The Best Camping Griddle Gives You BTUs or Inches, Never Both

1. Blackstone 2364 12" x 14" Camping Griddle with Side Burner — Best Overall

The best-selling griddle on the page states its cooking surface to the inch and its heat not at all.

Key Specifications

Why We Recommend It

This is the griddle most buyers on this page are choosing, and its listing measures the plate, not the flame. The title gives the cooking surface, “12” x 14””, which is 168 square inches by our arithmetic. Nowhere in the title, bullets or spec table is there a BTU figure, a burner count for the griddle, or the size of propane cylinder it expects. The one fuel line is “Compatible with Propane-Chain units when used with Propane-Chain Adapter Hose sold separately”. If you want to know how hard the burner under that plate can push, the listing does not say, and you should ask before you buy.

The side burner is what sets it apart. “Side burner can hold up to an 8 inch diameter pot for additional cooking versatility”, and the listing’s own example is the camp breakfast: “Make breakfast on the griddle while warming up hot chocolate or soup on the side burner simultaneously.” No other dedicated griddle here has a second cooking zone. The camp stoves with griddle plates can do the same trick by lifting the plate off one burner, but then you lose half the griddle. Here you keep the whole 12 by 14 inch plate and still boil water. An 8-inch pot is a modest size, enough for coffee water or a pan of beans, not a stockpot.

The coating sets the rules at the campsite. The plate is “Ceramic titanium-coated”, sold for “durable non-stick performance for easy cooking and cleanup”. The same listing warns that the “Griddle plate not compatible with metal utensils or Blackstone orange scrub pads to maintain coating integrity”. So the steel smash-burger spatula in your camp box stays at home; pack silicone, nylon or wood instead. The upside is no seasoning, which matters on a trip where you do not want to oil and heat a bare steel plate before packing it wet. “Leveling feet” help on uneven ground, and a “Stowaway rear grease management system” catches fat at the back.

What to weigh. It is sold by Amazon.com. It ranks #6,452 overall and #16 in Stoves & Grills, the best overall rank on the page by a clear margin. The spec table gives a release date of 9 May 2025 and a 1-year warranty on most outdoor equipment that is not consumable. It is the lower-priced of the two Blackstones and weighs 1.0 pound less than the 2363. Buy it if the side burner earns its place in your breakfast; ask Blackstone, or check the manual, for the burner output and the cylinder fitting before you rely on it in cold weather.

Best for: Car campers who want a full griddle and a pot of coffee going at once, and will carry 25 pounds from the car.

2. GasOne GS-3400P-KIT Propane or Butane Gas Stove with Flat Top Griddle — Best Budget

Two fuels, a nonstick griddle and a carry case in one low-priced kit, from a listing that gives neither heat nor griddle size.

Key Specifications

Why We Recommend It

This is the only dual-fuel stove on the page. “The GasOne GS-3400P-KIT dual fuel camp stove with griddle operates on both butane (8 oz) and propane (16.4 oz)”, and “A propane converter regulator is included”. That flexibility is worth more at a campsite than it sounds. Slim 8 oz butane cartridges pack neatly, but butane boils at about 31°F, so in cold weather a butane cartridge loses pressure and the flame drops; that is general chemistry, not a test of this stove. The squat 16.4 oz propane cylinder copes far better with cold and is sold almost everywhere camping gear is. With this kit you can use whichever you can buy, or whichever suits the forecast.

It is silent on both halves of the griddle sum. The listing promises “a diecast aluminum griddle featuring a durable nonstick coating for even heat distribution and easy cleanup”, and gives no griddle dimensions. It describes “The adjustable heat dial” and gives no BTU figure. The outside of the kit is 14.0 by 11.2 by 4.87 inches, and the griddle has to sit inside that case, so it cannot be large; but how large, the page does not say. The coating is not named either, so you cannot tell from the listing whether it is PTFE, ceramic or something else. Treat the griddle as a breakfast-for-two plate until you can see its measurements.

