    People!!
    I purchased a camp chef flat top grill while my wife had a contractor put in a real kitchen. I was not disappointed!! This grill is outstanding simple reliable and cooks food beautifully!! Outstanding!! Be careful with the grease drain. Once the grill is hot lower the heat to the lowest setting as the hot iron will maintain an even heat and not burn food!

    Goodness, that's probably the best meal I've seen made on a flat top, and the way you make it sounds and look so easy helps so much. Was thinking about getting a flat top (not this one, too poor) but you sold me over a regular grill. Only thing I can think a regular grill does better is grill marks, wind managment, and sealing in heat (a lid for roasts). The shear convenience of these while doing average things like burgers, hot dogs, fries, eggs, bacon... ect is awesome and such a time saver.

    Here are a couple of tips that make assembly slightly easier th-cam.com/users/postUgkxCx5fHawkK9OoV-ojFrY8JLnZrFwAmvUt . 1) One person can assemble, but if you have a buddy to help, it will make it go faster - especially steps 1-3 and 8 (the legs aren't heavy but can be difficult to hold while screwing things in). Step 8, 1st part will take some time unless you have two more hands OR are really lucky. 2) Use a socket wrench! 3) Step 7, 3rd part - the flame carry over tube has an open side, MAKE SURE THE OPEN SIDE IS FACING THE FRONT. If it's facing the back, the tube won't work. 4) Step 10, 3rd part - if you don't have small hands (I don't, they're gigantic) getting the nut on is really difficult (but not impossible). It took me about 4 hours to assemble, but I took a "union break" every 60-90 minutes and ate a quick lunch. Also, I'm really OCD so I took my time, looked at the instructions carefully, and cleaned up as I went.

      @@FernandoRodriguez-ds5ri I love it. I really enjoy cooking on this thing. Take care on cleaning and seasoning the griddle; not that it's difficult. Although no grill marks, steaks turn out really well and having foods sectioned off at different temps on the griddle is next level. There's a tonne of recipe ideas on YT for ya. Best.

    I saw a video for using a potato to clean the griddle surface. I guess cooking the potatoes where the steaks were cooked will help clean the griddle? Just got my Denali pro 3x and luv it. I have the 2 burner griddle to compliment the single burner griddle that came with the stove coming today so I can cool lotsa pancakes.

    • @campchef
      @campchef  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      That black finish is our True Seasoned Finish. Griddles with this finish come pre-seasoned so you can cook on them right away, it also provides a type of non-stick finish for more convenient cooking. This model comes with a huge flat top griddle as well as traditional grill grates that can be switched out so you can easily both grill and griddle on this unit.

      @dkidl2000 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      A friend of mine bought one of these griddles last summer, he bought it because of all the hype around these things. He invited me over for the first cookout. He cook some steaks on it and some burgers. We both talked it over and said that they tasted good, but they also tasted like something that could have been cooked inside.
      When we cook outside we kind of want that outdoor grilled flavor on our food. And the flat top just wasn't giving that. I got an infrared grill that heats up to 600 - 700 degrees pretty fast. And there's no flame ups with that, and everytime I grease drips down it gives off smoke. Just gives a nice flavor to the food. For any kind of meat my choice is a grill, sorry.
      What they should do is a blind taste test. Go to a street fair or something like that. Take a charcoal grill, a gas grill, and one of these flat top grills, and cook some steaks on each one of them. Hand out some samples to people and don't tell them which one was cooked on which. Then see which one the people thinks is better tasting. My money would be on the charcoal one first, gas grill second, and the flap top would come in third. That's JMHO of course.

    just an FYI, that is not a cast iron griddle. that camp chef griddle is a big piece of steel with a coating they spray on. Over time it actually rubs away and sadly into your food. Not sure what the spray is specifically, but it is NOT cast iron. camp chef has a half griddle that is cast iron, if you want cast iron go that route, not the full length nonstick spray piece of steel.

    I believe he intended to say smoke point, vs flash point, which is the temp that any particular oil smokes/begins to break down/loses flavor. Don't let oil heat up too long before cooking with it...
