Yet, as we know, Vermont Castings USA no longer makes grills, at least accordning to this email I rec’d when asking for a local part supplier:
> Our Recommendation is as follows:
> We no longer manufacture Grills or Grill parts. There is a company that
> may have parts available, please follow the link below.
> www.ibuygrillparts.com
>
> Thank you!

So did VC sell their name to CT, or did VC sell to a cheap (Chinese?) manufacturer and selling to CT.
Following links at CT, downloading the manual for a current model says support & etc is at http://www.vermontcastingsbbq.com, which is a CT property.
No mention of “china” in that manual. They do have to declare this sort of thing, no?
On attempting to email via their support pages, was told:
If you have questions about a Vermont Castings BBQ that you purchased prior to 2018, please contact us by phone directly at 1-844-586-4660 so that we can help support
Something’s fishy…
