This flat top grill is worth every penny! Cooks food really fast. All the food is done at the same time. Clean up is easy. So happy with this purchase. Assembly was a breeze.
This grill is awesome and has changed how we cook at home. It's fun, easy to use, and easy to clean and the quality that is synonymous with Traeger is obvious in every detail.
I received my Flat Top Grill last week. Put it together in about an Hour. Read thru the start up Instructions. Seasoned the Grill Top just like the instructions recommended. I've cooked on it 5 - 10 times so far. Easy to clean the grill top once your thru cooking. Don't forget to season the top after your done cooking. I've Cooked Eggs/Bacon/Sausage/Pancakes. It's nice to have 3 burners. You can cook all your items at different temperatures. I seared some Picanha Steak on it and it turned out Great. I've also cooked Rice, Peppers, Onions and Shrimp. I would go look at the Recipes Traeger has for this Grill. Read thru them and it will give you some ideas as to the Temperature you can start out using to learn how to cook on the grill. The Size/ Space of the Grill Top is Big. You're not going to be crowded while cooking all your items. I like not having to Clean up my Stove in my house now. Just prep your food, Turn on the Grill, Cook and Serve the Food to Everyone. No Food smells in your house now.
I’ve been using it for a couple days now and it’s by far the best flat grill I’ve had or used. I also have the Traeger Timberline pellet grill that I’m very happy with. That being said I do have a couple of feedback comments for Treager on the Flatrock if your listening. 1st: The side tables need some type of rubber bumper on them similar to the Timberline. When you fold the tables down for storage the P.A.L. assembly bumps metal angainst metal on the flatrock legs. It’s noisey and it causes the leg paint and P.A.L. rail to chaff. It can/will become a point of corrosion in the future. 2nd: I know it adds to the cost but can you design a cover for the flatrock that’s similar to the Timberline in that the cover works when the side tables are extended? The current cover version for the flatrock doesn’t allow for the extended side tables and it kind of cuts down on the effectiveness of the P.A.L. system. What’s the use of having the P.A.L. system if you have to remove all of the P.A.L. accessories to put on the cover?
The grill is great but the assembly was brutal. I have assembled ten smokers and they were all pretty easy but not the flat top. Also it could use a higher quality propane hose as when I put it on the load sensor the hose kinks. Love using it though.
A screw broke inside the grill while using handtools

Hi, and thanks for your feedback on the Traeger Flatrock. Anytime a part is damaged during normal use and maintenance, please reach out to Traeger Customer Service as soon as it occurs. This includes items like screws, bolts, nuts and other hardware, in addition to the Flatrock's major components. A quick call while you are with the griddle should provide a resolution, possibly without even needing anything replaced. And while parts may not be covered if your Traeger is out of warranty, we can still assist in other ways, regardless of how old your Flatrock is.
Overall quality is fantastic. Everything feels well made. Knock off a star for to nit picky things. First thing, if you want to see the propane level you have to plug in the grill. I do not have an outlet in a convenient spot so I cant really use this. Second thing is the handles on the side of the grill surface itself, its holes that are in not the best of spots. It can cause issues when trying to push food against the grill wall and scoop it up. A few things have fallen through.
Other then that the grill is fantastic, I do recommend getting the utensil holder, I did not and I regret it.
