Wanting a Griddle Camp Chef vs Blackstone

[clifish]

Pulled the trigger on the Camp Chef, for $220 you can't go wrong. Will post up some assembled pics.

Make sure you get the separate box that has the griddle top in it!

Nice ! Enjoy that . I'm gonna break out the Blackstone on Sunday .

The griddle box was at the bottom of the big box, it weighs more than the entire grill. It was packed very good and went together in about 25 minutes. I will season it tomorrow and break it in with something tomorrow night. Seems like a very good unit.

Nice! You will really enjoy it. Have fun flipping spatulas!!

Nice purchase. Can you get heat/ deflector shields to put over burner tubes if used as regular grill ?
Edit: my bad, it looks like there is in 3rd pic

yes it came with the shields, not sure I am going to grill on it much as my gasser is hooked up to my house's natural gas. It is nice to know that I can use it if needed. I am really looking forward to doing breakfast, cheese steaks, smash burgers, Gyros, fajitas and anything else this great forum can think up!

Get a couple of the cheap plastic squirt bottles if you don't already have some .

I am looking for a griddle and there are two that I am considering, the first is the Blacktone ProSeries 3 Burner 28" from Walmart that has a fold down metal cover for $174.00, the other is a 4 burner model (Model: FTG600BJ ) camp chef at a wholesale club on special for $220.00.

Both seem to have 600 sq" of cooking surface
Differences:
Blackstone: 3 burners, rear grease trap, metal fold down cover

Camp Chef: 4 burners, front grease channel/trap, soft cover, converts to a real grill if griddle is removed.

What say this great community?

Where did you end up getting this? I am looking and it sounds like you got a great deal.

I got the Camp Chef from BJ's wholesale club for the $220. It is very nice although I think I like the rear grease trap design on the blackstone, but still loving this.
