Description

Elevate your backyard cooking experience with the Louisiana Grills Founders Series Premier 1200 wood pellet grill — a powerful, Wi-Fi enabled pellet grill designed for backyard chefs who demand precision, versatility, and bold hardwood flavor.

Created as part of the prestigious Founders Series honoring pellet-grill pioneer Dan Thiessen, the Premier 1200 blends over 20 years of innovation with modern smart technology and performance-focused engineering. Whether you're smoking brisket low and slow, roasting whole chickens, baking pizza, or finishing steaks over open flame, this grill adapts seamlessly to every style of outdoor cooking.

At the heart of the Premier 1200 is Louisiana Grills’ patented Pressurized Cooking System™, which circulates heat and smoke evenly throughout the chamber for consistent, edge-to-edge results. When it’s time to sear, the SearTech™ control system allows you to instantly switch from indirect heat to direct-flame cooking — reaching up to 1,000°F for steakhouse-quality sear marks.

The Smart Touch digital controller with Wi-Fi® and Bluetooth® connectivity delivers precise temperature management from 180°F to 600°F and pairs with the Louisiana Grills mobile app, giving you total control whether you're in the backyard or inside with guests.

With over 1,200 square inches of cooking space, a built-in smoke rack, and durable heavy-duty steel construction, the Premier 1200 is ideal for family cookouts, holiday gatherings, weekend entertaining, and serious outdoor cooking enthusiasts who want premium performance without stepping into full stainless pricing.

WARRANTY POLICY

At Prime Grill Shop, we partner with trusted manufacturers who stand behind the quality of their products. Every product we sell includes the manufacturer’s warranty, and our team is here to help you navigate the warranty process with clarity and confidence.

Our staff brings decades of experience supporting customers with warranty issues, and we are committed to ensuring a smooth, transparent experience from start to finish.

How Warranty Support Works

All warranties associated with Prime Grill Shop products are manufacturer warranties. Each manufacturer establishes its own warranty terms, approved replacement parts, and claim procedures.

If you experience an issue with a product you’ve purchased, the first step is to contact the manufacturer’s technical support team. They will help diagnose the problem and identify the part numbers or information needed to move forward.

Please gather the following before beginning a warranty claim:

Product serial number

Part numbers (if applicable)

Photos or videos of the issue

Notes from troubleshooting with manufacturer support

Prime Grill Shop is always available to assist if you need clarification or guidance throughout the process.

Warranty Claim Process

Although each manufacturer’s process may differ, warranty claims typically follow these steps:

  1. Contact the manufacturer’s technical support team to troubleshoot and identify any defective components.

  2. Collect all required information, including serial numbers, part numbers, photos, troubleshooting notes, or case numbers provided by the manufacturer.

  3. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for submitting a claim or requesting replacement parts.

  4. Receive updates directly from the manufacturer, including estimated shipping dates, part availability, or tracking information.

       5. Email chad@primegrillshop.com with all of the relevant information.  

Prime Grill Shop’s support team remains available if you need additional assistance or help communicating with the manufacturer.

Replacement Part Lead Times

Lead times for warranty parts vary depending on the manufacturer and current inventory levels. Some manufacturers ship replacement parts directly to customers, while others ship to fulfillment centers or retailers.

Please note:

Backordered items may extend the processing timeline.

Once replacement items are available, they will ship as soon as possible from the manufacturer or fulfillment partner.

Freight Damage vs. Warranty Claims

A warranty claim and a freight claim cannot be filed for the same issue.

Freight Damage (Shipping Damage):

Includes any visible or concealed damage that occurs during shipping.

Must be reported within 48 hours of delivery.

Should be filed as a freight claim, not a warranty claim.

Warranty Claim (Defective Product):

Applies when a product or part is defective but not damaged during delivery.

Although special circumstances exist, it is highly unlikely for an issue to require both a freight and a warranty claim.

Damaged Components Upon Arrival

If any product arrives with visible damage—manufacturers generally offer individual component replacements, so a full set replacement is usually not needed.

If visible damage is noticed at delivery, we strongly recommend:

Refusing the shipment, which automatically classifies the issue as freight damage.

Contacting Prime Grill Shop immediately so we can arrange replacement or next steps.

If the damage is discovered more than 48 hours after delivery, please follow the warranty claim process.

Professional Installation Requirements

We strongly recommend having your product installed by a licensed professional.

Most manufacturers require professional installation and may void the warranty or deny claims if improper installation is found.

This applies especially to:

Gas appliances

Grills and outdoor kitchen components

Electrical products

Venting systems

Refrigeration units

Proper installation ensures safety, performance, and full warranty coverage.
