Just received my HB250 this afternoon, but...

August 24, 2020, 02:11 PM

All I received was the shell. No internal parts, grills, legs or any handles. They have asked for photos which I have already provided just before posting. My 7 week wait continuesâ˜¹ï¸

That is simply awful Don, I'm so sorry this happened to you. Don't forget Meathead and Max Good if you need help. MH has been a big supporter for HB and I'm sure they know it.

Ouch. My pellet grill came without the grease bucket, which contained mounting hardware and other things. Walmart supplied mounting hardware after midnight.
