I was gifted the E-series, unfortunately it couldn't keep up and basically just steamed burgers. I ended up with this griddle as a replacement. The intent was not for camping, but for the ability to put it away when not in use. My wife seems to think that 4 full size outdoor cooking devices is too much, smh. I used the griddle frequently for a little more than a month, packing it up and putting it away a couple of times. I like the griddle but the first issue is the griddle lock underneath the case. It can be tricky, as it spins freely and doesn't have a stopping position. The second thing missing is rubber feet on the underside when you set it down like a suitcase. It just rests on the venting fins. But the biggest issue is the poorly designed handle. After only a couple of uses, the handle snapped off, and it slammed to the ground. I like the griddle, but I can't imagine using it frequently in a camping setting.
