the grills dropped. {There were also problems with customer service in the case of Jenn-Air and Charmglow}. Although the paperwork with the barbecues claims a warranty, customers trying to report problems or use the warranty to obtain Nexgrill barbeque grill replacement parts were unable to get any assistance from the telephone contacts in the users manuals.
Specific brands imported by Nexgrill include Charmglow, Turbo, and Jenn-Air. Many consumers believe that when the manufacturer of these brands became Nexgrill, they were still able to ride on the popularity of their original brands until there started being quality control and customer service complaints. A very important aspect when choosing what gas grill to purchase is to do your research on the warranty conditions and which manufactures are licensed for that particular brand. Unfortunately when a retailer brings in a model of barbeque specific to their store, NexGrill is the biggest private-label importer.Parts become scarce the next season when the new model of barbecue uses different sized burners, cooking grates, electrodes, etc.. The paperwork promises service but the parts are rarely available because the company is counting on us to throw it away and keep buying a new one each year hoping the quality is better. It is not.
integrity of brass adapter and regulator - psi rating?
i am constructing something right now and am planning to use a 12gram co2 tank to power it. it produces about 800 psi, and i am using paintball gun parts.
my question is i am planning to use a 1/4 - 1/8 reducer/adapter to directly connect the 1/8 paintball gun hose to a 1/4 regulator. The regulator has a 160 psi gauge, and i just need it to run at 70-80 psi. Is there a PSI rating on the Regulator itself and the Reducer/adapter it self?
i have not been able to find any ratings on the regulator or reducer except for one low priced reducer on ebay which said a Brass reducer was 250psi rated.
i would appreciate any help and information, thanks
regulators are rated for the gas they're used for. You can't mix and match. If you plan on using 800 psi from co2 you need to use a co2 regulator for the type of tank you plan on using. This really shouldn't be a problem they don't cost that much. If you use a regulator from some other gas that is bottled at a much lower pressure you're in for big problems. If you use a regulator from another type of gas the seals might not hold up over time.
70-80 psi really isn't that much. As long as you don't use plastic you should be fine. If you plan on using a adapter before the regulator the biggest problem you will have is making sure you use the correct type of fittings for the systems your using. If you use the same type of fitting from the same material you should be ok. It's still best to use a regulator right on the tank then you don't have to worry.
Goodluck.
