On my Wolf w/grill, using my very large 6qt. skillet on a burner will sometimes cause the cover to warp but it returns to normal after cooling. Not a big deal but I was surprised when it first happened.

This is a 4 burner dual fuel with grill.

I think in the manual it states some nonsense about not using "oversized" pans.

Our Bluestar does the same thing. The cover will warp a bit when using the burners next to it but it returns to its shape when it cools. Not a big deal...especially since we rarely use the grill cover anyway. When we spiff up the kitchen for company and for show, we may occassionally pull the cover out and use it but most of the time and especially when cooking (company or not), the cover is tucked away in a cabinet. We really rarely use it...I like the look of the grill better.

Remove the cover when using burners, replace when done

No warping that I have noticed. Our problem is flare-ups from the grill scorching the drip pans.

chipshot what brand and type do you have?

Can you describe this situation more clearly for me?

Wolf. I'd describe the drip pan situation as the finish (black paint?) bubbling on the surfaces of the drip pans closest to the charbroiler. Most, if not all, of the damage was done when grilling a large piece of salmon.

Wow. How old is your unit? Wolf may replace the pans even if out of warranty.

I would think there is that much heat also below a searing hot pan and then damage there also.

Something sounds fishy hehe..

Is it just me? I would think a $15,000 stove that supposedly is built for quality should not be warping the cover. Their older stoves models did not do that because they used better grade stainless steel. Isn’t it worrying that they just say, don’t worry it goes back when cooled?
