For those of you that want a griddle AND a grille, go with the Blackstone Tailgater. We hardly ever cook indoors anymore: the Tailgater has a griddle AND a grille, and either (or both) can be lifted off to expose large burners (Dutch oven, anyone?). It breaks down easily, and stores nicely in 2 bags.
I use the grille for steaks and hot dogs, but pretty much everything else goes on the griddle; bacon/sausage, eggs, pancakes, potatoes, hash browns, fried rice, shrimp, philly cheesesteaks, quesadillas, grilled cheese, etc. We seldom, if ever, cook inside anymore when camping. As someone else said, use the Scott blue shop towels, they work great. After cooking, a quick scrape followed by a light coating of oil (using the Scott towels) takes care of cleanup. Every 4th or 5th time, I'll use some water with the scrubber, followed by a light oiling.
I did have a bit of a problem maintaining heat if the wind came up; solved that by installing an aluminum plate underneath (the bottom is open), and adding an adjustable (rather than fixed) regulator to give me the option of a bit more "power" if weather conditions warrant.
