Summerset Double Side Burner: two burners for pots beside the grill
The Summerset Double Side Burner is a built in side burner. It drops into a cutout in the counter next to the grill. It lets you simmer sauces, boil corn, or cook in a skillet beside the grill, so you stop running inside. The body is 443 stainless steel, a grade that stands up to rain and sun and keeps the price down, and Summerset backs it with a lifetime warranty. It has two brass and aluminum burners at 12,000 BTU each, each with its own knob. The grate gives you about 200 square inches, room for two full size pots.
Turn a knob and a jet of flame lights the burner, with a match port as a backup, so it needs no electricity. On the page you pick natural gas or propane, and it comes built for that gas. A fitted cover is optional on the page. Want a lid and knob lights? See the Summerset Pro Double Side Burner. The Summerset Double Side Burner ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.
FAQ
What would I actually use a side burner for?
Everything the grill cannot hold: simmering barbecue sauce, boiling corn, sauteing peppers and onions, keeping beans warm. The Double Side Burner’s two 12,000 BTU burners work like a stovetop beside the grill, so you stop sprinting to the indoor kitchen mid-cook.
What are the burners made of?
Round burners in brass and aluminum – materials chosen for even flame distribution and corrosion resistance – set in a 443 stainless steel frame that drops into your island. Combined cooking area across the pair runs 195.84 square inches.
How does the Double Side Burner light?
Flame thrower ignition with a manual flash tube backup: twist the knob and you have fire, with a fail-safe if the igniter ever wears out. There are no electronics to wire, which keeps installation simple and gives you one less thing to troubleshoot.
Can I boil a big stockpot on it?
A 12,000 BTU burner handles a pasta or seafood pot without complaint, and you can run two pots side by side. For giant crawfish-boil rigs Summerset’s power burner tier delivers more output, but for typical entertaining this side burner has you covered.
Natural gas or propane for the SB2?
Both – specify natural gas or liquid propane at purchase so the SB2 arrives ready for your fuel line. It shares finish and design lines with Summerset grills, so the pair reads as one integrated kitchen rather than an add-on.
Will it hold up outdoors uncovered?
The 443 stainless construction resists weather on its own, though any side burner lives longer with a cover when idle – especially near pools or salty coastal air. An occasional wipe with stainless cleaner keeps the brushed finish bright season after season.
Is the warranty the same as on Summerset grills?
Yes – the Gold Standard Lifetime Warranty, the industry-leading coverage Summerset applies across its cooking line. A side burner is often the hardest-working small appliance in an outdoor kitchen, so lifetime backing matters more than it sounds.
