Camp Chef BB100L Sport Grill Box, Black

In the BOX:

Cast Iron Grate preaseasoned
Dome top lid with vent
Lid with handle on top

Fits Camp Chef Explorer Series EX-60LW 2-Burner Modular Cooking System, Black stove

Also Fits Expedition 3X Triple Burner Stove

NOTES from the Field:

PROS:
Cooking on cast iron is always better.
Can use as a smoker by putting pellets or wood chips under the grate
Grease burns away for easy clean up
Can use two side by side for a large "tailgate" cooking surface.
Lid is completely removable.

CONS:
Cast iron grates need to be oiled and kept up (I use Camp Chef CSC-8 6-Ounce Bottle of Cast-Iron Conditioner to keep it black.
If you fill the grill with higher fat meats it will drip a little since it cant burn off all the grease.
(this is only a problem if you are not camping or have it on a deck) Solution pad or cardboard for huge burger cookouts.
Sometimes I wish it had a hinged lid because when you take it off "where do you put it?" the step up model has a lid and deluxe handle.
works only on a camp chef stove.

Overall, the best accessory for your Camp Chef Stove....
the Griddle may be a close second.

If you cook as much as me you need products that can stand up to frequent use, from the field to the grill

Chef Kurt

This grill box is perfect for patio and camp grilling/cooking. I would recommend this product.

This is a great grill. It turns any* camp chef stove into a grill. (* They don't recommend using it with any of their high-pressure burners. I asked.)

And not just any grill, but a real grill that produces great flavor. I was a die-hard charcoal user, but this grill has won me over. The diffuser plate does indeed burn off drippings, and this combined with the nice iron grill surface makes food that's darn close to charcoal-cooked.

This and a Camp Chef Explorer two-burner stove was our tent camping setup for a few years now, and I just love it. I recently purchased a single-burner stove just to run this grill box, and it performs just as well.

Pros:

- It heats up fast, and is able to maintain high heat easily. Good searing capability.

- Great flavor

- High-quality

- reasonably portable along with a single-burner stove

- Surprising amount of room on the grill and within the tall lid.

- The carrying case they sell for it is a must.

Now for the cons:

- The lid is not hinged, so you need a place to put it while you tend to the food. If you have a single-burner stove, don't buy their lid holder, as it has nowhere to mount. It only works for a two-burner.

- You can overwhelm the drip plate with grease, and what can't burn off quickly WILL drip on the ground. So unless you have some method of ground cover, don't put this on your deck or patio.

- It has no handles on the sides, so lifting it off the stove is a careful effort.

- The camp chef stoves can sometimes be frustrating in the wind. Watch that your burner doesn't blow out.


In summary, for my camping use, family of four, it's perfect as long as there's a table nearby to place the lid on. Wish there was a drip-free version that I could use at home on my deck.

This is great for quick grilling for two to four people (maybe 6 but crowded).
Didn't put 5 stars because there are two things that I don't like:
1) it takes a lot to warm up.
2) if you don't use the lid it takes a while to cook.

Other than that is very practical and an excellent complement for my single burner stove.
I recommend.

Buy a grill thermometer, it's very useful with this grill (is like a disc that goes directly in the grill).

Amazon as always delivered very in a excellent package and on time!

Durable and virtually non stick. Some little maintenance required (which I don't mind) to make sure it is clean from remnant of food (you can burn the "scraps" and use a stiff brush to brush them off/through the grill. Coat it from time to time with the special "butter" made from the cast iron.

This works pretty well for camping for a few people but also as an alternate BBQ at home when we ran out of room on our home BBQ it worked great to do hotdogs or corn. Just keep up on the seasoning of the cast iron grate. Recommended a strap to tie the who thing together to make it more portable.

We picked up the grill box to turn our Camp Chef 2-burner stove into a barbecue when grilling over a fire wasn't possible. This accessory is worth every penny! We used it twice this weekend on our camping trip - once to make pork tenderloin and once to grill chicken. We were thrilled with the outcome. I was worried that the small grill box wouldn't be big enough, but we fed 8 people both nights with room to spare. I should point out that it's a little hard to clean, but I'm sure I'll get better at that as I get used to it. I'm very pleased with this purchase. I'm going to pick up the carrying case though because it is a little bulky.

I have mixed feelings about the Grill Box. It does cook good if you allow it to get hot but it seems cheaply built and the lid does not fit correctly (watch the guy in the first review video readjust the lid). After a few uses the black finish (Porcelain?) on the "Defuser" started to crack.

Don't even think of putting wood chips under the grill as was suggested, even after soaking the chips in water by the time the grill was ready to cook on the wood chips started burning
