Cooked on it after attaching it to my pellet grill. Worked flawlessly and grilled pork chops. Can’t wait to explore a lot of new recipes.

Bottom grates don’t fit
Just completed putting my grill together.The bottom grates don’t fit they are about 3 inches too short. The stainless steel grates fit perfectly on the top rack did you send me the wrong size grate?

Great addition to any grill
The side kick is a great addition to my pellet grill. Smoking wings and frying them for a couple minutes crisps them up nicely.

So fun, so versatile
I’ve been using this for a few months now, and love it. It is folded into my cooking routines as much as using my regular stove is, in other words it is not a novelty but now an essential element. The larger surface area and higher heat allows for quick searing of way more food than would be manageable on a traditional 8-12” skillet, not to mention how much bringing the cooking process outdoors keeps your kitchen free of excess steam, smoke, oil splatter, etc. I also routinely remove the griddle top to cook with my flat bottomed wok and the high heat allows for rapid wok style cooking. It’s not at the level of a true wok burner but it’s most of the way there, and far better than most indoor home ranges. We just bought the 14” pizza oven attachment and that rules, too! It opens up the possibility for great flat breads, pizzas, and I’m going to experiment with tandoori style cooking. And again, I love that it’s all outdoors. No sacrifice in kitchen space, keeps the heat, gas, smells, smoke, oil, etc. all outside. It’s such a simple yet versatile solution: a single big powerful burner, and it’s outside.

Love it, However...2 problems
I purchased this unit with the 24" Pro. The Pro is what we've been needing in the pellet stove market for years. The smoke box is IT! Now the sidekick... I have tried no less then 5 different aluminum grease catch inserts. They fit, however the hole in the griddle isn't lined up and the grease falls behind the insert. Additionally, the unit arrived with a none working ignitor. I use my propane torch. An electric battery style ignitor is only a few more dimes.
My Pro arrived to two major dents in the side. It appears the the pellet burner grease catch was unsecured and struck the unit from the inside. It sucks to get such a nice unit and you need to hammer dent's out. I may just return it.

HOT HOT
This Sidekick Sear gets the searing done. Only bad thing is no matter how much you clean and condition grill grates rust

This thing gets hot
I replaced an older version of the sidekick with this after it rusted out multiple time. The jury is out on how this will fare from that standpoint. Initial impressions: this is built to sear. It "can" grill but that's not its strong suit. It gives one heck of a sear on steaks. I had multiple compliments from guests regarding the quality of the sear, and I agree it was far better than its predecessor (which was pretty good itself). Anything that requires lower temp cooking will be a bit trickier and runs the risk of burning if used for more than just a reverse sear. Also this runs insanely hot when on high, so be sure to take precautions to use away from structures. The manual is full of propane liability butt-covering, but more cautionary statements about the heat this thing generates would've been helpful.

Significant Upgrade from original Searbox
Little difficulty removing older model from Woodwind pellet grill and attaching new unit. Once that was done, WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!!!! Heat generated is major upgrade and this certainly makes food better when doing "reverse sear" after smoking. I have owned a few other Nationally marketed pellet grills, but CampChef has shown itself to be the best....
