I let the mother-in-law use the Traeger yesterday. She turned it up in flames. Brought it back to Costco full refund. Had it for 3 1/2 years thanks, Costco!

Hey! It looks like you posted an image!
If this is a photo of one of your cooks, maybe share the recipe and techniques used, as it’s almost guaranteed one of the first questions you will be asked!
*What seasoning did you use?
*How long did you cook it, and at what temperature?
*Did you use any special tricks or techniques?
Traeger on!

Maybe you didn’t clean it

This feels like an abuse of Costco’s lenient return policy, jsut be aware, they can and will revoke your membership for repeated offenses like this.
3 years of ownership and a user error are not grounds for a return, imo.

Ah yes, the classic “I never cleaned it, let it catch fire, and then proudly abused Costco’s return policy after 3.5 years” flex. Mother-in-law didn’t burn the Traeger—neglect did.

That’s incredibly lame, why do people pull these kinds of returns?

You’re one of the reasons this type of policy will go away. The few ruin things for the many…

This is bullshit, that’s not a factory defect or Costco fault, take some responsibility
Dick move.

I think OP thought we would be impressed… When they change the policy and people that actually need it for something valid are affected, this is the reason why.

Favorite part is you cleaned it after the fire. Supposed to clean it before. Pro tip.
Did you get a new model?

Hey, maybe I’m wrong. If the majority on r/Traeger or even r/Costco genuinely back your move, I’ll own that. But I’d seriously be interested to see how Costco employees and long-time members feel about returning a 3.5-year-old grill that caught fire. If you’re confident, post it there too—let the karma speak for itself.
