"The Sidekick gets screaming hot in minutes. I reverse-sear my steaks on the pellet side then finish them on the Sidekick — restaurant-quality crust every time."

"Monitored an overnight brisket from my phone. Temperature held within 5 degrees all night and the app notifications woke me up when the internal temp hit target. This is the future of BBQ."

"Ash cleanout is 30 seconds. After every cook I pull the lever, empty the cup, and done. My old smoker took 20 minutes to clean out."

App connectivity drops occasionally
Several users report intermittent WiFi drops requiring the app to be restarted. The grill continues cooking correctly — temperature control is hardware-based — but remote monitoring is lost until you reconnect.

The Sidekick propane connection and its separate canister requirement adds a setup step that some buyers find fiddly. A few reviewers wish it shared the main propane line instead of requiring its own canister.

The actual smoke output at a given Smoke Number setting varies depending on outdoor temperature and wind. Some users find they need to recalibrate their preferences seasonally, which takes experimentation.

This is a complex grill to assemble and several buyers report the manual could be clearer on the Sidekick attachment steps. Two people are strongly recommended for the assembly process.
Source: Amazon reviewerThe Camp Chef Woodwind Pro 36 is the best all-in-one pellet grill for serious outdoor cooks who want genuine smoke control flexibility and the ability to properly sear without a second appliance. The independent Smoke Number system and Sidekick burner genuinely earn their price premium over simpler pellet grills. At $1,299 CAD it's a significant buy, but buyers who use it regularly will find it's the last grill they need for years. It's ideal for enthusiasts who want to smoke, roast, bake, and sear all from one unit.
