Blackstone Adventure Ready 2-Burner 28" Propane Griddle with Foldable Locking Legs

I love this griddle. However I am a little disappointed in Walmart. Seems they shipped me an item that was possibly returned. We were able to make it work. The blackstone was bent and a little difficult to assemble

Everything was fine up to when I assembled the unit. I followed the instructions and began to season it to prepare to use it and then I found the imperfection. There is a raised metal weld that sticks out three quarters from the right. Every time that I moved the rag to clean and put the oil on the cook top it snagged in that area. I used a spatula and it got cut up also. Along with that frustration when I would lightly cook over that area I would have to go around that area to cook. Because if I put a heavy item like a steak it would get stuck there too. So you can appreciate my frustration. I took the unit back to Walmart and they gave me another one, no questions asked but instead of taking it home without inspection, the sales agent and I opened it. We discovered another flaw in the unit. So, the sales agent advised me to write to the manufacturer to see what they could do or opt out for a refund. I told him I would write the manufacturer to see what they would advise me to do.
