Bought this a few months ago. Gone through my first propane tank. Grille has been AWESOME. Very even heat across the entire surface. Love the different zones. Built very sturdy! Love you oversize shelves. Love the fuel gauge and the burner ignition lights. We went from a weber genesis that we hardly used anymore, to this. I bet we've used this griddle more the past few months then the last few years on weber (and not knocking weber genesis, nicest bbq I have ever owned). Just love you can cook large breakfast for everyone. Grill up sandwiches for lunch. And do so many things for dinner. It was between this and the camp chef gridiron 36 for me. Very similar units. I liked the height more of traeger. Also liked the 4 adjustable castor wheels. Gridiron doesn't have that, can only adjust the griddle flat top front to back, not left to right. Also liked the propane tank beneath the unit instead of the side as the flatrock can fold the shelves down...gridiron ya can't with a propane bottle attached. Grease management is awesome on both. I love the grease trap up front. It's a natural sweep toward yourself and is more the conventional way of flat tops at restaurants. I haven't been impressed by the other brands, other then the price. Ya get what ya pay for. Budget good griddle, camp chef gridiron 36. For me, it's the traeger flatrock all the way!!
I’ve had mine just about a year and it has been one of the best grills that I have ever had. The things that you can cook are endless. I also bought one of the very first pellet grills/smoker that they made about 25 years ago and I’m still using it.
Its a FLATROCK, assembly took a bit, cooks a dream. Seasoning took a bit, a bit more info on recommended oils would be helpful. But the first cook wet smooth, food was delish. Need removable cover/grate for debris trap, it'll take some getting used to on its location.
I bought this unit in January. It has been nothing but problems. I may have used it 10 times. The battery pack falls out of the flat rock. The heat is never consistent. At times It will not even heat up to temp. The ignite panel is peeling off the grill and now fails to work. This is my first Traeger product. I’ve owned 6+ grills(other brands) and this is my first negative experience.
This flat rock is amazing in comparison to my last blackstone griddle I owned. The placement of greastrap is what led me to purchase this Traeger. So much cleaner when grilling and heating elements are superb! Thank you
Assembly wasnt all that bad the included video guide was helpful. My only peeves are a bottom shelf for tools woulda been neice. Also since I store outside no garage. Keeping it covered means side shelves have to be down which in turn means no storage for anything .
