2 owner reviews, fewer than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other grills, grill parts and burners, smokers and smoking gear, grill tools, outdoor griddles, outdoor kitchen appliances and grill covers we track in this category on price, popularity and size.

Overview
The Camp Chef FTG36CG42 runs on gas and features 4 burners in a freestanding configuration. At 72 inches wide and 39.5 inches tall, it occupies serious patio real estate. Camp Chef is a well-regarded brand in the outdoor cooking space, known for flat-top griddles, pellet grills, and camp cooking equipment, which gives this grill more brand credibility than many new listings at this price.
The black finish suits a range of patio setups. Cooking area, BTU output, and material specs are not available in the current data, so buyers should verify those figures on the Amazon listing before purchase. For a $599.99 grill, those numbers matter for comparing it against competition from Weber, Char-Broil, and Nexgrill.
With only 2 reviews averaging 4.5 stars, there is not enough buyer data to draw firm conclusions about long-term performance. The Camp Chef brand history helps offset that, but two reviews are still a very small sample size.

What buyers say
With only 2 reviews at 4.5 stars, the data set is too small for reliable conclusions. Camp Chef's brand reputation provides some confidence, but buyers should expect to do additional research before spending $599.99.
