LP GAS (LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM GAS)
Can I use my griddle indoors? No. All of our products have been safety tested and approved
to outdoor use only.
My griddle is rocking, can I level it? Using the provided wrench, level your griddle by adjusting the
bolts on the back of your griddle. You want the grease to freely
run toward the front of the grill where the grease management
system is located.
What is the griddle made of and is it
pre-seasoned?
The griddle is made from a cold-rolled steel that has an all-
natural seasoning that is baked on.
Do I need to pre-heat my griddle? Yes. For the best performance pre-heat your griddle to medium
or medium-low for approximately 5 minutes. This should
produce a griddle surface temperature of 350 – 400F. Then
turned heat to medium low to low for 2-3 minutes for uniform
heat and you are ready to cook.
Do I have to light the burners in any
certain order?
No. You can turn on all the burners and then light the far burner
and the rest will light or they can light each of them one at a time.
Do I need to season my griddle
before the first use?
No, it is pre-seasoned and ready to use right out of the box.
Do I need to clean my griddle after
every use?
Yes. Be sure to allow for your griddle to cool completely. Wash with
hot water and or a mild dish soap, rinse, and store in a dry place.
Do I need to re-season my griddle
after use?
Yes. Re-seasoning your griddle is key. Slowly warm up your
griddle. Apply a thin coat of Camp Chef Conditioner or olive
oil. Make sure you cover all corners and crevasses. Wipe any
excess oil off, turn off your burner, and store in a dry place once
completely cooled.
Is this a nonstick surface, like
Teflon?
All Camp Chef griddles come with a True Seasoned non-stick,
ready to cook baked on layer. It will have a surface similar to our
cast iron skillets. The more you cook and care for it, the longer
the life of your griddle.
Why are there black flaky pieces
peeling off?
The black flaky pieces coming off, is just baked-on seasoning.
This can happen as you use the grill.
Is there any way to prevent rust on
my griddle?
Yes. Be sure to re-season your griddle/cast iron after every use
by using the Camp Chef Conditioner.
What does it mean if my food tastes
rusty or metallic?
This means is a sign of improper or inadequate seasoning. If
this occurs, wash thoroughly and re-season.
Why did my griddle warp? The only reason it would warp is if there was an uneven heat
across the griddle. This can happen a few different ways. One
way would be to heat the griddle up to quickly, by turning the
burners on above medium heat setting. We do suggest using
the griddles on medium heat or lower and having all the burners
on at the same time, and not only heating part of the griddle.
Also, if your griddle is already hot and you place frozen or cold
food only on one side of the griddle, it will shock the steel
causing warping.
