Summerset Grill Liner for the 40 inch Sizzler and Sizzler Pro: A heat barrier for wood framed islands
The Summerset Grill Liner for the 40 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 40 inch Sizzler and 40 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. This liner is for homeowners putting the big Sizzler plumbed for natural gas into a permanent wood framed island. Planning around a smaller grill? See the Summerset Grill Liner for the 32 inch Sizzler and Sizzler Pro. The Summerset Grill Liner for the 40 inch Sizzler and Sizzler Pro ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.
FAQ
What does the GL-SZR40 fit?
The 40-inch Sizzler and 40-inch Sizzler Pro – the largest grills in the series share this one liner. If you are running the big Sizzler as a natural gas grill plumbed into a permanent island, this is the insulation piece for that cutout.
What actually goes wrong without a liner in a wood island?
Heat from a 40-inch firebox slowly cooks the framing behind it – charring and drying the wood until its ignition point drops. Fires from unlined installs often start seasons after the build, not on day one. The GL-SZR40 removes that failure mode entirely.
Does the liner change my cutout dimensions?
Frame the opening to the liner-based install dimensions in the 40-inch Sizzler’s manual rather than to the grill body alone. Best practice is having the GL-SZR40 on site before final framing so you can verify fit directly – or contact us to check the numbers first.
What is it made from?
The GL-SZR40 is 1-inch thick, double-walled, weather-resistant #304 stainless steel. Across a 40-inch span that double-wall construction also keeps the liner rigid, so the long edges of the cutout stay straight and the big grill seats evenly along them.
Is a liner this size hard to install?
No – it is a fitted sleeve with no mechanical parts. The GL-SZR40 sets into the framed opening, the 40-inch grill lowers in after it, and that is the whole job. The larger size mainly just benefits from a second set of hands on install day.
How does it hold up outdoors year-round?
The #304 stainless is weather resistant by design, so the GL-SZR40 rides out rain, humidity, and winter inside the island with nothing more than an occasional wipe of its exposed edge. No covers, coatings, or off-season steps are required for it.
What is the warranty on this liner?
Gold Standard Lifetime Warranty – Summerset’s industry-leading, protect-it-for-life coverage. On a 40-inch entertaining island that represents a serious build investment, having the permanently installed GL-SZR40 covered for life is exactly the assurance you want on the hidden hardware.
