Summerset Grill Liner for the 32 inch Sizzler and Sizzler Pro: protects wood island framing from grill heat
The Summerset Grill Liner for the 32 inch Sizzler and Sizzler Pro is a stainless steel sleeve that lines the cutout for a built in grill. It is for an island framed in wood or any other material that can burn, because the heat from the grill would otherwise reach the framing. Liner means a double walled stainless steel box, one inch thick, that goes into the cutout first, and the grill drops into it. It fits only the 32 inch Sizzler and 32 inch Sizzler Pro. Each grill size has its own liner. It is built from 304 stainless steel, the grade that holds up best outdoors, and Summerset backs it with a lifetime warranty.
An island built entirely of block, metal studs, and cement board does not need one. Frame the opening to the liner size in the grill manual, not to the grill itself. Both grills share this liner, so you can move from the Sizzler to the Sizzler Pro later without changing your wood framed island. Planning for a wider grill? See the Summerset Grill Liner for the 40 inch Sizzler and Sizzler Pro. The Summerset Grill Liner for the 32 inch Sizzler and Sizzler Pro ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.
FAQ
Will one liner work for both the 32-inch Sizzler and Sizzler Pro?
Yes – the GL-SZR32 is shared across the 32-inch Sizzler series, so whichever of the two grills you choose, the same liner sleeves the cutout. That also means you could upgrade from Sizzler to Sizzler Pro later without touching the island structure at all.
Do building codes require an insulated liner?
Manufacturers require insulated liners for installation into combustible enclosures, and inspectors generally hold you to the appliance’s listed installation requirements. Practically: a wood-framed island plus a 32-inch Sizzler equals the GL-SZR32, and your local inspector has the final word on anything site-specific.
What goes in first, the liner or the grill?
The GL-SZR32 always precedes the grill. Sleeve the finished cutout with the liner, then set the Sizzler or Sizzler Pro down into it and make the gas connection last. Reversing the order means lifting a fully plumbed grill back out of the island.
What material is the GL-SZR32?
Weather-resistant #304 stainless steel in a 1-inch thick double-walled build. The twin-wall gap is the insulating mechanism – it stops the Sizzler’s firebox heat from conducting through to whatever your island happens to be framed with behind the finish.
Does it matter whether my grill is natural gas or propane?
Not for the liner – the GL-SZR32 fits the 32-inch Sizzler series regardless of fuel. One note for propane grill installs: an enclosed island housing LP also needs proper venting, which is a separate safety component from the insulating liner.
Anything special about cleaning it?
No routines needed. The exposed stainless edge of the GL-SZR32 cleans up with whatever you already use on the Sizzler’s face, and the buried portion never gets dirty. Weather resistance comes baked into the #304 grade, so there is nothing to protect or reapply.
Is the liner warrantied like the grill?
The GL-SZR32 carries Summerset’s Gold Standard Lifetime Warranty. For a rental property or multi-family setting – where Sizzler grills are a popular pick – lifetime coverage on the built-in infrastructure is a genuine long-term budget point in its favor.
