Gas Logs Express & BBQ Grills 2020 North Bell Boulevard, Cedar Park, TX 78613

"I purchased a Primo Large Grill and Primo Cypress Countertop Table on May 20th last year from David Brown, the owner of Gas Logs Express & BBQ Grills. 8 months later the table broke. Mr. Brown has refused to issue a full refund, has suggested the table has no warranty, and said he will get his attorneys involved – over a $900 table. He also said on Feb. 11th, that after speaking with Primo and his attorneys, he would get back to me by Feb. 20th. I have heard nothing from Mr. Brown since Feb. 11th. Feb. 3, 2024 I notified Primo of the serious problem with their Table. As seen in my photos, after only 8 months, it seems to have broken in half as it is apparently unable to hold the weight of the Primo Grill – close to 200 lbs. by the way. Feb. 8, 2024 Primo (they are actually called Empire Comfort Systems) replied saying, “you will need to go through who you purchased the grill from for refunds”. I sent Primo’s email to David Brown. Within minutes I received a call from Mr. Brown. He excoriated me, completely unhinged, and yelling that I forgot to tell Primo that this was the 2nd table his staff had delivered. I’m not sure why it makes a difference, but this is actually the 2nd table they delivered because the first proved defective within a couple of weeks. A few hours later I received this email from Mr. Brown. “I will issue the refund. Let me know when I can come pick up the cart after you have removed the grill from the cart. I will schedule the pick up asap and bring you the refund check when we pick up the cart.” I replied and then received this email from Mr. Brown. “Kim and Gabe will pick up on Friday 2/16/2024 between 11am & 12pm”. Feb. 10, 2024 I received this email from Mr. Brown. “Also there is a $140 plus tax service charge for picking up the damaged cart (will be deducted from the refund on the cart) or you can drop the damaged cart off at our showroom. Just let us know either way.” I informed Dave Brown that I would not be paying any pick-up fee as this is the 2nd defective table they have delivered. Note that both the grill and table were delivered to my home as part of our purchase. I told him I expected him to pick up the table and issue a prompt refund. He replied, “When you decide let us know, those are the choices.” A 1/2 hour later he also sent me this email. “After reading your previous response, we have decided to get our lawyer involved.” I replied that is not how a reputable business operates and insisted that he pick up the table and issue a full refund. Feb. 11, 2024 Mr. Brown sent me this email. “Our decision to issue a refund on the damaged cart is now on temporary hold. We need to do some more research on the warranty on the cart. We also need to speak to our lawyer, reps for Primo/Empire and also their legal counsel. We will be meeting the reps and counsel from Primo/Empire next Wednesday (2/14/2024) or Thursday (2/15/2024).We will be talking to our lawyer this week sometime I hope. We hope to have a response by Tuesday 2/20/2024.” Mr. Wood then followed up with another email later in the day trying to justify his actions and suggesting that the 8-month-old table may not have a warranty! Mr. Wood now wants to get lawyers involved. This is all over a $900 table that has been in my backyard only 8 months. Mr. Brown might want to read up on the legal standard of “Implied Warranty of Merchantability.” March 3, 2024 Mr. Wood, let me make my point clear. You have delivered two defective tables to me. The tables are sold by Primo, the maker of the same grill I also purchased from you, with the expressed purpose of supporting their grill. The table broke in a mere 7 1/2 months. The table is defective, and as this is the 2nd defective table you have delivered, I do not want another. I want a full and complete refund. By the way, the “Implied Warranty of Merchantability”, which does apply to you since you are a retailer of these goods, suggests that a product should perform properly for at least 4 years."

"Pretty annoyed with this company. We had to wait 3 weeks for our appt, but then the technician called in sick that day. He was able to come out the following week, thankfully. When I scheduled the appt, I made it clear that we were referred to them by Woodland Direct (who we purchased the fireplace from) and that they requested the technician call them to start the warranty process. Through a mix up, we called the wrong customer support line and Chris quickly got frustrated with the CSR on the phone and hung up before getting anywhere with them. He felt they didn’t know what they were talking about and didn’t want to waste his time. He then said he wouldn’t call back into them and we’d have to order any parts directly from them to get it repaired. I said it’s covered under warranty and we need to call back in to get everything covered correctly. He then tried to get aggressive with me and argued that he was not responsible for this issue. Apparently he was upset with Woodland Direct for referring his company when he’s never given them permission to. If this was the case, and you knew this information when I made the appt, why even take the appt?? My husband had to come into the conversation to de-escalate the situation and eventually we decided it was a miscommunication and figured out how to move forward. Well… just got an email from them saying they won’t be servicing our fireplace because we didn’t buy it from them. Honestly, I think Chris went and cried to daddy (family owned business), proving how unprofessional and immature he is. Completely ridiculous and a total waste of time. Only reason they aren’t getting one star is because Chris apologized for getting frustrated with me."

"Friendly and knowledgeable staff. They gave me a veteran discount, and the gas log system price was comparable to a different manufacturer's quote."

"The woman that helped us at this store was so kind and knowledgeable! We spent just the amount we wanted to, and got a beautiful fireplace out of it. This place was such a great place to go to for our gas fireplace needs- highly recommended!!"

"We stopped by on a whim and I'm glad we did. They were very informative and helpful and their prices were very competitive with other quality sets. Made it very easy for us to decide which log set we wanted. Installer was excellent. Very nice and did a great job installing the logs. Can't recommend them enough."
