Gas grill pellet smoker combo: what Amazon sells and what to expect

The Camp Chef SmokePro SG 24 is the best foundation for a modular gas and pellet outdoor cooking setup on Amazon. The pellet grill itself delivers 811 square inches of smoking capacity with direct-flame Slide and Grill access. When paired with the Camp Chef Sidekick propane attachment (sold separately on Amazon), the setup gains a dedicated propane burner that accepts griddle, flat-top, wok or cast iron attachments.

This modular approach provides most of the function of a gas+pellet combo without the limitations of integrated designs that compromise one fuel type for the other. The Sidekick runs fully independently: you can smoke a brisket on the pellet side while using the propane Sidekick for sides.

True single-unit gas+pellet combo grills from Pit Boss, Camp Chef and Z Grills are distributed primarily through Walmart, Home Depot and brand direct. They are not widely available on Amazon as of the time of this guide.

The Camp Chef Sidekick is a 28,000 BTU propane side burner that attaches to compatible Camp Chef pellet grills including the SmokePro SG 24. It accepts multiple cooking attachments: a flat-top griddle, a raised grill box, a wok burner and accessories.

For the cook who wants to smoke proteins on the pellet side while simultaneously using propane for high-heat cooking, the Sidekick is the Amazon-available solution to a gas+pellet combo setup.

At 28,000 BTU, the Sidekick reaches temperatures that the pellet grill itself cannot: high enough for a proper sear, fast wok cooking or griddle breakfast alongside a long smoking session.

The Traeger Woodridge Pro 970 does not include a gas burner but addresses the same underlying need: the ability to both smoke low-and-slow and sear at high heat without a separate grill. The induction side sear station runs on electricity rather than propane, reaching searing temperatures faster than a pellet flame broiler and with more consistency.

For buyers who search for a gas+pellet combo but whose actual goal is pellet smoking plus high-heat searing, the Woodridge Pro delivers the outcome through a different mechanism.

The 970 sq in cooking area handles large cook loads, and the 28-pound hopper runs overnight sessions without requiring a reload. Wi-Fi app integration provides remote temperature monitoring through the Traeger app.

The Pit Boss 500 Carbon Series is the starting point for buyers who want to enter pellet grilling at the lowest price point before deciding whether to expand the setup. It performs all pellet grill functions: automated temperature control, smoke infusion and fan-forced convection heat.

For buyers new to pellet grilling who plan to add gas capability later, the Camp Chef system with modular Sidekick is the more forward-compatible platform. The Pit Boss 500 does not support side burner add-ons.

At 543 square inches, it handles household smoking loads and produces results that demonstrate whether pellet grilling fits your outdoor cooking style before a larger investment.
