How It Compares
vs. Blackstone 17" (e.g., model 1654)
Advantages
Disadvantages
Choose the 17" model for ultra‑lightweight, single‑person outings; opt for the 1666 when you need more surface area and power.
vs. Blackstone 36" (e.g., model 1825)
Advantages
Disadvantages
Select the 36" model for permanent outdoor kitchens or large home gatherings; the 1666 is better for portable, mid‑size group cooking.
vs. Camp Chef flat‑top grills
Advantages
Disadvantages
Camp Chef flat‑tops are suited for users prioritizing cooking area over portability, whereas the Blackstone 1666 offers a balanced mix of size, power, and transportability.