The weight depends on which line you read. The bullet says “Compact and lightweight at only 5.56 lbs”. The spec field says 7.3634395508 pounds. The gap is 1.80 pounds by our arithmetic. One plausible explanation is that one figure includes the carrying case and converter and the other does not, but the listing does not say which. Either way, this is one of the two lightest complete stove-and-griddle kits with a stated weight, beaten only by its butane-only sibling, and well under a third of a Blackstone’s weight.

The safety system covers the cartridge, not the air. “The built-in pressure sensor cartridge ejection and gas flow cut-off mechanisms” shut off the gas when irregular pressure is detected, which addresses an overheated or faulty cartridge. Nothing on a stove can stop it making carbon monoxide in a closed space. The title calls this a “Tent Stove”, and the bullets suggest RVs and “your emergency preparedness kit”. Read those as places you might carry it, not places to light it. Cook outside, in the open, away from the tent, the camper and the house, including during a power cut.

What to weigh. It is sold by Amazon.com. It costs a little more than the butane-only GS-1000G-KIT, which shares the same case dimensions, griddle description, ignition and safety features; the step up buys the propane converter and the 1 Year Manufacturer warranty this listing states and the cheaper one does not. It ranks #24,108 overall and #8 in Camping Grills. It is the cheapest way here to cook on a griddle with either fuel, as long as you accept a plate whose size you will only learn when it arrives.

Best for: A camper or tailgater on a budget who wants one small stove that runs on whichever gas is on the shop shelf.

3. Coleman Cascade 3-in-1 Camp Stove, Portable Cooktop with Grill & Griddle — Best Camp Stove With Griddle

The one listing whose heat and fuel figures can be checked against each other, and it still does not size its griddle.

Key Specifications

Why We Recommend It

This is the only heat claim on the page you can check. The listing gives “24,000 total BTUs of cooking power” and, separately, “Up to 1 hour on high on one 16 oz. propane cylinder (sold separately)”. A pound of propane holds about 21,500 BTU of energy, a standard figure for the fuel. Burned at 24,000 BTU an hour, that is about 54 minutes by our arithmetic, close enough to the hour Coleman states that the two numbers describe the same stove. No other listing here gives a burn time, so no other output can be checked this way.

The griddle is cast iron, and its size is missing. “Removable cast-iron grill and griddle accessories help you cook up a variety of seriously good food”. The listing gives a cooktop size, “22 x 13.2 x 3.7”, labelled as both grill dimensions and cook top size, and says the stove “Fits 12-inch and 10-inch pan”. Neither tells you the griddle’s cooking area. The listing describes the grill and the griddle as separate removable accessories, which suggests each covers one burner rather than both, but that is our reading, not the listing’s. If you want a full-width griddle on this stove, a plate like the Coghlan’s, stated for two-burner stoves, is the add-on to consider.

Control is where Coleman spends its words. “Improved knob rotation for precise temperature and simmer control of 2 adjustable burners”, with “rotary ignition for quick, matchless lighting”. On a griddle, a low, steady setting is what stops pancakes burning while bacon finishes on the other side, so a stove that talks about simmer control is talking about the right thing. “TWO WIND GUARDS” shield the burners, which matters more outdoors than any BTU figure: wind strips heat from a flat plate quickly.

Cast iron is heavy and holds heat. As a general property of the material, a cast-iron griddle takes longer to heat than aluminium and stays hot longer once it gets there, which helps when a cold batch of food goes down. It also wants to be dried and oiled after washing, or it rusts; the listing calls the “Removable cast-iron pan support and aluminized steel cooktop” easy to clean but says nothing about seasoning. For the care routine, see our cast iron skillet guide. The whole stove weighs 15.8 pounds and packs to 25.0 by 14.7 by 7.7 inches, with a “Recessed carry handle”, room for the regulator and a nylon carry case for the accessories.

What to weigh. It is sold by Amazon.com and is the highest-priced product on the page. It ranks #15,320 overall and #28 in Camping Stoves. No warranty is stated. Against the Hike Crew it gives 4,000 more stated BTU, a stated burn time and a cast-iron griddle. What the premium buys is the most fully documented burner on the page and the brand behind it. You are not told how big the griddle is.

