Step by step
Identify your model (SS vs SI)
SS = stainless steel (longer warranty). SI = cold-rolled steel (shorter warranty, cosmetic rust/oxidation is normal and NOT covered).
Register within 30 days
Register on tagwoodbbq.com. 30-day deadline is hard — Tagwood will not back-date registrations.
Keep proof of purchase
Dated invoice required for every claim. Save the receipt in cloud storage.
Understand what's covered
Only manufacturing defects in materials, workmanship, and parts. Cosmetic rust on SI models, scratches, dents, chemical-cleaner damage, improper maintenance, and any modification void the claim.
Common mistakes
- Filing a rust claim on an SI (cold-rolled steel) model. Tagwood is explicit: on SI models, 'surface rust and oxidation are normal. These conditions are cosmetic only and do not affect the structural integrity or performance of the grill.' Not covered — file-and-paint instead.
- Using the grill commercially. Commercial, rental, and institutional use voids the warranty entirely.
Hands-on tips
- The SS vs SI distinction is critical — SS gets longer coverage; SI needs annual paint-touch-up on rust spots as a cosmetic routine.
- Report shipping damage within 30 days of delivery and keep original packaging until Tagwood inspects.
