Our take on the Camp Chef Gridiron 36 Flat Top Griddle Grill

The Camp Chef Gridiron 36 is a freestanding propane flat top griddle with a 36 x 17 inch preseasoned cold rolled steel surface and four burners putting out 48,000 BTUs. It stands out for its magnetic accessory rail, folding side shelves and dual-walled lid, which make it a more feature-rich alternative to basic two-burner griddles. It suits backyard cooks feeding groups who want a full-size flat top for burgers, breakfasts and stir-fries. Owners like the even heat and room for 28 burgers, but some report uneven seasoning and a heavy, bulky frame.

Questions and answers

How many burgers can the Gridiron 36 cook at once?
Camp Chef rates it for about 28 burgers on the 36 x 17 inch surface. In practice that means a full batch for a large party.
Does it come with a propane tank?
No. It runs on propane but the tank and hose are not included, so you need your own tank and a compatible regulator hose.
How hard is it to move?
It weighs 134 lbs and is freestanding rather than built-in. It has wheels, but most owners keep it in one spot and move it with help.
Do I need to season the griddle top?
It ships preseasoned, but owners recommend a few extra oil coats before first use and regular oiling after cleaning to keep it from rusting.
How does it compare with a Blackstone 36?
Both are four-burner 36 inch flat tops. The Gridiron adds a magnetic accessory rail and folding shelves, while the Blackstone line has a wider range of accessories and models.
What accessories work with the magnetic rail?
Camp Chef sells magnetic-compatible tools and bins for the rail. Standard metal spatulas and scraper sets also work on the griddle surface.
