Magma Crossover Firebox/Stove with Griddle Top. Temperature Test

[@slambonie]

I took the Grill to the beach on a camping trip 8/14/2022. I was not impressed at all with the Griddle attachment. 70 degrees in the morning and it took me about 1 full hour to cook Bacon, Hash Browns, and eggs for 2 people. Way too long! The griddle does not get hot enough (Waited 10-15 minutes until grill was 325-350) when it does get to a decent temp and you put food on... The temperature drops (200-225) so much and the recovery time is way too long. I had fire box on 100% on high. The next day/morning I used the PLANCHA attachment and it worked 100 times better. I may never use the Griddle going forward. I may have wasted my money on this attachment. The burner/firebox and BBQ attachment and Plancha attachment all are great!!! They missed with the Griddle attachment in my opinion. I may sell it on Ebay. I will never use it. It's not worth the propane or time to wait for this attachment to work properly.

Thanks for the review! I almost got one second hand at a good deal. They're cool looking, too bad. It seemed too good to be true that something can do so many things well!

I noticed during the whole video you have it on low fire. Turn up the slide lever on the left of the knob up to high fire and it'll heat up a lot faster as well as get hotter.

Ha, ha. That is not low fire. The firebox has a altitude adjustment. I'm close to sea level so I have it turned down. If I were in the mountains I would raise the lever higher. I can tell you that it is not marked or do I know where the lever is suppose to he at, at a specific altitude. It's trial by error thing.

Thank you for the information. I was looking at this set, but I’m thinking for the price vs……it might not fit the bill.
