Overview

The Camp Chef Sidekick Pellet Grill Accessory is a propane-powered single-burner add-on that brings Camp Chef’s 14" VersaGrill system capabilities to most full-size Camp Chef pellet grills (2016 and newer). With a 30,000 BTU cast-aluminum burner and a detachable, pre-seasoned steel griddle, it lets pellet-grill owners quickly switch to high-heat searing, griddling, frying, boiling, or sautéing without buying a separate cooktop. It attaches to the pellet grill’s accessory rail, includes a tank holder, Matchless ignition, Wind Baffled Technology, and a grease-management system for cleaner cooking. Ideal for backyard cooks who want one integrated station for both low-and-slow smoking and high-temperature stovetop techniques, it expands menu options while keeping setup compact and portable.

Key Features

  • 30,000 BTU cast-aluminum single burner for high-heat performance and fast recovery.
  • Detachable, pre-seasoned 14" steel griddle included for flat-top cooking and easy removal for cleaning.
  • Designed for Camp Chef 14" accessory rail — compatible with most 14" tools and attachments (sold separately).
  • Matchless push-button ignition and fully adjustable heat-control knob for simple, reliable operation.
  • Wind Baffled Technology and integrated grease management system to stabilize flame in outdoor conditions and channel drippings for easier cleanup; tank holder included. Overall height approximately 6 inches when mounted.

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • High power: 30,000 BTU burner produces quick searing and rapid boil times.
  • Versatile cooking: supports griddling, frying, searing, boiling, braising and baking when paired with 14" accessories.
  • Easy setup: Matchless ignition and a single control knob make it straightforward to use.
  • Durable materials: cast-aluminum burner and pre-seasoned steel griddle stand up to heavy use and conduct heat well.
  • Compatible integration: mounts to most full-sized Camp Chef pellet grills (2016+) so you can combine smoking and stovetop cooking in one station.

Cons

  • Requires a compatible Camp Chef pellet grill (2016 and newer); not universal to other brands.
  • Runs on a separate 20-lb propane cylinder (not included), adding fuel management for pellet grill users.
  • Accessory-only: most 14" add-ons are sold separately, increasing total cost to fully equip the system.
  • No built-in cover — griddle and burner exposed when not in use, requiring care in storage or use of a separate cover.

Recommendations

  • Backyard grillers who already own a compatible Camp Chef pellet grill and want to add a high-heat stovetop/griddle option without buying a second cooktop.
  • Campers or tailgaters who need a compact, attachable single-burner that uses a standard 20-lb propane tank and packs away with the grill.
  • Home cooks who like to alternate between low-and-slow smoking and quick searing or griddle-based breakfasts (pancakes, eggs, burgers).
  • Anyone building a versatile outdoor kitchen around the Camp Chef 14" VersaGrill ecosystem and planning to add specialty accessories (griddle, pizza stone, skillets).
