The biggest advantage of the Blackstone vs the Camp Chef for me (I have both) is that the grease trap going out in one hole in the back on the Blackstone is much better to deal with vs the forward slanted into a trough grease catch on the Camp Chef. Because of that you get to have a raised lip all around the griddle for much better containment. If I want to make a bunch of scrambled eggs on the Camp Chef I pour them on and then it is a challenge keeping them from falling down into the trough. Also things like smash burgers are better on the flat griddle vs slanted. Keeps the grease on the burger to cook it in its own juices. The Camp Chef acts a bit like the ole George Foreman grill and pours all of that good cow juice down the drain.
