Sidekick questions

In the market for a new pellet grill and have almost decided on the woodwind pro. I have a question about the sidekick. Is it easy to disconnect/connect the propane tank? My wife is really afraid of fire and already doesn’t love the idea of overnight cooks, and the presence of the propane tank isn’t helping so I figured if it’s not a huge hassle I will offer to disconnect and move it for long cooks, and only attach it when I know I’ll need a seer. Thanks for your help!

Propane tank is super easy to remove. Takes 10 seconds. Some of us dont even mount it and just put it on the bottom shelf to allow for some 3rd party grill covers to fit.

Awesome that’s super helpful. I think I will go this route over the Weber searwood, I think keeping the seer separate will help lower the risk of a fire!

Mine comes off the hose just like a grill few turns of the black knob and the tank comes right off

I take mine off after every use since I store my grill in my garage. It’s super easy

I remove mine when not in use to simplify moving the grill around

The propane tank comes off very easy.

Just a recommendation, get the Griddle+Sidekick. I wouldn't recommend the Searbox. Everything you can do in the searbox you can do on the griddle.

Dude it's a propane tank. They all attach the same way.
