Ya do realize that floor/display units are often subjected to about the worst possible torture tests known to man (and children)... no tellin' how many 40-60 pounders have swung on those.I haven't been left impressed with the Blackstone after playing with them multiple times for several years at WalMart - knobs feel cheap and loose even new in the store, can't imagine how bad they'll be in a few months or a year.

Seems to me the Camp Chef is better built. I haven't been left impressed with the Blackstone after playing with them multiple times for several years at WalMart - knobs feel cheap and loose even new in the store, can't imagine how bad they'll be in a few months or a year. The cabinets/carts seem wobbly and overall I think they seem pretty lightweight and flimsy, with the exception of the cooktop itself. I've read some reviews on a BBQ site I frequent where these discussions come up frequently (the Blackstone is very popular there) and it sounds like the Camp Chef is overall better built - though it IS more expensive.
I want to find a place I can play with the Camp Chef before I drop cash on it, though from what I've read, they occ go on sale about as cheap as the Blackstone.
Are the knobs wobbly?I've had my blackstone for about four years and still going strong.
