Amazing Griddle

This is an honest review, based upon using the unit as part of a review team. My husband and I have used this flat top grill for a couple of months. It is a very high quality unit, that we use on a frequent basis. The Flat Top Grill has 3 burners that allowed for even cooking and different temper...

Great griddle but needs factory changes.

Incredible griddle but has some serious issues that need to be resolved. We have cooked almost every day with this griddle. With all our family in town, we have fed over 20 + people daily on it. The bad: (1) The wiring underneath caught on fire because the factory never secured it away from the ...

Best flat top grill ever

By far the best flat top grill I have ever purchased! Easy to cook with and easy to clean. I had been looking at this grill at a local hardware store for the last six months. That being said, I had compared all the other grills and I had narrowed it down to this one. Glad I made the purchase. Good job guys!

Awesome but needs Natural Gas

Excellent griddle, but why in the world would you eliminate so many potential users of convenience who have natural gas connections on their patio. To force them to continue to lug propane tanks back and forth is ridiculous when a natural gas conversion kit could be made. If the inferior Black Stone can supply a kit why can't Traeger?

Griddle is ok at best. Side shelves are garbage they flex with little weight on them. Ignition system is frustrating at times. Overall I should have stuck with my blackstone.

Hands down an amazing addition to my Traeger family. The heat distribution and easiness of cleaning is on point. This is the luxury model for flat top cooking!

The Flat Rock is far superior to the Blackstone I have! The side shelves are great, the cook top is easy to season, and temperature is very even left to right as well as front to back!

Disappointed with the Flatrock

Bought this two weeks ago and am dissatisfied. I went back and forth between this and a new Blackstone. I really went with the Flatrock due to the location of grease trap. Many online reviews cite it's convenient location under the grill prevents rain from getting into it. This is not the case. So far in two weeks with grills metal cover down and the optional Traeger grill cover in place, the grease trap has not only got water in it. It's overflowed onto my patio. Rain water is somehow also getting onto the grilling surface as well causing surface rust. My original Blackstone with no metal cover actually stayed dryer than the Traeger. The igniter hasn't worked since day one using a new Duracell 9V. I haven't run an extension cord to it to try it on 120V as it seems excessive for just an igniter. I do like the PALS rail system but honestly that feature isn't worth overlooking the shortcomings on this griddle. I should probably mention the enamel coating has work where the griddle contacts the frame and since rainwater gets under the cover I'm seeing rust in spots on the finish already. I'll be surprised if this griddle makes it two season.

Great griddle - my new favorite way to cook!

I recently purchased the flatrock after a lot of research on different griddles, and am quite happy with the purchase. It's my first griddle, but after the seasoning process, I've been using it several times a week with excellent results. As some have described, the cook surface is a little rougher than on some other cast iron and required several extra layers of seasoning to get smooth, but I suspect this also makes the resultant surface more durable. Others have also described uncomfortable heat rising from the grease trap, which I don't find to be an issue at all. The location of the grease trap does slightly reduce cooking area, but also makes it more convenient to clean the surface (overall I like the position). Others have also complained about the optional cover; I don't see an issue with it, it seems reasonable quality, goes on easily, and fits well. The flame sensors and propane gauge are very nice features. The propane gauge tracks remaining fuel by weight rather than by pressure, so is a lot more accurate than most other solutions. Others have mentioned that the propane mount feels cheap and poorly designed, but it seems completely fine to me. The propane tank is suspended on a hook which is how it measures the weight. The heating on the griddle is extremely even when measured with an instant-read thermometer. After preheating, temperatures rarely vary anywhere across the surface by more than a couple dozen degrees F. From what I've seen from other research, this is pretty unique. It makes it easier for a griddle beginner like myself to keep track of zones. Speaking of which - the zone isolation seems to work very well. The even heat also makes seasoning a breeze; it easily developed a slick, deep black patina across the entire surface. (Seasoned with grapeseed oil.) The design and layout looks well-thought-out. The shelves are large and spacious (plus the P.A.L. rails) but fold down to a compact size. Even when folded, some P.A.L. accessories can fit on the rails in some places so they don't always need to be removed. The grease chute passes through the combustion chamber so viscous greasy bits remain liquid and don't get stuck. The listed BTU output is lower than many competitors, but this is more than made up for by the flatrock's great efficiency (less fuel used, more cooking heat, less waste heat making those summer days less enjoyable). Overall this seems like a great griddle, and I'm happy with it. Although, there are a handful of minor "fit and finish" issues that aren't big deals, but things I wouldn't expect at a premium price point. Things like: - The battery compartment for the 9V battery is thin plastic and wouldn't actually hold in place under its own weight with the battery; it looked like the plastic tab was a bit too small. I sculpted some JB Weld around the tab to make it fit better and let it cure overnight, which solved the problem. - One of the fuel knobs is a bit "sticky" and doesn't always "pop out" on its own after being pushed in without being nudged. This doesn't really affect the operation, but has a slightly inconsistent feel from the other 2 knobs. - One of the two rubber grommets on the lid wasn't seated all the way and came off when I opened the lid. Easily fixed by pushing it back into its hole using a slotted screwdriver. - The adjustable leveling feet are nice; but if the wheels are screwed in more than about halfway, the leg cap makes it difficult to access and tighten the jam nut. - The grease chute isn't quite centered under the hole in the cook top, initially making it a little annoying to scrape off the spatula in the trap on the left side. Easily fixed with a little bit of force to bend the chute into place. - During assembly, the legs are very loose and wobbly when first connected. This isn't actually an issue as they were later stabilized by the leg braces, but it was confusing that the assembly instructions didn't mention that the legs would still be so loose initially after attaching them. (I probably ended up over-tightening one of the legs, which isn't a functional issue at all, but may make it difficult to remove the leg if I ever need to.) These are all minor issues; and overall, I'd definitely choose to get this griddle again and recommend it to others. The issues are all very minor (likely quality variations specific to my particular item) and none of them affect the actual cooking performance, and this griddle is likely best-in-class.

Amazing grill, not so amazing cover

I've had my Flatrock for a few months now and I love it. Performs very well and the P.A.L rails are awesome. The cover on the other hand, not so awesome. I expected the quality to be similar to the one for my smoker. It says it's water proof but I wouldn't even call it water resistant. After Hurricane Hillary my Flatrock was completely soaked. Just like Hurricane Hillary wasn't as expected, nor is this cover.

I just purchased the Flatrock. I must say it's amazing. Much better the my Blackstone. I love the fact that when cooking on the Flatrock. I don't smell like the food I'm cooking. A+ Traeger.
