Summerset TRL Pro 40: a four burner grill with a rotisserie kit included
The Summerset TRL Pro 40 is a 40 inch built in gas grill. It drops into a cutout in an outdoor kitchen island, so it has no legs of its own. This top line is for cooks who want Summerset’s hottest burners and best steel. The body is 304 stainless steel, the grade that holds up best outdoors, and Summerset backs it with a lifetime warranty. It has four heavy cast stainless steel burners at 20,000 BTU each. A 15,000 BTU infrared back burner at the rear is for rotisserie cooking, and the rotisserie kit comes in the box. It gives you about 880 square inches of cooking space, counting the warming rack.
Turn a knob and a jet of flame lights the burner, with 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. The double lined hood is spring assisted, so it lifts with two fingers. On the page you pick natural gas or propane, and it comes built for that gas. A sear burner, a griddle plate, and a grill liner are optional on the page, and so is a matching cart if you do not have an island. Need a smaller grill?

FAQ
What is flame thrower ignition on the TRL Pro 40?
Turn a knob and a visible jet of flame shoots across the burner to light it instantly — no clicking, no waiting. Each of the TRL Pro 40’s 20,000 BTU burners lights this way, with a manual flash tube as backup, so startup is fast and dependable every single time you cook.
How hot does this grill actually get?
The TRL Pro 40 is one of the most powerful heads Summerset makes: 20,000 BTUs per cast stainless main burner plus a 15,000 BTU infrared back burner. With the double-lined hood closed it climbs well past typical roasting range, and open-lid direct grilling delivers genuine steakhouse sear temperatures at the grate.
What does the spring-assisted hood do?
The TRL Pro 40’s double-lined hood rides on spring assists, so a lid this large lifts with two fingers and holds its position instead of slamming shut. Combined with the halogen interior lights, it makes checking a roast mid-cook effortless — a small luxury you will notice every time you grill on a 40-inch head.
What is the best way to sear a steak on the TRL Pro 40?
Preheat one 20,000 BTU burner on high for 15 minutes, lay the steak on the 8mm square grates at a diagonal, and give it about 90 seconds per quarter-turn for crosshatch marks. Then move it across the heat-zone separators to a low burner to finish. High BTUs mean less waiting and more crust.
Should I build my outdoor kitchen around a 40-inch grill head?
If you entertain regularly, yes. Plan the island around the TRL Pro 40’s cutout first, then add counter and storage; retrofitting a bigger grill later is far harder than sizing up now. Its 876.61 square inches of cooking surface means one cook can serve a whole party without staging food in batches.
What is the best grill for a high-end outdoor kitchen?
Look for #304 stainless construction, cast burners, an infrared rear burner, and interior lighting — the TRL Pro 40 checks every box as Summerset’s flagship 40-inch head. Compare it against other premium built-in grill options and you will usually find that same feature list at noticeably higher prices.
Does the TRL Pro 40 come with a rotisserie kit?
The spec sheet lists the 15,000 BTU infrared back burner but does not show a rotisserie kit in the box, so plan on adding the kit separately to put that rear burner to work. Reach out to us and we will match the correct Summerset rotisserie kit to the TRL Pro 40.
