Camp Chef warranty for griddles & portable grills
The short version
Camp Chef doesn't cover everything, but keeps sidekick body, burner and griddle and sidekick regulator and valve covered to 3 years. That full coverage is the same as most of the 8 brands we compared, which typically cover nothing in full. You don't need to register to get this coverage.
From Camp Chef's published warranty, checked October 2026.
