More Details on Our Top Picks
Camp Chef Deluxe BBQ Grill Box, Single Burner Accessory, Cooking Dimensions: 14 in. x 16 in, Black
This single-burner grill box offers a compact yet versatile solution for outdoor cooking, featuring a cast iron grate and a built-in temperature gauge. Unlike the large griddle, this accessory excels in offering precise heat control for grilling steaks, burgers, or vegetables. Its 14 x 16-inch cooking area balances portability with enough space for small groups. The durable construction ensures performance across camping, tailgating, or backyard use. However, because it’s designed as an add-on to a burner system, it’s less suitable as a standalone grill for large gatherings. Its compact size makes it easy to transport, but it limits cooking capacity compared to larger setups like the SG60. This pick makes the most sense for outdoor cooks who value control and flexibility over size.
Pros:- Compact and lightweight for easy transport
- Built-in temperature gauge for precise heat control
- Durable cast iron grate provides excellent searing
Cons:- Limited cooking space for larger groups
- Requires additional setup with a compatible burner system
Best for: Campers or tailgaters seeking a portable, precise grilling option for small groups
Not ideal for: Large families or parties needing big cooking surfaces or multiple burners
Our verdict“This grill box is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts who prioritize control and portability over cooking capacity.”
35PCS Griddle Accessories Kit for Blackstone and Camp Chef
This 35-piece stainless steel accessories set covers almost every grilling need, from spatulas to spice shakers. Compared to the more specialized accessories like the Camp Chef Carry Bag, this kit provides a comprehensive collection of tools that can elevate any outdoor cooking session. Its rust-proof, dishwasher-safe construction ensures durability and easy cleaning, but the sheer number of pieces might overwhelm casual grillers who only need basic tools. Additionally, some users might find the assortment excessive if they prefer minimal setups. The included storage bag and attractive packaging make it a popular gift option for grill enthusiasts. Overall, this set is best suited for those who want a ready-to-go, all-in-one toolkit for frequent outdoor cooking.
Pros:- Extensive set with all essential grilling tools
- Durable, rust-proof stainless steel construction
- Easy to clean and store with included bag and hooks
Cons:- Number of pieces may be excessive for casual use
- Tools may require thorough drying to prevent rust
Best for: Grilling enthusiasts seeking a complete accessory set or a gift for outdoor cooks
Not ideal for: Casual grillers who only need a few basic tools and prefer simpler setups
- Number of Pieces:35

Our verdict“This comprehensive kit is perfect for dedicated grillers who want a full set of durable accessories in one package.”
Camp Chef Carry Bag for Two-Burner Stoves
This heavy-duty carry bag provides a tailored fit for various Camp Chef two-burner models, offering robust weather resistance and ease of transport. Unlike the more general accessories like the griddle set, this bag focuses on protecting your stove during travel and storage. Its wrap-around handles and large zippers make carrying straightforward, but the lack of padding means it offers limited impact protection. It’s ideal for campers who want a durable, weather-resistant cover, but it’s not suitable for those seeking extra cushioning or for owners of stove models not listed in the compatibility list. This bag strikes a balance between affordability and protection, making it a practical choice for frequent outdoor cooks.
Pros:- Custom fit for multiple Camp Chef two-burner stove models
- Weather-resistant and durable construction
- Easy to carry with wrap-around handles
Cons:- No padding for impact protection
- Limited to specific stove models listed
Best for: Campers who need a reliable, weather-resistant way to transport and store their two-burner stove
Not ideal for: Users with stoves outside the listed models or those needing padded protection
- Fits Models:Multiple listed models including DB60D, EX170LW, and others

- Features:Weather resistant liner, wrap-around handles, inside pocket
Our verdict“This carry bag offers a durable, weatherproof solution for transporting your two-burner stove, ideal for frequent outdoor use.”