Best for: A family that wants a proper two-burner camp stove first and a griddle second, with heat figures it can trust.

4. Blackstone 2363 20" x 14" Camping Griddle — Largest Stated Surface

The biggest stated cooking surface here, in exactly the same box as the 2364, without the side burner.

Key Specifications

Why We Recommend It

This is the largest cooking surface stated on the page. “20” x 14”” is 280 square inches by our arithmetic, about 67% more than the 2364’s 168 and well ahead of the Coghlan’s 165. It is the only griddle here where you can say, before buying, that a pack of bacon, a row of pancakes and a few eggs will share the plate at once. For a group of four or more, that is the number that matters most, and the 2363 is the only listing that gives a big one.

Same box, different deal. The 2363 lists exactly the 2364’s outside dimensions, 21.0 by 17.0 by 5.83 inches, and weighs 26.0 pounds to the 2364’s 25.0. The extra 8 inches of plate take the space the side burner uses on the 2364. That is 112 more square inches of stated griddle, by our arithmetic, for one extra pound. What you give up is the pot burner: on this model, coffee water and soup need a second stove or a kettle on the griddle itself.

The heat question is bigger here. Like its sibling, the 2363 states no BTU figure, no burner count and no cylinder size. A 20-inch plate over burners of unknown output may run with a hotter middle and cooler ends, or with two even zones; the listing gives no way to tell, and no zone or burner description at all. If you plan to use one end for searing and the other for keeping food warm, ask how many burners sit under the plate and whether each has its own control.

What to weigh. It is sold by Amazon.com. It ranks #20,090 overall and #43 in Camping Stoves. Note that Amazon files the two Blackstones in different categories, Stoves & Grills for the 2364 and Camping Stoves for this one, so only the overall ranks compare, and there the 2364 is about three times better placed. The warranty is stated as “1 – year limited”. At 26.0 pounds it is the heaviest stated item on the page. Choose it over the 2364 if you feed more people than you boil water for.

Best for: A group of four or more who cook breakfast on one big plate and carry a separate kettle or stove for drinks.

5. Gospowor Portable 2 Burner Foldable Camping Stove with Griddle and Carrying Bag & Hose — Best-Ranked Camp Stove

The best-ranked camping stove on the page, at the lowest stated heat, with a griddle its bullets never describe.

Key Specifications

Why We Recommend It

By rank, this is the camping stove buyers on this page are choosing. It sits at #19 in Camping Stoves, ahead of the Coleman at #28, the Blackstone 2363 at #43, the GasOne GS-1000G-KIT at #52, the Bonnlo at #88 and the Hike Crew at #363. Overall it is #10,129, second only to the Blackstone 2364. Rank measures recent sales, not cooking, but it is plain that a low-priced two-burner with a griddle in the box is what a lot of shoppers want.

It states the least heat of the four that state any. “Delivering up to 8,600 BTU combined output, the two burners feature smooth-turn knobs for accurate flame adjustment.” That is about 36% of the Coleman’s 24,000 and 43% of the Hike Crew’s 20,000, both our arithmetic. If it splits evenly, which the listing does not say, each burner gives about 4,300 BTU. The upside is fuel: at full output on both burners, a 1 lb cylinder holding about 21,500 BTU would last about 2.5 hours by our arithmetic, more than twice the Coleman’s stated hour. The trade-off on a griddle is that less heat has to cover the same plate, so expect it to work best at gentle breakfast temperatures and in sheltered spots; the listing mentions no windscreen.

The griddle is in the title and nowhere else. The title says “Foldable Camping Stove with Griddle” and the size field “2 Burner+ Griddle +Hose”. All five bullets talk about burners, ignition, knobs, folding and stainless steel. None gives the griddle’s material, coating, size or whether it spans both burners. What you can check is pan fit: “Compatible with cookware up to 10 inches”. If the griddle matters, ask the seller for its dimensions before you order.

