Know before you buy
The Sidekick is a propane-powered burner that attaches to the side of the grill, providing a high-heat surface for searing, sautéing, or boiling. It operates independently from the pellet grill, allowing you to cook side dishes or sear steaks while your main meal smokes.
Yes, the Woodwind 24 features a WIFI-enabled controller that connects to the Camp Chef Connect App. This allows you to monitor internal meat temperatures, adjust the grill heat, and receive notifications directly on your smartphone.
The Slide and Grill feature allows you to shift a heat deflector plate, exposing your food directly to the fire pot's flames. This provides the high-heat direct flame contact needed for a proper sear, which is typically difficult to achieve on standard pellet grills.
The patented ash cleanout system is highly effective and significantly reduces maintenance time. Instead of vacuuming out the fire pot, you simply pull a lever to drop the ash into a removable cup located underneath the grill.
The Woodwind 24 offers 811 square inches of total rack space, including the primary cooking area and upper racks. When you include the Sidekick attachment, you gain an additional 224 square inches of flat-top cooking surface.
The Pellet Purge system makes switching flavors straightforward. It allows you to quickly empty the hopper and auger of leftover pellets, so you can swap to a different wood type without having to manually scoop out the contents.
