Camp Chef Flat Top Grill 600 Review And Rating
Published On: 9/19/2018 Last Modified: 6/15/2025
Sometimes you need a big surface area to cook a lot of food at once. Designed to feed a crowd fast and leave ’em smiling, the 600 is the most popular size in Camp Chef’s Flat Top Grill line. Four 12,000 BTU stainless steel tube burners fired by dedicated piezoelectric ignition at each control knob make setting multiple cooking zones across this 600 square inch griddle a snap. Crank the burners up high on one side to create a hot direct sear zone for finishing, say, burgers. Then leave them low on the other side to create a moderate heat zone for cooking things like vegetables. Click here to learn all about the importance of 2-zone cooking.

About the Camp Chef Flat Top Grill 600
The Flat Top 600 was actually two cookers on four legs. You already know it’s a griddle. Breakfast is served below.
But underneath the griddle, The 600 had porcelain coated steel grill grates and heat tents over each burner. You could remove the griddle and Flat Top becames a 4-burner gas grill.
The Camp Chef Flat Top Grill 600 no longer has the hidden grill feature. Instead, Camp Chef now includes a lid.
Both side shelves provide work space and fold down, but the left shelf must be up to use the grease cup. Some owners complain the portal from the griddle to the cup clogs up easily, so smooth grease flow may require a little maintenance.
The open air cart has two plastic wheels on the right side. It also includes two storage shelves beneath the flat top. A convenient LP tank holder on the right side attaches the tank to the cart for easy movement of the entire unit.
If you need more capacity, the Flat Top 900 is a larger, 6-burner model.