What to weigh. It sells at the same price as the GasOne GS-3400P-KIT, but through a third party, GOSPOWOR-US, rather than Amazon.com, and with no warranty stated. It gives you a stated heat figure and two burners where the GasOne gives one dial and no figure; the GasOne gives you two fuels, a described griddle and a warranty. Choose this one if two pots at once matter more than knowing what the griddle is.

Best for: A budget camper who wants two burners for pots first, and will treat the included griddle as a bonus.

6. GasOne GS-1000G-KIT Butane Gas Stove with Flat Top Griddle — Lightest Stove Kit

The cheapest way onto a griddle on this page, on butane alone.

Key Specifications

Why We Recommend It

This is the lowest-priced burner and griddle together on the page. It is the GS-3400P-KIT’s butane-only sibling: the same 14.0 by 11.2 by 4.87 inch case, the same “diecast aluminum griddle featuring a durable nonstick coating”, the same piezo ignition and heat dial, the same pressure-sensor safety system. The saving over its sibling buys you out of the propane converter regulator and, on the evidence of the two listings, the stated warranty.

Butane-only is a real limit outdoors. “The GasOne GS-1000G-KIT camp stove with griddle operates on butane (8 oz)”, and nothing else. Butane boils at about 31°F, so near or below freezing a cartridge struggles to vaporise and the flame weakens; on a cold morning at altitude that can mean a griddle that never really gets hot. That is a property of the fuel, not a finding about this stove. For summer car camping, picnics and tailgates, it matters much less, and 8 oz cartridges are easy to pack.

Read the title’s uses carefully. It is sold as a “Butane Grill Tent Stove” for “Camping, Kitchen”, and the bullet suggests it for “RVs, tailgating, or as part of your emergency preparedness kit”. A butane flame in a tent or a closed camper can build carbon monoxide to dangerous levels quickly, and the risk is the same in a house during a power cut. The cartridge-ejection system guards against pressure problems, not fumes. Use it outdoors in open air, and keep it away from the tent walls and anything that can catch.

What to weigh. It is sold by Amazon.com. It ranks #24,932 overall and #52 in Camping Stoves, close behind its dual-fuel sibling’s #24,108 overall. No warranty is stated on this listing, where the GS-3400P-KIT states “1 Year Manufacturer”. As with that kit, there is no BTU figure and no griddle size. Buy it for warm-weather trips where butane cartridges are easy to find; if you camp in spring or autumn, the small step up to propane capability is the better spend.

Best for: Summer campers and tailgaters who want the cheapest burner-and-griddle kit and will only cook in mild weather.

7. Hike Crew 2-in-1 Gas Camping Stove and Griddle, 20,000 BTU 2 Burner Propane — Best Wind Protection

20,000 BTU and a three-sided windshield, from a listing that disagrees with itself about its own size.

Key Specifications

Why We Recommend It

This is the second-hottest credible stove on the page, with the best answer to wind. “Powerful Propane-Powered 2-in-1 Griddle Features a 20,000 BTU 2 Burner Cooktop & Removeable Griddle”. That is 4,000 BTU short of the Coleman and more than twice the Gospowor. On a 1 lb cylinder of about 21,500 BTU, both burners flat out would run about 65 minutes by our arithmetic; the listing gives no burn time of its own. If it splits evenly, which is not stated, each burner gives about 10,000 BTU.

The windshield is the feature to buy it for. “Cool Convertible Design Provides Chefs with Plenty of Protection Against the Elements Including a 3-Sided Windshield & Sturdy Folding Support Legs”. Wind is the biggest thief of heat from a camp griddle: a flat plate sheds heat from its whole surface, and a gust can blow a low flame out. The Coleman has two wind guards; the Hike Crew’s lid wraps three sides. The raised legs let you set it on a “Picnic Table, Ground or Other Surface”, which helps where tables are scarce.