Camp Chef Patio Cover for 2 Burner Stoves
This patio cover provides essential weather protection for 2-burner Camp Chef stoves, featuring bungee cords and hooks for secure attachment. Unlike accessories focused on transport or cooking, this cover prioritizes safeguarding your equipment from rain, snow, or sun, extending the lifespan of your stove. Its adjustable fit makes it compatible with multiple models, but it offers no additional padding or impact resistance, making it less suitable for rough handling or transport. If you already own a stove and want to keep it protected during off-season storage or outdoor use, this cover delivers reliable weatherproofing without adding bulk. However, for those seeking a full protective case with padding, this may fall short.
Pros:- Weather-resistant material provides good outdoor protection
- Secure fit with bungee cords and hooks
- Compatible with multiple stove models
Cons:- Limited to specific stove models
- No size dimensions or weight info provided
Best for: Owners of Camp Chef two-burner stoves who want reliable weather protection in outdoor spaces

- Fits models:Multiple listed models including DL-60, DC-60LW, DH-280, and others
- Material:Weather-resistant
Our verdict“This weather-resistant patio cover is a solid choice for protecting your stove from the elements in outdoor settings.”
Camp Chef Medium Griddle Bag
This medium griddle bag excels at safeguarding your Camp Chef griddle during travel, especially compared to the bulky carry bags that lack weather resistance. Its weather-resistant liner ensures protection against the elements, making it ideal for outdoor trips. However, it is limited to specific models and offers no extra padding, which could be a concern for frequent, rough handling. Compared with the Camp Chef Carry Bag, this offers better weather protection but less padding. It’s a smart choice for those who prioritize weather resistance and easy portability over heavy-duty shock absorption. If you often transport your griddle in unpredictable weather, this bag provides a practical solution.
Specs: {“Fits Models”:”SG30, CGG16, SG14, FG20, MSG20″,”Weather-Resistant”:”Yes”,”Dimensions”:”17.5″ x 21.5″ x 1″”}Pros:- Fits multiple Camp Chef models for versatility
- Weather-resistant liner protects against moisture
- Easy to carry with wrap handle and EZ glide zipper
Cons:- Limited to specific griddle models listed
- No extra padding or shock absorption features
- Size may not accommodate larger griddles
Best for: Campers and outdoor enthusiasts needing weatherproof protection during transport.
Not ideal for: Users looking for heavy padding or impact protection for frequent, rough travel.
- Fits Models:SG30, CGG16, SG14, FG20, MSG20
- Weather-Resistant:Yes
- Dimensions:17.5″ x 21.5″ x 1″
Our verdict“This bag is perfect for those who need reliable weather protection and easy transport for compatible Camp Chef griddles.”
Camp Chef Folding Side Shelf Set for 2 Burners
This folding side shelf set significantly boosts your outdoor cooking surface, especially compared to fixed shelves that can limit flexibility. The shelves fold easily to double as storage lids, which is a clever space-saving feature. While compatible with several models like the DB-60 and Yukon, it requires some assembly and may need adjustments for a perfect fit. Unlike larger, permanent side tables, these foldable shelves offer quick setup and compact storage, ideal for those who value portability. For anyone wanting to maximize prep area without adding bulk, this set makes a lot of sense.
Specs: {“Compatibility”:”DB-60, Yukon, EX-60, SPG-60, EX170LW, EX280LW”,”Number of Shelves”:”2″,”Features”:”Folding shelves, doubles as storage lid”}Pros:- Increases preparation space on your grill

- Compatibility:DB-60, Yukon, EX-60, SPG-60, EX170LW, EX280LW
- Number of Shelves:2
- Features:Folding shelves, doubles as storage lid
Our verdict“Ideal for outdoor cooks wanting quick, portable shelf expansion that folds away easily.”
MixRBBQ Grease Cup with Aluminum Drip Pans Liner Set for Camp Chef Griddles, 10 Pack, 24 oz
This grease management set offers a practical way to keep your Camp Chef griddles and stoves clean, especially compared to using makeshift containers. The coated steel grease cup and recyclable aluminum liners are durable and eco-friendly, simplifying disposal after cooking. However, it requires checking compatibility, as liners are disposable and might not fit all models perfectly. Compared with the more permanent grease tray options, this set emphasizes convenience and disposability. It suits frequent outdoor cooks who want quick cleanup without sacrificing environmental considerations. If grease control is a priority, this set delivers on that front.
