I had grill with side burner and used it all the time.  Burned that grill up a couple of years ago , new grill no side burner so added camp chef two burner to collection. 
Used side burner, now camp chef, for cooking corn, bacon, deep frying anything, pressure cooker etc. 
would love a searing burner.

Well...One thing this thread has revealed: We ALL use our grills in different ways. That is great to now and share. I see several ideas just from the discussion that may give rise to me using my side burner!

Good thread!

... Also the side burner can be used to get a charcoal starter started instead of using newspaper...

Never thought of that but sounds like a Helluva good idea (except for having to uncover two grills at the same time - but the lack of newspaper ash flying around probably makes it well worth the effort).

I use Weber lighter cubes to get my chimney going, no flying ash and far less of that ugly smoke that burning newspaper creates.

Indeed. Lots of great feedback. I never even thought of using a side burner to light charcoal in a chimney starter. That and having somewhere to fry outdoors may tip the scales LOL. Funny because when I made the post I figured if anything would sell me on splurging it'd be the sear burner.

Thanks everyone!

 I use my side burner pretty often. Keep the heat out of the house this time of year. Plus, with mainly just Kerry and I anything I'm cooking on it is small most of the time.
  I voted neutral on this because once I get more room I will add a couple burners and not need the grill burner.
 The grill burners are kind of weak in my opinion.  With poor control. 
As for sear I have a CB IR grill so it does that part.  And many times I sear on the Hibachi over wood and finish slow on the grill as the veggies finish.

My Weber has a side burner and I frequently use it, especially during the summer when I don't want to heat the kitchen up.
