Product Warranty & Service Policy

12-month product warranty policy

The below policy applies to products covered by a 12-month warranty. 

Flaming Coals provides a limited 12-month warranty on many of our products from the date of purchase by the original owner only.

The warranty coverage begins on the original date of purchase and proof of date of purchase or copy of the original receipt is required to validate the warranty.

High temperatures, excessive humidity, chlorine, industrial fumes, chemicals, fertilisers, pesticides, salt, and saltwater are some substances that can affect metal parts. For these reasons, the warranty DOES NOT cover rust or oxidization.

All our products have been tested and deemed suitable for domestic use only. Our products are not intended for commercial use and using these products commercially reduced the warranty to 30 days. 

Other Products: We will endeavour to assist you with all warranty claims however if your products are NOT Flaming Coals, SNS Grills, Auspit, or EZ Branded, then we recommend you try going back to the specific manufacturer for warranty claims before approaching us at BBQ Spit Rotisseries. Each manufacturer has their warranty period and process they follow.

The product warranty becomes void if the product shows evidence of being dropped, exposed to the elements, tampering including unauthorised attempts at repairs, mishandling, or misuses such as excessive fire or a motor not being counterweighted. The warranty does not provide coverage for repair costs conducted by 3rd party professionals, normal wear and tear, accidental damage, and does not cover cosmetic defects or surface rust.

Stainless steel is not immune to rusting/pitting and is therefore not covered under warranty. If you live within 2km of the coastline then you should already know you need to take extra care of your products and if you live within 200m of the coast, then it is mandatory to clean/oil your products before storage.

Offset smokers are covered against defects in workmanship and materials. The coating and cosmetic defects are not covered by the warranty. Proper seasoning of the smoker is the best way to minimise the effects of corrosion. Surface rust is not covered under warranty.

All Flaming Coals Gas spits (SPG1500 SPG1000) have been approved by the AGA to be assembled and used by consumers in Australia. The warranty is void and can be dangerous if product instructions are not followed. Damage by fire that has been incurred due to assembly instructions not being followed and leak tests not being conducted are not covered by warranty.

Warranty Exceptions: 
For charcoal pans, please review our Charcoal pan warranty policy below

Spit covers are covered by a 3-month workmanship warranty. The warranty does not cover fading, melting/burning, rips or tears. Due to Australia's harsh climate, covers can fade and may degrade quickly. We recommend storing your BBQ undercover out of the elements to increase longevity.

The warranty does not cover the postal cost, insurance, incidental charges, or any other loss incurred.

The warranty does not provide coverage for repairs costs conducted by 3rd party professionals, normal wear and tear accidental damage, and does not cover cosmetic defects or surface rust.

Charcoal pan warranty policy

Charcoal pans inside spit roasters are designed to take the brunt of the heat to protect the structural integrity of the spit roaster body. Due to the extreme heat generated when cooking with briquettes/charcoal, some bending of the pan is inevitable and will occur regardless of the thickness of the steel. Discolouring, corrosion, and cracking may also occur due to the extreme conditions created by the hot coals and fire. This is not covered under warranty. Refer to the charcoal pan usage guide.
