Summerset 36 inch 2 Drawer and Access Door Combo: drawer storage and access under your grill
The Summerset 36 inch 2 Drawer and Access Door Combo is a drawer and door combo for an outdoor kitchen island. Combo means the drawers and the door share one frame and one cutout in the island. It has two drawers for everyday gear and one access door into the island for the gas hookup, bulk supplies, or a bin. It measures 36 by 22 inches. It mounts flush, sitting flat against a smooth island face such as tile, stucco, or panels. It is built from 304 stainless steel, the grade that holds up best outdoors, and Summerset backs it with a lifetime warranty.
The drawers pull all the way out on ball bearing slides, so nothing gets lost at the back. It suits a spot under or beside a 36 inch grill, so the tools sit right below the cook.

The Summerset 36 inch 2 Drawer and Access Door Combo ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.
FAQ
Why match a 36-inch combo to a 36-inch grill?
Lining the DC2-36 up under or beside a 36-inch grill keeps the island elevation clean – matching widths, matching 304 stainless, matching bar handles – and puts tools directly below the cook. Summerset sizes its door-and-drawer combos to mirror its grill widths for exactly this reason.
What configuration do you get?
Two storage drawers plus one access door in a single 36-by-22-inch horizontal unit. Drawers take the everyday gear – tongs, thermometer, foil, towels – while the door opens the island cavity for the gas connection, bulk supplies, or a bin. One cutout, whole-island utility from the DC2-36.
Do the drawers open fully?
Yes – heavy-duty full-extension tracks with smooth ball-bearing slides carry each drawer completely clear of the opening, so the back corners of the DC2-36 stay usable instead of becoming a lost-and-found. The slide hardware is built for loaded drawers of cast iron and tools.
How weatherproof is the unit?
The DC2-36 is fully enclosed 304 stainless steel – the corrosion-resistant grade – so contents stay dry through rain and sprinkler cycles and the body will not rust out like painted steel storage. It lives uncovered year-round; a periodic wipe with stainless cleaner keeps the finish uniform.
Any framing tips before installing?
Frame the rough opening to Summerset’s published spec for the 36-by-22-inch flush-mount frame, keep the opening square, and set the unit before countertops go on if you can. Leave clearance for the door swing and full drawer travel – islands with tight inside corners discover this late.
What is worth storing outdoors versus carrying out?
Store duplicates outside: a second set of tongs, spatula, thermometer, foil, and towels that live in the DC2-36 permanently. Carrying tools back and forth is how they end up missing mid-sear. Perishables and good knives stay indoors; everything else earns a permanent outdoor home.
Does the combo work with any brand of grill?
Yes – it is independent island storage, so the DC2-36 pairs with any built-in grill, though the 304 finish and bar handles match Summerset heads seamlessly. And Summerset backs it with the Gold Standard Lifetime Warranty regardless of what cooks above it.
