Summerset Quest 36: a built in gas grill with the extras included
The Summerset Quest 36 is a 36 inch built in gas grill. It drops into a cutout in an outdoor kitchen island, so it has no legs of its own. The Quest line is for the cook who wants everything in one box. The body is 304 stainless steel, the grade that holds up best outdoors, and Summerset backs it with a lifetime warranty. It has three stainless steel tube burners at 18,000 BTU each. A 13,000 BTU infrared back burner at the rear is for rotisserie cooking, and the rotisserie kit comes in the box.
It lights with electronic ignition and has a match port as a backup. A strip of LED light runs down the front, and a light over each knob turns red when that burner is on. Halogen lights inside the hood light the grates after dark, so plan for an outlet nearby. Thick 8 millimeter grates hold heat for sear marks, and ceramic briquettes under them spread the heat and burn off drippings. Heat zone separators are walls between the burners, so one side can sear hot while the other stays low. In the box you also get a drop in griddle plate, a smoker box, a rib rack, a three position warming rack, and a vinyl cover for the grill head. On the page you pick natural gas or propane, and it comes built for that gas. A sear burner and a grill liner are optional on the page, and so is a matching cart if you do not have an island.

FAQ
What comes included with the Quest 36?
A full accessory suite: drop-in stainless griddle plate, smoker box, rib rack, rotisserie kit with a 40-pound motor, multi-position warming rack, and a weatherproof vinyl cover for the grill head. The Quest is Summerset’s fully-equipped series – you are cooking with everything on day one.
What is the angled infrared back burner for?
Rotisserie cooking. The 13,000 BTU infrared element mounts at the rear of the Quest and throws intense radiant heat at whatever spins on the included rotisserie kit, crisping poultry skin evenly while the motor turns. The angle directs heat onto the spit instead of out at you.
Can I cook breakfast on the Quest?
Yes – the included drop-in griddle plate swaps over the 18,000 BTU U-tube burners for pancakes, eggs, and smash burgers, then lifts out to give your grates back. The smoker box is there for the days you would rather chase low-and-slow flavor instead.
How does the Quest 36 light?
Electronic ignition at the knob with a manual flash tube backup, so you are never stuck. Halogen interior cooking lights and waterfall LED front-panel lighting – with bezels that shift from white to red when a burner is live – make evening cookouts easy to manage.
Is the Quest natural gas or propane?
Both are offered – QST36-NG for natural gas, QST36-LP for propane – so specify your fuel when ordering. Like Summerset’s other infrared gas grills, it is built in commercial-grade 304 stainless steel either way.
How do I clean the Quest after cooking?
Easier than most grills: the drip tray is removable and dishwasher-safe, and it even stores the warming rack when not in use. Brush the 8mm square grates while they are warm, and the easy-clean briquette system below deals with the drippings.
What is the warranty on the Quest series?
Summerset backs the Quest with its Gold Standard Lifetime Warranty. Between that coverage, the 304 stainless build, and the double-lined spring-assisted hood, this 36-inch grill is designed to be the last one your outdoor kitchen needs – keep your proof of purchase and register it.