The griddle is described but not measured. “VERSATILE CERAMIC GRIDDLE SURFACE”, listed for French toast, home fries, quesadillas and more, and “Simply Lift from Burner for Stress-Free Cleaning”. No dimensions. The burners take “any Skillet, Pan or Pot Up to 8””, the same pot limit as the Blackstone 2364’s side burner and smaller than the Gospowor’s 10 inches and the Coleman’s 12. With the griddle lifted off, it is a two-burner stove; with it on, the listing does not say whether it covers one burner or both.

The size depends on which part of the listing you read. The bullet says it “Breaks Down to the Size of a Slim 24”x13”x5” Briefcase”. The spec table says 12.58 by 12.6 by 5.0 inches. Those cannot both be the packed stove: the bullet’s length is nearly double. The weight is given only as “Under 15 Pounds”, in a bullet that also mentions “Rugged Steel Construction”. Plan your car space around the larger 24-inch figure until the seller confirms otherwise.

What to weigh. It is sold by Amazon.com. It ranks #139,175 overall and #363 in Camping Stoves, second-lowest overall on the page, so few buyers are choosing it. No warranty is stated. It costs less than the Coleman for 4,000 fewer stated BTU, and it offers better-described wind protection; the Coleman offers a checked burn time and a cast-iron griddle. If you cook on exposed sites, beaches or open fields, the windshield tips it.

Best for: Campers on windy, exposed pitches who want two burners and a griddle that stay lit.

8. Coghlan’s Camp Griddle, Lightweight Aluminum, 16.5 x 10" size, PFAS-Free Ceramic — Best Griddle Plate

Under 2 pounds of PFAS-free coated aluminium with almost the same stated surface as the Blackstone 2364.

Key Specifications

Why We Recommend It

If you already own a two-burner camp stove, this plate gives you nearly a Blackstone’s griddle area at a fraction of the weight. “16.5 x 10”” is 165 square inches by our arithmetic, 3 square inches short of the Blackstone 2364’s 168. It weighs 1.98 pounds against 25.0, the most stated cooking area per pound on the page by our arithmetic. The catch is obvious: there is no burner, no fuel and no stand, so what you are really buying is this plate plus whatever stove you put under it.

The fit claim is general, so measure your stove. “Designed to fit over most two-burner camp stoves, this griddle makes whipping up a big breakfast outdoors easy and fun.” The listing names no stove models and gives no burner spacing. The plate is 16.5 inches long; check that your stove’s pan supports span at least that, that both burners sit under it, and that its wind guards leave room. For scale, the Coleman Cascade gives its cooktop as 22 by 13.2, so a 16.5 by 10 plate would sit inside that footprint by the numbers; whether it rests securely on the Coleman’s supports is not something either listing says.

The coating is the selling point and the limit. “The PFAS-Free ceramic coating means your food slides right off, making clean-up at the campsite a breeze.” It is the only coating on the page described as PFAS-free. The aluminium is “heavy-gauge” and the listing says it “heats up fast and holds heat well”. One bullet mentions “searing steak over the campfire”, but the listing states no maximum temperature for the coating. Open fires are uncontrolled and can run far hotter than a stove; as a general rule, coated cookware lasts longer over a steady burner. For live fire, the uncoated GSI is the plate designed for it.

It is the lightest item on the page by a distance. At 1.98 pounds and 1 inch tall, it slides in beside a stove in its case or flat in a car boot. The listing mentions no handles, no grease channel and no pour-off spout, so fat has nowhere to go but the edges; keep a scraper and paper towel to hand. Nothing in the listing says whether metal utensils are allowed on the ceramic coating; plan on wood or silicone to be safe.

What to weigh. It is sold by Amazon.com. It ranks #69,021 overall and #97 in Griddles. No warranty is stated. Choose it if you have a two-burner stove already, or are buying one without a griddle, and want a big, light, low-cost plate; skip it if you do not want to depend on a second piece of kit.

Best for: Owners of a two-burner camp stove who want a full-width griddle that weighs under 2 pounds.

9. GSI Outdoors Carbon Steel Griddle, Large, Camp Cooking Griddle — Best for Campfire

The only uncoated plate here, built for campfires as well as stoves, and the hardest product on the page to buy.