Specs: {“Grease cup dimensions”:”9 x 2.95 x 2.4 inches”,”Aluminum foil pans liners dimensions”:”8.4 x 3.15 x 2.2 inches”,”Capacity”:”24 oz”}Pros:- Fits a variety of Camp Chef griddles and stoves
- Made of durable, eco-friendly materials
- Easy to remove and clean
Cons:- Size compatibility must be checked before purchase
- Contains disposable liners, adding ongoing cost
- Limited to specific models
Best for: Camp chefs who want efficient, disposable grease collection for frequent use.
Not ideal for: Those seeking a permanent, heavy-duty grease management system or with large, custom setups.
- Grease cup dimensions:9 x 2.95 x 2.4 inches
- Aluminum liners dimensions:8.4 x 3.15 x 2.2 inches
- Capacity:24 oz
Our verdict“Great for outdoor cooks prioritizing quick, clean, and eco-conscious grease disposal.”
Flat Top Griddle for Camp Chef 2 Burner Stove, 14 x 32 inches
This sizable flat top griddle provides ample cooking space for a variety of foods, making it a standout for group outdoor meals. Its high sides and grease groove simplify cleanup, compared to smaller, less feature-rich griddles. Compatibility with several 14″ and 16″ Camp Chef stove models, like the EX60LW and TB90, broadens its appeal. While the large size demands that users check dimensions carefully, its durable, heat-resistant, non-stick surface is built for repeated outdoor use. This griddle is ideal for those who need serious surface area and are prepared for the maintenance that comes with a larger, metal cooking tool.
Specs: {“Dimensions”:”14 x 32 inches”,”Total Dimension”:”34″ x 15.3″ x 2.8″”,”Material”:”High-quality metal”,”Compatibility”:”Camp Chef 14″ and 16″ stove models”}Pros:- Large cooking surface accommodates multiple foods
- High sides and grease groove ease cleanup

Not ideal for: Cookers with limited storage space or those seeking lightweight, portable options.
- Dimensions:14 x 32 inches
- Total Dimension:34″ x 15.3″ x 2.8″
- Material:High-quality metal
- Compatibility:Camp Chef 14″ and 16″ stove models
Our verdict“This griddle suits outdoor hosts needing a huge cooking area, provided they can handle its size and upkeep.”
Camp Chef Reversible Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Griddle, 14 x 16 inches
This cast iron griddle offers versatility with its reversible design—flat on one side and ribbed on the other—making it suitable for everything from pancakes to grilling meats. Its even heat distribution and pre-seasoned surface stand out compared to non-seasoned or non-reversible options like the Flat Top Griddle. The heavy weight can be a drawback for those who need lightweight gear, and it requires ongoing seasoning and maintenance to prevent rust. Compared to the lighter, more modern materials, this cast iron provides durability and a classic touch, ideal for enthusiasts who don’t mind the extra weight. It’s best for those who want a long-lasting, multi-use pan for outdoor cooking.
Specs: {“Size”:”14 in. x 16 in.”,”Material”:”Cast Iron”,”Finish”:”Pre-Seasoned”,”Sides”:”Reversible, Ribbed and Flat”,”Handles”:”Molded Side Handles”}Pros:- Reversible with flat and ribbed sides for versatility

How We Picked
To determine the best camp chef accessories, I evaluated each product based on build quality, ease of use, compatibility, and value. Durability was a key factor, especially for accessories exposed to outdoor conditions. I also considered how well each item enhances the cooking experience or convenience—such as added versatility or portability. Accessories that offered multiple functions or improved stove performance ranked higher, while products with limited use or questionable durability were rated lower. The final rankings reflect a balance of performance, affordability, and user practicality, ensuring each pick serves a specific type of camper or outdoor chef.Factors to Consider When Choosing Camp Chef Accessories
Choosing the right camp chef accessories involves more than just picking the most popular items. Consider your typical camping style, storage space, and cooking preferences. A well-chosen accessory can elevate your outdoor cooking, but selecting the wrong one might lead to wasted money or frustration. Here are key factors to keep in mind before making a purchase.Durability and Material Quality
Outdoor accessories must withstand the elements, so prioritize products made from heavy-duty steel or cast iron. These materials resist rust and provide long-lasting performance. However, heavier options can be cumbersome to transport, so weigh durability against portability if you camp frequently or move often. Cheaper plastics or thin metals may save money upfront but tend to deteriorate faster, leading to higher replacement costs over time.
