Summerset Pro Double Side Burner: two burners for pots and pans beside the grill
The Summerset Pro Double Side Burner is a built in side burner. It drops into a cutout in the counter next to the grill. It lets you cook sauces and sides while the grill handles dinner. 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. It gives you about 200 square inches of grate space.
It lights with a push button spark. A light over each knob turns red when that burner is on, so plan for an outlet nearby. A stainless steel lid closes over the burners when you are not cooking, so the top works as counter space. On the page you pick natural gas or propane, and it comes built for that gas. A cover is optional on the page. Prefer a version without the lid and lights? See the Summerset Double Side Burner. The Summerset Pro Double Side Burner ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.
FAQ
What does the Pro version add over a standard double side burner?
The SB2PRO brings the lighting package from Summerset’s Pro grills to the side station: LED pin lighting plus white-to-red bezel halos that show at a glance whether a burner is live. It also carries a protective stainless lid over its two 12,000 BTU burners. Same cooking muscle, considerably more polish and nighttime usability.
Can I run the two burners at different heat levels?
Yes — each 12,000 BTU burner has its own control, which is the real advantage of a double: hold a barbecue sauce at a bare simmer on one side while corn or potatoes boil hard on the other. The SB2PRO’s 195.83 square inches of grate space accommodates two full-size pots at once.
Why do the control bezels change color?
White means the burner is off, red means it is on — a deliberate safety cue. Outdoors at dusk it is easy to leave a low flame burning invisibly; the SB2PRO’s glowing red bezel catches your eye from across the patio before you head inside and forget it for the night.
How do I keep sauces warm through a long cookout?
Park them on the SB2PRO at its lowest setting. A 12,000 BTU burner throttled down holds butter sauces, gravy, or queso just below a simmer for hours while the grill stays free for meat. Stir occasionally and the last plate you serve tastes as good as the first one did.
Where should a side burner go in an outdoor kitchen layout?
Put it on the prep side of the grill, close to counter space and away from foot traffic, so pots and pans never cross paths with guests. The SB2PRO’s built-in lighting makes it a natural anchor for the evening prep zone. See our gas grill with side burner category if you are planning both at once.
What is the best way to clean the grates and burners?
Let the #201 stainless grates cool, then wash them in warm soapy water — boil-overs release easily. The brass and aluminum burners mostly need their ports kept clear; a soft brush after sticky spills is plenty. Wipe the SB2PRO’s #443 body with stainless cleaner, working with the grain, then close the lid.
If it has a lid, do I still need a cover?
For most patios the SB2PRO’s protective stainless lid handles day-to-day exposure on its own, sealing the burners and grates against rain and debris. In salt air, under heavy tree litter, or through snowy winters, a fitted cover adds inexpensive extra insurance for the #443 finish and the LED lighting hardware.
