I've wanted a griddle for quite some time now and have done many hours of research. The portability and quality of the Camp Chef Pro 90X made it the perfect choice for me.
That’s a pretty cool griddle/grill and great review Gary! The portability is really nice, looking forward to seeing you cook on it, griddles are a lot of fun. Have a great week brother!
I’ve had one under my out door kitchen for 2.5 years. Have the griddle 3 burner and it came in handy for pancakes and stir fry. That said I use my cast iron skillets on mine almost exclusively now. Only complaint is that the body rusted out really bad. For it to have been under a roof all the time I was disappointed. Just replaced it with another that will be covered with their cover and I will may have to break it down after use. Not many competitors Outland has one but I stuck with camp chef. Hope this one holds up better.
Great unboxing and preview. This is on my someday list. So many attachments, plus very portable. Try doing that with a Blackstone Griddle. For what I have gathered, you won't be disappointed in product. Nicely Done. Thanks for sharing. 😎.
We are all going to need a stove like this brother for some of the things that are about to occur. Yes sir. Thank you for the full demonstration. I really like the triple flame (or stations ~ can't think what you call them, lol) feature. Bacon is a great first cook! :)
Thanks it is definitely going to be handy. I will be keeping it in the garage and literally carrying it out to use. I'm looking forward to a whole new world of possibilities cooking on it.
Thanks Phil I've been wanting one of these for a long time and am super excited about it. It will open up a whole new world to explore. Btw Louis are cooking together tomorrow night and are thinking of going live.
I have that same outfit as well as the Tahoe model (same stove with different legs and red shelves are extra). I cooked 9 pounds of bacon with no wind protection for a men's group breakfast. It completely filled that grease cup. With the full griddle, you cannot see when one of the burners blows out from wind. When the griddle is fully loaded, it takes 2-3 people turn, unload and load bacon. It's very easy to warp the big griddle even on medium heat. When bacon grease drains away from the center of the griddle, that's where the warp occurs. Bacon actually cooks slowly and then it burns if not promptly removed. Cooking ONE pound of bacon works well for a single cook and a few folks. Even on medium heat, one person cannot keep up with the stove. Learn to cook on the lowest amount of heat necessary. Unless you are doing a crab boil or canning, go with low heat and keep the IR thermometer in your pocket.
GT, on another site I was discussing grill mats. Mine is not quite large enough to give good coverage and I recommended using some drywall to extend the coverage. I don't know how many cooking devices you own but a single sheet of 5/8" could be cut down to manageable size rather than buying expensive grill mats.
What I like about camp chef over the blackstone is it comes with a grate if you want to grill blackstone you have to buy a grate aftermarket nice flattop your going to love it 👍
If you were to remove the wind shield can you leave the griddle on top of the stove and still completely close the red table tops to keep the griddle clean & protected until next use?
This is an excellent stove. However, in north Texas in August, I'm going to cook indoors most of the time on my kitchen equipment. My cooktop has several burners at 12,000 to 14,000 BTU each. Each Camp Chef burner is 30,000 BTU but all the literature recommends starting on low to avoid griddle warpage.
I own the camp chef Tahoe stove, now I’m considering getting the 37” pro griddle to go on the Tahoe stove for the house. Are you happy with the heat distribution on the 3 burner stove? I have the Blackstone 22” adventure ready griddle for our 5th wheel and love it.
Yes the pro griddle is really consistent across the whole surface. Gets hot though so keep the burners way down. I find the same thing to be true on my full size Blackstone. Thanks for taking the time to watch!
I use the smaller traditional looking canister. I think it is one gallon. Works great for space saving but boy that thing was expensive. Thanks for taking the time to watch and have a great trip!
I've got same set up, it's for camping so have all the carry bags for it. They are a good investment. I also got the 2 burner grill box and bag. Makes it easier to transport and put away
I have to confess I haven't cooked on this much yet but I did notice it's a bit tricky to get the three sections even. I plan to keep the far right burner off and do my best to adjust the other two evenly. I have some actual cook videos coming soon. I really appreciate you watching and commenting. It means a lot.
How much weight will the shelves support? The limit is 20 pounds. Plan for an extra table to place or receive your food items. Spatulas and seasonings go on the shelves.
Do you prefer Blackstone or this one?which one is the hotter? I want do private chef, I'm still thinking take portable so is easy to bring to my car later.
@@gtsbarbecueandcuisine4837 it sure does and i used to have a shirt that said just that, now u want to see some vegan jokes ua-cam.com/video/K4Y_gqVx-fE/v-deo.html
I got that on Amazon. It is the Camp Chef Pro 90X and I purchased the high end griddle accessory. I got it because it's portable but I still may get the FTG 600 model. In my opinion it's the best value you can buy. Thank you for watching!
Are all three burnes SPACED EVENLY apart? So many times I see a short flat gop griddle being used it is always over the left side and middle burners. Why doesn't anybody use accessories like grill box or griddle over the middle and right side burners?
You know I’m not positive and have it in its bag in the garage. I believe the two on the left are closer and used for the grill leaving a smaller space for the small griddle. I confess I haven’t used it much yet but will confirm and get back to you this weekend. Thanks for watching and asking.
@@gtsbarbecueandcuisine4837, have you used it yet? Is the middle burner closer to the left side burner? Or is the middle burner centered directly in the middle?
Yes the middle burner is closer to the left side burner. The two on the left are about 10 I’m apart and the far right one is about 13 in from the middle one. Hope this helps. Sorry it took so long to respond.
Yes I did Howard but my Blackstone does too. I learned to use it on low as needed. These things are sensitive but if you keep your food moving you shouldn’t have too much trouble. I cooked a lot of good food on it. Thanks for taking the time to watch!
By now, you have watched a few Todd Toven videos on UA-cam (he does Blackstone demos for Cabela's). In order to increase your Pro 90X time, I recommend his recipes and food choices. A Pro 90X is NOT a "slow cooker" - choose foods that take advantage of all that heat. Don't cook in one-meal quantities, cook for one meal today and the same meal tomorrow. On the third day, choose something else. If you are going to spend the time running a hot stove like the Pro 90X, cook up enough food at the same time to practice cooking "at capacity". Just don't try to eat it all at once.
Wow that's excellent advice Tom! Thanks so much for commenting. I am pulling that thing out this week and logging some flight time lol. Really appreciate your feedback.
It will be money well spent to purchase a grill mat to catch grease spills from the stove. We have stained concrete but a wood deck will have the same issue. The grill mat is a masonry product available at home centers. They are not expensive (about $40) compared to refurbing your back porch,
Safety clearances: Never operate this appliance within 10 ft (3 m) of any structure, combustible material or other gas cylinder. Never operate this appliance within 25 ft (7.5 m) of any flammable liquid. (From Camp Chef Safety Instructions document). You can STORE a cold stove wherever you like, preferably with the LP supply disconnected. However, before lighting the appliance, make sure that proper minimum clearances are satisfied.
Family story (conventional LP grill with exhaust from the rear). My son's friends used his LP grill at his house without pulling it away from the plywood garage exterior wall. It scorched the white paint and could have set the house on fire. The burn marks are still there. Don't let this happen to you.
Great unboxing, review, seasoning and first cook. Shes a beauty. The portability and the easy assembly. Looking forward to more cooks!
Thanks! Yea there was basically no assembly lol. I’m really looking forward to using it.
That’s a pretty cool griddle/grill and great review Gary! The portability is really nice, looking forward to seeing you cook on it, griddles are a lot of fun. Have a great week brother!
Thanks Charley the quality was surprising and virtually no assembly. This will work well for me. Can’t wait to explore new worlds of cooking on it.
Welcome to the CAMP CHEF FAMILY. I really like those. I need to add to my collection. I like the portability of it. Camp Chef makes a great product,
Thanks Chris! I can't wait to explore new worlds lol
That's a nice looking griddle.. You did a great job unboxing and setting it up.
Thanks Joe it will open up a whole new world of cooking for me. Can’t wait to play with this thing! 🍻🥩🍔
Nice review!! One on these days I will get have to get one of these! I can just imagine the breakfast that rig could cook! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching! I’ve wanted one of these for a long time. Can’t wait to learn to use it lol.
That’s pretty sweet - I like how it all folds up and is portable- perfect size to. Perfect camera angle for griddle-Ing up food and recording.
Thanks Louis I think it's a perfect fit for me. And now that you mention it the camera angle thing is right on. See you Tuesday@!
Great job with that unboxing and review bro. I have that 36" Camp Chef and I swear I don't use it nearly enough. Thanks for sharing...
Thanks Alton I have to admit I’m a little intimidated by it lol. I’m going to take a whole day sometime soon and just wade in and try some things.

