Summerset 36 inch 2 Drawer Dry Storage Pantry and Enclosed Cabinet Combo: sealed drawers and a cabinet outside
The Summerset 36 inch 2 Drawer Dry Storage Pantry and Enclosed Cabinet 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. The dry storage pantry has two sealed drawers for spices, oils, rubs, and paper goods on one side, and an enclosed cabinet for bulk items on the other. 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. Dry storage means the drawers and cabinet are sealed against rain and sprinkler spray, though flour and other powders still need lidded jars. It suits homeowners who want a kitchen cabinet outside, without carrying pantry supplies out for every cookout. Prefer an access door beside the pantry?

The Summerset 36 inch 2 Drawer Dry Storage Pantry and Enclosed Cabinet Combo ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.
FAQ
Can pantry goods really be stored outdoors?
With the right enclosure, yes. The DP-36DC pairs a two-drawer dry storage pantry with an enclosed cabinet, all fully enclosed 304 stainless steel, so spices, oils, rubs, and paper goods stay out of the weather between cooks. It is the closest an island gets to true outdoor kitchen cabinets.
What is dry storage in an outdoor kitchen?
Storage designed to keep contents dry, not just hidden – sealed construction that blocks rain, sprinkler mist, and humidity swings. In the DP-36DC the two pantry drawers handle frequently used dry goods while the enclosed cabinet swallows bulk items, so nothing has to commute from the indoor pantry every cookout.
Is a pantry combo covered by Summerset’s warranty?
Yes – the DP-36DC carries the Gold Standard Lifetime Warranty, matching the coverage on the brand’s grills and doors. For a pantry that will live outside through every season, lifetime coverage on the enclosure and the drawer hardware is a meaningful line on the spec sheet.
What should NOT go in an outdoor pantry?
Anything a raccoon would fight you for. Even sealed cabinets are not a substitute for airtight containers, so keep flour, sugar, and snacks in lidded canisters inside the DP-36DC, and take perishables indoors. Oils, vinegars, rubs, foil, chafing fuel, and paper goods are the natural residents.
How do the drawer and cabinet halves divide the work?
The two pantry drawers are the grab-zone: rubs, oils, and the things you reach for mid-cook, riding full-extension ball-bearing tracks so the back row stays reachable. The enclosed cabinet is depth – bulk paper towels, serving trays, backstock. Together the DP-36DC handles daily use and reserves in one cutout.
Is the DP-36DC hard to add to an existing island?
If you have – or can cut – a 36-by-22-inch opening in a straight island run, it installs like any flush-mount Summerset component: set, square, fasten. No plumbing or wiring. Most retrofits spend more time on the masonry saw than on the unit itself.
How much island frontage does it take?
A 36-by-22-inch horizontal stretch – sized like a serious base cabinet, so plan it into a run of island away from the grill’s heat zone. Confirm the rough opening for the DP-36DC against Summerset’s spec sheet before cutting, and the flush frame handles the finished look.
