2018 Best of What’s New

​Popular Science published its 31st annual Best of What’s New list of 100 innovations in 10 categories: Aerospace, Automotive, Engineering, Entertainment, Gadgets, Health, Home, Recreation, Security and Software. To win, a product or technology must represent a significant step forward in its category.

We are proud to say the Camp Chef Sidekick Grill Accessory is an award winner in the Home category. According to Popular Science, a true innovation for the house should either work better than its predecessor or fulfill a need we didn’t realize we had. That fits Sidekick.

“The Best of What’s New Awards allow us the chance to examine and honor the best innovations of the year,” says Popular Science Editor-in-Chief Joe Brown. “This collection shapes our future, helps us be more efficient, keeps us healthy and safe, and lets us have some fun along the way. From simple household items to massive space-exploration tools, we’re proud to bring you the Best of What’s New 2018.”