I haven't had a chance to use it much yet but did notice it runs hot.
Awesome and great video my friend 😎👍
Thanks for watching! I really appreciate it. I have a lot to learn on this thing though.
Great review thanks! 😎👍
Thanks for taking the time to watch!
great unboxing 👍👍
Thanks! I used it for the first real cook yesterday and it was good. Definitely a learning curve lol. I appreciate you watching and commenting.

Grazie per l’attenzione. I can’t wait to learn how to use it lol. 🍻
Very nice grill. Have much fun with it. Cu Sascha
Thanks Sascha! I definitely will. Opens up a whole new world of possibilities! I appreciate your support it means a lot!

No unfortunately you have to remove the griddle. And honestly it’s really heavy.

Yea I cook on it as low as possible

I cook most things on my 22” Blackstone between low and medium. No need for high yet. Might need it in higher wind maybe.
Bought this today for a camp trip coming up... May I ask what size bottle are you using? Thank you
I use the smaller traditional looking canister. I think it is one gallon. Works great for space saving but boy that thing was expensive. Thanks for taking the time to watch and have a great trip!
Nice video
Thanks Matt. I appreciate you taking the time to watch!
Great video and demonstration! Jus curious if you had an opinion or new thoughts after owning the Pro 90x for a couple of years?
I loved the pro 90X but with the pro griddle accessory it was jus too heavy to lug around and setup. I’m getting old lol.
I've got same set up, it's for camping so have all the carry bags for it. They are a good investment. I also got the 2 burner grill box and bag. Makes it easier to transport and put away
Thx. Is the heat evenly distributed in the griddle?

Thanks yes I have a little table I can roll around. You're right those shelves aren't going to hold much weight.
Do you prefer Blackstone or this one?which one is the hotter? I want do private chef, I'm still thinking take portable so is easy to bring to my car later.
So sorry for the late response. That Camp Chef is by far the best portable option. Thanks for taking the time to watch!
what size is that griddle? overall size not cooking area. i have a griddle thats 16x32 overall size. is that the one you have as well?
Honestly I’m not sure. I’ll measure it and get back to you.
Mine is 18 X 37
16x38 for mine
portable, its perfect to take to the vegan protest and give out free bacon
LOL yes! PETA stands for people eating tasty animals! Thanks for watching Professor I really appreciate it!