Key Specifications

Why We Recommend It

This is the one griddle on the page meant for an open fire. “Perfect for use over campfires or stoves”, and built from “Heavy-gauge steel construction for even heating” with an “Ultra-hard seasonable surface”. There is no coating to burn off, so the uncontrolled heat of a fire is not a threat to the surface the way it is to ceramic or nonstick. Seasoning is the deal you make for that: as with any carbon steel, it builds a non-stick layer from oil and heat, and it rusts if you put it away wet. For how carbon steel compares with other griddle metals, see our carbon steel griddle guide.

Its size is given, but not its cooking surface. The listing says 19.3 by 10.6 by 1.5 inches, under the labels height, length and width. With “Folding handles for compact storage” and “dual pour-off spouts” on the same plate, those overall figures may include the handles or the spouts; the listing does not say. If they describe the flat surface, it would be the second-largest plate on the page after the Blackstone 2363, but that is a big if, so we have left it out of the surface comparison.

The spouts deal with the grease the other plates ignore. The Coghlan’s mentions no grease handling at all. Two pour-off spouts let you tip fat off into a tin rather than leave it to run over the edge into a fire, which can flare, or onto a stove. That is a practical detail for bacon and burgers, and the reason a steel plate with a lip suits fatty food over flame.

What to weigh. It is sold by GSI outdoors rather than Amazon.com, and listed as in stock but scarce at capture. It ranks #465,626 overall and #495 in Griddles, the lowest rank on the page by far, so stock may come and go. No warranty is stated. It costs more than the Coghlan’s. Buy it if your camp cooking happens over a fire grate or a stove you trust with high heat, and you are willing to season and oil a steel plate.

Best for: Campers who cook over a fire grate and want a steel plate that will take the heat and improve with use.

10. Bonnlo 2-in-1 Propane Stove and Griddle with Storage Shelf and Portable Wheels — Biggest Stated Output

A wheeled two-burner cart that claims 150,000 BTU, more than six times the Coleman, and gives no weight.

Key Specifications

Why We Recommend It

This is a backyard cooking station that turns up in camping searches. It is 38.4 inches tall, 38.4 long and 19.3 wide, with “two rolling wheels on one side”, “extra-wide side tables and tiered shelving”. The listing names “outdoor spaces, patios, and backyards” first, and a “camping trip” among the uses. By our arithmetic its box is about 28,459 cubic inches, more than thirteen times the Blackstone briefcase. It does not fold, and it gives no weight. For a trailer site or a group pitch with a truck, it might work; for anything you carry, it will not.

The heat claim does not hold together. “Equipped with two burners delivering a total output of 150,000 BTU”. That is 6.25 times the Coleman’s 24,000 and about 17 times the Gospowor’s 8,600, our arithmetic. At that rate, a 1 lb propane cylinder of about 21,500 BTU would last under 9 minutes. The listing does not state the fuel connection, so it may expect a larger tank, but it does not say so either. Outdoor burners of that class exist for big pots and frying, but we cannot square the figure with anything else on this page. Treat it as a claim to confirm with the seller before you buy for it.

The griddle is lidded and unmeasured. “The griddle comes with a full-coverage lid, ensuring even heat distribution”, and “The independent temperature zones allow you to cook different dishes at varying heat levels simultaneously”. That suggests one burner under the griddle and one open for a pot, though the listing calls it a “2-in-1 propane stove and gas griddle” without showing the split. No griddle dimensions are given. There is “automatic ignition” and a “pull-out oil collecting box” for grease.

What to weigh. It is sold by Bonnlo rather than Amazon.com, with no warranty stated. It ranks #37,422 overall and #88 in Camping Stoves. Of the four biggest burner units here, the two Blackstones, the Coleman and this cart, it is the only one with wheels and tables, and the only one with no stated weight or packed size. Buy it as a patio station that can travel by truck; do not buy it as a camping griddle you plan to lift. For dedicated patio griddles, see our propane griddle roundup.

Best for: A group that cooks at a fixed site with a truck, and wants tables and shelves more than portability.
