It was about a year and a half ago, and as far as I recall, no special tools were used. An adjustable wrench and a screwdriver are all you need. It took about 45 minutes to assemble. I just wanted to make sure that you know the shelves On the left you will find the one with a little lip on the side. How the grease pan attaches to the lid is by the lip.

Selected User Reviews For Camp Chef Flat Top Grill, True Seasoned Griddle Surface, Four 12,000 BTUs/Hr. stainless steel Burners
Since purchasing the Camp Chef, I have never looked back, since the best backyard food I have ever cooked came from this device. It is important to emphasize a few specifics in this case. First off, if you know what you have, this is an awesome cast iron cooktop. Generally, people who complain about the Camp Chef 600 really do not know what they're complaining about. It is common for people to complain of rust because they do not realize that the first thing they should do is oil (or grease) and season the top as soon as the grill is assembled. After rubbing lard or cooking oil all over the grill (generously), operate it at medium for a few hours, and then wipe clean with a damp cloth. You won't have to worry about rust if you do this. Anyone who cooks in cast iron knows this to be true. The second thing I want to mention is Again, they do not know how to get cast iron clean, so they complain that they cannot maintain the top. To remove most of the residue when you finish cooking, just leave the burners on for a few minutes, scrape off all the food you've just cooked, then rub the surface down liberally with cooking oil. You don't need to wash the seasoned surface more than that. You should never use soap or oil cleansers, and you should stop worrying about Those germs aren't allowed to live on hot surfaces, so next time you cook, you won't find them (besides, they hate oil). You should treat cast iron right if you want to get the most out of it. A cast iron surface is not only easy to clean, but also very durable. Except when cooking on the grates, you should use this surface as a Japanese Hibachi chef would. Butter and olive oil can be used to cook steaks. In a skillet, melt butter and squeeze lemon juice over fish. Olive oil or coconut oil is a great way to dress up your vegetables. Put your sausage and bacon on the pancakes and then add your In contrast to grate grills (only), this top is an ideal cooking surface for fats and liquids. while you're at it, throw a few pieces of bread with some olive oil or butter on top, and set the table! It's safe to assume now you think I'm a ringer trying to sell you a The truth is that I'm Just a backyard chef who reluctantly bought this Camp Chef on a whim (and over my wife's objections), and after using it five times wondered where it had been all my life. My wife, too, says that she is pleasantly surprised by the product. " In the future, I'll buy a new one when this one wears out. If I bought three for what I paid for my last grill, I could have three. By the way, the picture above is of my Camp Chef, with a stainless steel cover that I picked up on Etsy from a craftsman. I like that!.
A brief history It has been a month since I bought my flat-top and I use it to cook 90% of my meals now. Having the grill installed on my balcony enables me to cook outside in most weather conditions while keeping my kitchen clean for the most part since it is connected to a natural gas source- This kit allows me to only use natural gas to fuel my flat top. I purchased the Natural Gas Kit Hose (NGKIT) and converted it. Note that once the conversion is made, you will not be able to convert it back to propane unless you purchase In order to ensure that sufficient gas will pass through to the flat top, all four holes needed to be drilled with a #45 drill bit. The process took me a couple of hours, and it will take you longer if you don't have the right tools at your disposal.
Learn how to cook in the real world There is no doubt that this flat top will change the way you cook. All four burners of the grill heat up evenly, so that the grill is very fast to heat up. Moreover, this grill includes traditional grill grates under the grill lid that make it a two-in-one cooktop. In only a few seconds, the unit heats up bread, tortillas, and buns. As a flat top, it's possible to cook for 50 people at a time at maximum capacity and accommodates a lot of food at once. In addition to allowing you to cook multiple items on the flat top at once, the flat top facilitates easy cleaning, as you won't have to clean a number of pans or skillets The cooktop should be used as the main cooktop by anyone who has the capability to Cleaning and maintenance A grease catcher such as this one would be an asset to any flat top. A pan on the bottom left side of the hood is where all the grease and oil gets trapped without anything leaking. To prevent clogging, I usually wipe the orifice of the grease catcher down with a paper towel. Other flat-plate fryers provide the same service. Generally, flat top grills have either grease catchers that drip onto the leg of the grill or they have them at the back of the grill, which is a bit inconvenient to access. Cleaning my grill after use involves using a stainless steel scraper and a stainless steel chopper to scrub it. The grease catcher is the place where I scrape all the grease down. In the event that a saucepan of saucy food or foods that stick to the grill flat surface, I scrape it off with water and send it to the grease catcher while the grill is still hot. As a final step, I applied a small amount of oil to the flat top and spread it all over with paper towels to preserve the seasoning. Cleaned from top to bottom Amount of time spent on uptime and re-core Three minutes is roughly enough time to season a dish. Conclusion If you have the capability to cook on this high-end stove, you can get serious about your cooking Having said that, I recommend doing so when you have the time. By eliminating grease and odor from your kitchen and home, you will be able to save both. As long as you get used to cooking on a flat top, you will be able to cook most items fairly quickly and easily. It can only cook sauces and bake items, but neither of these can it perform. This is a great meal to eat even if you don't eat greasy food. There is very little oil needed and it can be cooked with all kinds of oils. Almost every meal I've cooked on this flattop has come out well, and I have people asking why I cook so well on it. A skillet and pan will no longer need to be cleaned after use if you use this tool. A household should have at least one set of this essential cookware.
On YouTube, you can find anything you want. These two griddles have been compared many times. There are a number of improvements over the Blackstone, including better construction, a preseasoned cooktop, and easier assembly. It also does not suffer from the two flaws of that model The poor grease catch and the malformed support bracket for the LP tank are to blame. In addition, the material of the Blackstone is fragile. There is no better way to describe it than this. All Blackstone reviews I saw before I bought this one convinced me to buy it. I was leaning toward it since it has a lot more reviews. This product also features an optional grill beneath the griddle, as opposed to the Blackstone, which is only a griddle. With my only need being to grease a griddle, I figured I would obtain the most bang for my buck by choosing a product that offered purely griddle functionality. Unfortunately, this isn't the case. I really like how this thing looks, gets really hot, and cooks nicely. It has been less than a month since I got it. I must have used it at least ten times. I and my wife love how easy it is to clean. In our house, there were no grease splatters.
It took just about 1 minute for them to cook on each side. Next morning, there were 2 lbs of bacon all at once, followed by pancakes for the whole family all at once. Breakfast could not have been easier. I set it up in half an hour from the box easily. Griddle top appears to be made of heavy gauge steel, it appears to be 3/16" The bacon hasn't stuck to the surface so far, neither has the scrambled eggs. I covered the surface with peanut oil as soon as it was completed. The price is really worth it. In addition, I bought the official Camp Chef cover, which is shown in the background of the picture. It likes a good fit, as well as being of good quality.
