Comparing camp Chef 2 burner to 1 burner (Fulltime RVing)

[@SomeplaceOrAnother]

Bummer the single burner is missing some of the double burner features.

[@daveanddianethrowingcautio5707]

They could really make the purchase a lot better by adding just a few dollars worth of accessories right out of the box.

[@rventures1021]

Great review! The single burner is probably way more convenient. We have the double burner coleman, maybe a downgrade is in the cards.

[@daveanddianethrowingcautio5707]

It certainly has been easier to deal with, not perfect but not bad. Thanks for the support.

Do you find the single burner ok? Does it get hot enough during windy days? I have a 4 burner grill but its stationary, If i don't use 2 burners minimum it doesn't heat good during very windy days. Is your griddle separate from your grill? Thanks Dave, we hope you have something good planned for the weekend 👍🏻 😀

[@daveanddianethrowingcautio5707]

On windy days I find myself strategically placing lawn chair to block wind to help. And yes, the griddle and BBQ box are interchangeable which is the main reason I like Camp Chef. And we DO have something VERY special planned but you will have to wait for the video. Actually, a series of videos. It's huge!!

[@adventureswithmm3159]

​@@daveanddianethrowingcautio5707I am waiting patiently Dave 😊

[@TheJourneyAwaits]

I know what you mean about moving the grill back and forth. Single burner definitely for moving. Those get heavier the older I get. We had a blackstone 17” we sold it this past summer. 👍

[@daveanddianethrowingcautio5707]

The 17 and 22" Blackstones are very popular.

My brother in law purchased the small Blackstone griddle and likes it. Before the Blackstone he had the Coleman tailgater grill. He like the Blackstone. He doesn’t do much grilling.

[@daveanddianethrowingcautio5707]

Good info thanks. We grill a lot, at least a few times per week. I wish Camp Chef made the VersaTop 2 burner with a griddle that had a lid that closed. I think I would make another switch because of the interchangeability.

[@danpatnode6783]

It offers less power but the versatop 250 is even smaller/lighter and would work with your current camp chef appliances. You would just need a table at your locations. Also note that camp chef has different classes. Each class offers enhanced features (including starters and dials) and they only make single burners in the lowest class (explorer). So you changed size and class at the same time. The versatops seem to be middle class and offer closer to Pro model features.

[@daveanddianethrowingcautio5707]

Thanks for that input Dan.

[@WildBlueWanderers]

I’ve been looking at the two burner Camp Chef, I have a single burner camp chef griddle already on a camp chef pellet grill/smoker so I could use it on the Camp Chef2 burner. Thanks for your review and opinions!

[@daveanddianethrowingcautio5707]

Glad you enjoyed it. Maybe if we had a different way to stow it we might have stuck with the two burner.

[@joeandjoanne]

good vid, thank you. I just got the single burner, haven't used it yet, but concerned about grease just dripping through to floor of my deck. They don't have a grease cup?? Any suggestions, or should I return my new single burner? Thanks

[@daveanddianethrowingcautio5707]

There are a number of grease catchers available that can hook on the single burner. At about 4.25 into the video you can see the grease catcher I got and it works pretty well.

[@joeandjoanne]

@@daveanddianethrowingcautio5707 , thx for quick response. Sorry for my inaccurate description. I have the Camp Chef Delux BBq Grill box, that is the one that I'm concerned about. If I cook some chicken on that thing I'm expecting grease all over the place. I've read some complaints and I'm looking for ideas. Thanks again, Joe

[@daveanddianethrowingcautio5707]

No worries!! I always lay some sort of matt under the BBQ but with that said I have never had an issue with grease or anything coming out of the BBQ box. However I would still suggest some sort of matt because now that I told you that the very 1st time you used yours something would come out of the bottom LOL!!!

[@imolar1]

Great detailed info! Do you have a propane connection at the coach and if so, do you ever use that for your portable grills and griddles? Thanks!

[@daveanddianethrowingcautio5707]

We do not have a propane connection on the rig for the BBQ. We did that on one rig and realized I normally like to set the BBQ up away from the RV and the hose didn't reach OR I didn't like having the hose laying out so using the bottle gives me more flexibility. Thats just what works for us.

[@imolar1]

Makes complete sense. Thanks!

[@enroutewithchuckandcherie]

We do like us some smoked meats but hear ya Blackstone should come out with the box! We would jump on it too hah!!

[@daveanddianethrowingcautio5707]

Costco had a good deal on the 22" Blackstone the other day and we about pulled the trigger.

[@kathycampbell8000]

I’m with Diane, I don’t like smoke meat either 🤢 good luck on finding a new grill 😁👍

[@daveanddianethrowingcautio5707]

Oh my gosh, you and Diane,,, I don't know whats wrong with the two of you LOL!!!!

[@colt10mmsecurity68]

I prefer both single burner and the double burner. I don’t like the griddle for those camp,chef’s. I instead use a high wall LARGE cast iron skillet. They’re easier to haul around and clean in my opinion.

[@daveanddianethrowingcautio5707]

I've been thinking about finding a good old cast iron skillet and refinishing it to use.

[@rhinomite5203]

You need the pizza oven, game changer.. also they make it for almost ever camp chef stove ever made, just sayin y’all

[@rhinomite5203]

They also make a table top 16” 2 burner that might make you more satisfied but it doesn’t have long legs, good luck

[@daveanddianethrowingcautio5707]

I imagine one will be in our future at some point.
