It is quite a beautiful and a very appealing grill which looks amazing in the outdoors.amazing for holding functions and small family gatherings. Quite a big model compared to all the other similar cooking equipment, measuring 62.5 inches by 37 inches by 22 inches. You really get value for your money when it comes to size. It is purely made of steel, rusting will never be an issue. It weighs a little bit more but has wheels to make it more portable. It is also quite easy to set-up and assembles, averagely it takes you around 25 minutes to complete set-up and start using. It includes 4 burners which I found to be very awesome.
Performance
When using the Griddle side you get so many square inches to use, 604 to be exact. If you decide to use the grill side, you still get a large surface of about 501 square inches. Its heat output is adequate because both the grill and griddle are made of cast iron. They are very quick and their heat dispersal is very fine. Changing between the two is also quite easy, you just flip sides and are good to go. The taste of the food was also satisfactory from steak, ribs, and bacon to eggs and chicken. My whole cooking experience with it was just great and I felt like a real chef for a moment or two. What really stood out is the thermometer, though not digital it is very accurate. I did not expect it to be so accurate.
Everything has its downside and the camp chef top grill has just one. It may be a little bit difficult to clean. Some debris sticks to it while cooking, and can be very strenuous to clean. Although it has an easy to clean grease tray, they did not consider the cooking surface.