Compatibility and Size
Always double-check measurements and compatibility with your specific Camp Chef stove model. Accessories that don’t fit properly can cause safety issues or reduce cooking efficiency. Consider your typical cooking setup—large griddles suit family-style meals, while smaller accessories work better for solo trips. Proper sizing ensures you get the most out of your investment without wasted space or functionality.
Ease of Use and Setup
Some accessories, like folding shelves or carry bags, are designed for quick setup and takedown, which is ideal for frequent travelers. Others, such as heavy cast iron griddles, may require more effort to clean and season but offer superior cooking results. Think about how much time you want to spend on maintenance versus convenience, especially if you’ll be setting up and tearing down regularly.
Storage and Portability
If you often camp in different locations or hike into remote sites, portable accessories like foldable shelves, carry bags, or compact covers make life easier. Conversely, if you mostly car camp, larger, stationary accessories might be worth the extra effort for their added functionality. Balancing size and weight with your camping style is key to getting accessories that serve you well without becoming a burden.
Price and Value
Premium accessories often deliver longer-lasting performance and more features, but they come at a higher cost. Budget options can work for casual use, but they may need replacement sooner. Consider how often you’ll use the accessory and whether investing in higher quality makes sense for your needs. Sometimes, spending a bit more upfront can lead to better performance and savings over time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a regular griddle on my Camp Chef stove?
While some regular griddles may fit certain Camp Chef models, compatibility depends heavily on size and mounting options. To ensure safety and optimal performance, it’s best to select griddles explicitly designed for your stove model. Many accessories are made to fit specific dimensions, so always verify measurements before purchasing.
Are cast iron griddles better than steel for outdoor use?
Cast iron griddles excel in heat retention and durability, making them ideal for consistent, high-temperature cooking. They also develop a natural non-stick surface over time. However, they are heavier and require regular seasoning and maintenance. Steel griddles tend to be lighter and easier to clean but may not hold heat as evenly, making them better suited for quick, casual meals.
How important is a cover or storage bag for camp accessories?
A cover or storage bag significantly extends the lifespan of outdoor accessories by protecting them from weather, dirt, and damage. They are especially valuable if you frequently transport your gear or store it in a garage or shed. Without proper storage, accessories may rust, warp, or become difficult to clean, reducing their usefulness over time.
Should I prioritize accessories that add versatility or durability?
The choice depends on your camping style. If you camp often and want to maximize functionality, investing in versatile accessories makes sense. For occasional campers or those who prioritize longevity, durability might be more important to ensure your gear lasts through many trips. Ideally, select accessories that balance both qualities within your budget.
Is it worth paying extra for branded accessories?
Branded accessories often guarantee compatibility, quality, and better materials, which can save money and frustration in the long run. While generic options may be cheaper initially, they sometimes underperform or wear out faster. For critical components or high-use accessories, paying a bit more for trusted brands can lead to better results and peace of mind.
Conclusion
For frequent outdoor cooks and serious enthusiasts, the Camp Chef SG60 Deluxe Double Burner Steel Professional Griddle offers unmatched performance and durability, making it the best overall pick. Budget-conscious campers will appreciate the 35PCS Griddle Accessories Kit for its variety at a lower price point. Those seeking premium quality and longevity should consider the Camp Chef Reversible Cast Iron Griddle or the Flat Top Griddle for their superior heat retention. Beginners or casual campers might prioritize portable options like the Camp Chef Carry Bag or folding shelves. Ultimately, choosing accessories tailored to your camping style and needs will ensure your outdoor cooking experience is both enjoyable and reliable.
