Camp Chef Griddle 1 Year Review (Best Flat Top Grill Review)

This Camp Chef Griddle review shows you the pros and cons of the Camp Chef Flat Top Grill after over one year of frequent use. We use our flat top grill at least 3-4 times per week to cook everything from omelettes to steaks, and after about 14 months of heavy use, I would absolutely recommend the Camp Chef Flat Top Grill 600 to anyone!

Find out what I like and don't like about the Camp Chef FTG600 in this review!

Bottom line - Would I buy the Camp Chef griddle again? Absolutely!
*And be sure to check out my video for the unboxing and initial review of the Camp Chef from when I first got it!

Just ordered mine yesterday! I'm stoked! Love your channel, FTK!

I've had a Camp Chef FTG475 for a while and I've noticed some of the cons you've mentioned. Regarding the grease trap. What I've done with the hole for the grease trap was to drill it out a bit to make it more functional. If you are going to do this, be careful not to make the hole too big because of the risk of some of the grease not reaching the grease tray.

I discovered the side shelf heat issue the first time I used the FTG and melted an oil squirt bottle. 🤦‍♂️ From then on, I've used a metal side table. What I do use the side shelf for is to keep food warm. I have a small wire rack to keep cooked items like toasted buns or bacon warm. To catch any grease or other debris under the wire rack I use some tin foil.

Great review / video. I have the same flat top and think it is awesome. Lastly, CONGRATULATIONS on the 5, 000 subscribers!!! I am very happy for your success.

[randyjanicki]

Love your videos and the amount of information that is explained. I’ve had my FTG600 for nearly 2 years and love it. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and time that you and your wife put in.

[briannelson]

I had no idea about the leveling screws either, and Ive had my unit for 3 years!! Nice catch!

[AaronGrijalva]

Great review, thank you. Just got my 4 burner (6 burner is impossible to find right now) after watching plenty of videos. I subscribed to your channel and went with the camp chef. Thank you for your service and thank you for your channel.

[kansaswildcat]

Recently bought the Sam's Club 4 burner griddle. I am anxious to apply all of the knowledge I have acquired from watching your videos. I have learned so much and feel way more comfortable cooking on a cast iron flat top griddle. Thanks for the videos and keep them coming. I look forward to learning as much as I can from you and your efforts.

[dkgoff]

I am planning to cook on my Camp Chef flat top grill for the first time this weekend. I can't wait to try some of the recipes that you have shared. Great channel!!!

[joepreiser]

Good review. Don’t own a flat top yet but definitely leaning toward the Camp Chef 4 burner

[chrisbsworld]

Been following your channel from the start. Your approach to cooking is honest and people can relate to you. I think that is why your channel is growing. Both of you keep up the great work and have fun doing it.

[willsoszka]

Your channel is 100% the reason I purchased the Camp Chef. Thank you for the great content, keep it coming. Look forward to you hitting the 10k mark next!

[evolvegod]

Glad I watched this, had a very minor problem with leveling. Keep kicking out videos.

[markciesielski]

Every video you two do, I learn something. Thank you so much.

[mokeed]

I bought one because of you. You’re the man. Thank you for the info.

[teresacabanas]

Thank you for your review. I just purchased a flat top and can't wait to start using it. I'm so glad I found your channel to get, tips, tricks and recipes!!

[NipItInTheBud]

Cant wait for you to review the new Camp Chef Grdiron 36" griddle! Looks pretty nice!!

[deecai]

Thank you for an in-depth review. I want to thank you for your time and effort into the channel

[stevengulan]

Congrats on 5k!!! Ur getting better with every vid. Thanks a bunch.

[garycline]

Thank you very much for your amazing videos! I’ve had the little Camp Chef oven/two top burners for years and love it. At the camp site, people have stopped to take pictures of it. Now, I just purchased the Camp Chef Pro90 three burner unit and the optional full length griddle. I’ve never used one of these so your tips were extremely helpful, especially watch for the high heat and clean as you go. Yesterday, I cooked burgers for thirty people at our rowing club barbecue and this thing was amazing! It was amazing because of your tips. I may have the job as club cook now!😄 Thanks again for an amazing job and I look forward to viewing all of your videos. Gary.

I know a lot of great outdoor chefs that use the Camp Chef especially for sport cooking. I've really enjoyed watching your channel for the tips and the recipes.
