Summerset Sizzler Pro 32: rotisserie heat and lights for cooking after dark
The Summerset Sizzler Pro 32 is a 32 inch built in gas grill. It drops into a cutout in an outdoor kitchen island, so it has no legs of its own. This is the Sizzler for people who want hotter burners, rotisserie cooking, and lights. 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 four heavy cast stainless steel burners at 14,000 BTU each. A 15,000 BTU infrared back burner at the rear is for rotisserie cooking, and the rotisserie kit is optional on the page. It gives you about 700 square inches of cooking space, counting the warming rack.
It lights with a push button spark and has a match port as a backup. 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. On the page you pick natural gas or propane, and it comes built for that gas. A sear burner, a rotisserie kit, and a griddle plate are optional on the page, and so is a matching cart if you do not have an island. Prefer a grill that needs no electricity?

FAQ
What does the Pro add over the standard Sizzler 32?
The Sizzler Pro 32 upgrades the platform in five ways: 14,000 BTU cast stainless burners instead of 12,000 BTU tubes, a 15,000 BTU infrared back burner, halogen interior lights with LED exterior lighting, an easy-clean briquette system in place of flame tamers, and heat-zone separators. Total cooking area also grows to 696.57 square inches.
What is the infrared back burner used for?
The 15,000 BTU infrared back burner mounts at the rear of the Sizzler Pro 32 and throws intense radiant heat across a rotating spit, which makes it the right tool for rotisserie chickens, roasts, and al pastor-style cooking. It frees the main burners below for sides while the rear burner handles the slow spin.
How does the briquette system make cleanup easier?
The Sizzler Pro’s easy-clean briquette tray sits over the cast burners, evening out heat and vaporizing drippings before they pool. When the briquettes get greasy, flip them and run the grill hot to burn residue away, then let the full-length drip tray catch what is left. It is a genuinely low-effort routine.
What is the trick to a steakhouse-quality steak on this grill?
Use the heat-zone separators to split the Sizzler Pro 32 into a screaming-hot sear zone and a moderate finish zone. Sear each side over a 14,000 BTU cast burner for about two minutes, then slide the steak to the cooler zone until it reaches your target internal temperature. Rest it five minutes before slicing.
Where does a 32-inch grill fit in an outdoor kitchen build?
A 32-inch head like the Sizzler Pro is the sweet spot for most DIY island builds: big enough for family plus guests, small enough for an 8-foot counter run with storage on either side. Drop-in components make the build far simpler than fabricating from scratch — see our outdoor kitchen collection for the matching pieces.
Do I need a vent panel if my island runs on propane?
Yes — treat that as a safety requirement, not an option. Propane is heavier than air and can pool inside an enclosed island cavity, so any island housing an LP-fueled grill like the SZRPRO32L needs vent panels to let stray gas escape. Natural gas installs benefit from venting as well.
Can I grill after dark on the Sizzler Pro?
Comfortably. Halogen lights inside the hood illuminate the grates so you can judge sear color at night, while LED pin lighting and white-to-red bezel halos on the control panel show at a glance which burners are live. It is one of the Pro upgrades that matters most for evening entertaining.
