here are the last 5 warps that i got on camera. traeger kept me on hold for an hour today and said they'd need their upper corporate to approve the replacement and that they'd be in touch.
while i wait, does anyone else have issues with their warprock?

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!

How long have you had it?
Mine hasn’t warped, but I bought it about a month ago. It was used, but gently (seldomly) used.
Mine also does this just about everytime, I hate this griddle, wish I kept my blackstone.
Do you pre heat up both sides? Like one on low and the other on high? My slates never done that but I always have all knobs on to heat it up evenly then adjust when I’m cooking.
Also I think traeger didn’t put cross bracing under it. Earlier blackstones were the same way. My first blackstone did it once. But as long as I heated it up evenly it was fine.
Sell it and get a Blackstone. I’ve never understood why people would opt for flat top grill made by a brand that specializes in pellet grills over a brand that specializes in flat tops and is negligibly more expensive.
My Blackstone does this too, but only when it’s cold. Right now it’s cold and is badly warped. As soon as I heat it up, it flattens back out.
Oh dang! Have had mine since they came out and have never had that happen! Hope I don’t! Tried calling customer service?
Cheap Chinese steel!!!!
Wow!!! I’d call customer service, they’ll make it right once used mine regularly for about 18 months and it’s never happened.
Been using mine over a year with no issues. I’d have contacted Traeger after the first time. One of the reasons I stick with them is their phenomenal service.
I strongly suspect you are heating it unevenly. If you cause more thermal expansion in one area that another, this will happen every time.
