Did you get a chrome, or stainless grill..? I went with stainless, many more years of satisfation, I agree though, if you haven't received it and you ordered it 3 weeks before Christmas, dang, that's terrible.. good luck... BDR :cool:

I would start calling other vendors to find one. You will probably find it in stock and possibly at a better price. :anim_25:

I would just search eBay...someone there usually has the best prices you'll find. The manufacturer is Gene Smith.

I was gonna order a 56 grille yesterday but they wanted to charge me $400 to ship it to me over here in England!! if you add that to the $299 price thats $699 and then when it gets here i'd have to pay 25% tax on it to the greedy british goverment, i could probebley get an air ticket for myself cheaper than the freight on that grille:sign0020:

Our apologies. There was a problem with our USA supplier of the raw materials. We did not get our order for the raw materials at our Santa Ana, California production facility in time to assure we would have time to stamp them and get them plated. We are sorry for the inconvenience and the depleting of stock, but it was unavoidable. As we make these locally in Santa Ana we usually can make sure we never run out... We do have them in stock now and are shipping. Again...sorry for the inconvenience.
