21 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. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The Camp Chef FTT25CA42 runs on propane and packages 2 burners into a compact 32.5-inch-wide, 58.4-pound body. With 240 square inches of cooking area, it is best suited for 2 to 4 people per session rather than feeding a crowd. The black finish and Camp Chef branding position it as a practical pick for those who want the brand's quality in a smaller package.
At 10.5 inches tall when packed, and with dimensions of 21.6 x 32.5 inches, this looks like a unit that folds or collapses for transport and storage, making it a reasonable pick for camping, tailgating, or a patio where space is limited. Camp Chef has a strong track record with outdoor cooking gear, which lends credibility to this compact model.
With 21 reviews at 4.3 stars, there is enough feedback to suggest the grill meets expectations. That rating is above average and holds across a sample size that is small but meaningful for a niche-format grill. BTU output is not confirmed in available data, so check the listing for that detail.

Frequently asked questions
How many people can you cook for on the Camp Chef FTT25CA42?
With 240 square inches of cooking area, this grill comfortably handles meals for 2 to 4 people. For a family of four doing burgers or chicken pieces, that is about right. For larger gatherings you would want a grill with at least 400 to 500 square inches of cooking space.
Is the Camp Chef FTT25CA42 portable?
At 58.4 pounds and with compact folded dimensions of 21.6 x 32.5 x 10.5 inches, it is manageable for tailgating or camping. It is heavier than a basic tabletop grill but lighter than most full-size patio units. Check the listing for whether it includes a carry case or handle for transport.
What fuel does this grill use?
It runs on propane, connecting to a standard propane tank. Propane is widely available and provides consistent heat with easy adjustment. For a compact grill like this, a 1-pound disposable propane canister or an adapter hose to a larger tank are both common options depending on intended use.
