The Camp Chef Flat Top 600 (ASIN: B07X2VRFK5) is a premium 4-burner outdoor griddle available on Amazon.ca for $649 CAD. With four truly independent heat zones and a front-facing grease management system, it's built for cooks who want precision over raw square footage.
| Surface | 604 sq in seasoned steel cooking surface |

| Heat Zones | 4 independent zones |

"The independent zones are night and day versus my old Blackstone. I can run one zone at 500°F and the next at 250°F with minimal bleed. Perfect for complex cooks."

"The front grease drain is genius. I can check and empty it without reaching behind a hot grill. Such an obvious improvement over the rear-drain designs."

"Heavy duty and well built. This thing doesn't wobble or flex. Worth the extra money for the build quality alone."

"Came reasonably well pre-seasoned. Had it cooking non-stick within two cooks instead of the usual five or six with other steel griddles."

Price hard to justify vs Blackstone
Many buyers feel the Camp Chef FT600 costs significantly more but cooks on a smaller surface. Unless you specifically need the front grease drain or better zone separation, the Blackstone delivers more cooking real estate for less money.
Source: RedditSurface can warp at very high heat
A small number of reviewers report minor surface warping after sustained high-heat cooking sessions. While this doesn't affect functionality for most cooks, it can cause uneven pooling of oil on a warped surface.
Source: Amazon reviewerLegs not height-adjustable
The fixed-height legs mean the griddle surface may be too low for taller cooks who prefer to stand upright while cooking. Several users wish Camp Chef offered an adjustable leg option.
Source: Amazon reviewerAssembly can be confusing
Multiple buyers report the assembly manual has inconsistent diagrams, particularly for the leg locking mechanism. Plan for 90 minutes and read the full manual before starting.
Source: Amazon reviewerThe Camp Chef Flat Top 600 is the right choice for serious flat-top cooks who want superior heat zone control and a thoughtfully designed grease management system — and don't mind paying a premium for it. If you're comparing it directly to the Blackstone 36, the Camp Chef offers more precision cooking at the cost of cooking surface area and higher price. It's best suited for enthusiasts who cook varied multi-zone meals rather than buyers who just want the biggest flat surface for the money.
