Sign in to disble this ad
A buddy of mine is in the market for a BBQ grill since its cheaper at the end of the season. He asked me advice on what he should get and I told him to get a sideburner. After thinking about it, the only time it gets used is when my kids toast marshmallows on it. In 2 years I have never used it. Does anyone actually use it? For what? Shame on me for giving bad advice  |

|  | Yeah, I've got the moves like Jagger. | | Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: G.R. MI | | | If you eat baked beans with every steak you grill, get the side burner. That's all I've ever seen anyone do with them.
Personally, I'm a charcoal and wood chunk kinda guy.

If your friend is planning on buying a high end grill, then I'd say its worth it, but other than that, probably not. |

Most important is the amount of BTU's it puts out, how many burners, and the grates. Even though a side burner doesn't get much use I wouldn't pass on a good grill because it has one.
I think I've used mine twice. Once I sauteed peppers and onions for some steak sandwiches. Another time was baked beans. Most times the cover is closes and it's shelf. |

I've also used it to fry eggs, to put on burgers.
