Spark shutting down would also be extra tough for owners of the grill because the system uses a proprietary charcoal system only available from the company. The grill also has an accompanying mobile app that lets you monitor the temperatures of your cooking cavity and the food you’re cooking. The Spark is capable of getting temperatures between a low 200 degrees all the way up to a ripping hot 900 degrees.
#Briqs seasonal series
The stylish grill ditches the lumps of briquets for a single, flat charcoal “Briq,” and uses a series of stoking and cooling fans for precision temperature control.
Here’s how we described The Spark Grill when we first wrote about it: It’s a bummer because the company’s technology stood out in a sea of nearly identical grilling systems with its precision charcoal heating system. The company CEO, Ben West, has also indicated on his Linkedin that he is “figuring out what’s next.” In addition to signs that the company is no longer selling any products, its executive team looks like it has started to move on.
No email response, phone, or text back during biz hours. However after the unit leaked grease and stained my patio (my fault for not using a grill pad, their fault for advertising no need for a grease bucket) I’ve been trying to return my unit for two months and support has gone dark. When I bought my Spark in the Summer their support was top notch. And, according to some of the company’s customers on Reddit, Spark’s support lines have gone dark. Their website has stopped selling charcoal bricks and has no inventory left of its grilling systems for sale. While the company, which makes a proprietary charcoal-based grilling system, has not made any official announcement, outward signs indicate the company has all but closed up shop. It looks like Spark Grills has shut down.
(Editor’s note: Spark Grills has filed to liquidate its assets in a procedure akin to filing for bankruptcy called a “Assignment for the benefit of the creditors (ABC)”.
