Overview
Expand your outdoor kitchen beyond the grill with the Summerset Double Side Burner, a built-in cooking station that gives you two independently controlled burners for sauces, sides, sautéing, simmering, boiling, and other stovetop cooking outdoors.
Each burner delivers 14,000 BTUs, providing a combined rated output of 28,000 BTUs and the flexibility to prepare two dishes at different heat levels simultaneously.
A generous 196-square-inch cooking surface provides room for multiple compatible pots and pans, while independent controls let you manage each burner according to the dish you're preparing.
Constructed with a #443 stainless steel exterior, stainless steel cooking grates, brass and aluminum burner components, a protective stainless steel lid, and piezo ignition, this side burner is purpose-built to become an integrated part of a premium outdoor kitchen.
Available for Natural Gas or Propane configurations, it gives serious outdoor cooks the versatility of an additional cooktop exactly where they need it.

Why This Product Stands Out
A premium outdoor kitchen shouldn't force every part of the meal onto the main grill.
The Summerset Double Side Burner creates a dedicated outdoor stovetop for the foods that are better prepared in cookware.
Use your grill for the main course while the side burner handles:
Sauces • Vegetables • Side Dishes • Simmering • Sautéing • Boiling • Warming
And because there are two independently controlled burners, you aren't limited to preparing one stovetop dish at a time.
One burner can operate at a gentler setting while the second handles a higher-heat task.
That transforms the outdoor kitchen from simply a place to grill into a more complete cooking environment.

Who This Is For
The Summerset Double Side Burner is ideal for outdoor cooks who want more flexibility than a grill alone can provide.
It's particularly well suited for:
- Premium outdoor kitchens
- Built-in grill islands
- Backyard entertaining spaces
- Outdoor cooks preparing multi-course meals
- Customers who frequently cook sauces and side dishes
- Entertainers cooking for larger groups
- Customers wanting two independently controlled outdoor burners
- Natural gas outdoor kitchens
- Propane outdoor kitchens
For anyone building a complete outdoor cooking station, a double side burner can be one of the most practical additions after the primary grill.
Two Burners. Two Different Tasks.
The real advantage over a single side burner is flexibility.
With two independent 14,000 BTU burners, you can prepare two components of the meal simultaneously without requiring the same heat setting.
For example:
Burner 1: Keep a sauce or side dish at a controlled simmer.
Burner 2: Use higher heat for sautéing, boiling, or another stovetop task.
Meanwhile, your primary grill remains available for the foods it handles best.
28,000 BTUs of Combined Rated Output
Each burner is rated at:
14,000 BTUs
for a combined maximum rated output of:
28,000 BTUs
The independent controls allow you to regulate the burners separately rather than treating the unit as one large heat source.
Actual cooking performance and heat requirements will depend on cookware, outdoor conditions, fuel supply, and the food being prepared.
196 Square Inches of Cooking Space
The 196-square-inch cooking surface gives the burner room to accommodate multiple appropriately sized cooking vessels.
That makes the Double Side Burner useful for everything from smaller saucepans to larger outdoor cooking tasks, subject to cookware size and manufacturer recommendations.
The stainless steel grates create a stable platform while maintaining the coordinated stainless appearance of the appliance.
Built for the Outdoor Kitchen
At just 12 5/8 inches wide, the Summerset Double Side Burner adds significant cooking capability without consuming the counter space of another full-size grill.
Its built-in configuration allows it to sit alongside other outdoor kitchen components for a cohesive installation.
The stainless exterior also coordinates naturally with:
Built-In Grills • Outdoor Refrigerators • Access Doors • Storage Drawers • Sinks
creating a unified outdoor kitchen aesthetic.
Natural Gas or Propane
The Double Side Burner is offered for:
Natural Gas or Propane
Select the configuration that matches your outdoor kitchen's approved fuel system.
Important Fuel Information
Natural gas and propane configurations should not be treated as interchangeable unless Summerset specifically approves a conversion procedure and the appropriate components are used.
Order the correct fuel configuration for your installation and follow all manufacturer instructions.
Do not attempt unauthorized gas conversions.
Piezo Ignition
The integrated piezo ignition system provides a straightforward method for lighting the burners.
As with any gas appliance, always follow the manufacturer's lighting procedure and confirm proper burner operation before cooking.
If ignition does not occur as expected, turn off the gas and follow the manufacturer's troubleshooting and relighting procedure rather than allowing unburned gas to accumulate.
Stainless Steel Lid
The included stainless steel lid gives the burner a finished appearance when it isn't in use.
It also covers the cooking surface between cooking sessions.
The lid should be used according to manufacturer instructions and should not be closed over operating or excessively hot burners unless specifically directed by Summerset.
Installation Considerations
Because this is a built-in gas appliance, proper planning is essential.
Before installation:
- Confirm the exact model and fuel type.
- Verify the current manufacturer cutout dimensions.
- Follow all required combustible clearances.
- Provide ventilation required for the outdoor kitchen enclosure.
- Follow requirements for propane or natural gas installations.
- Maintain access to gas shutoff components.
- Follow all applicable building and fuel-gas codes.
- Have gas connections performed as required by applicable regulations.
- Follow Summerset's current installation manual.
Cutout Dimensions
10 3/4" W × 20 3/4" D × 8" H
Do not construct the final island opening solely from retailer marketing copy. Confirm these dimensions against the installation documentation for the exact model before fabrication.
Care & Maintenance
- Allow the burner to cool before cleaning.
- Clean cooking grates regularly.
- Remove food residue and grease buildup.
- Clean stainless surfaces using appropriate products and methods.
- Avoid harsh abrasives that could damage the finish.
- Inspect burner ports and ignition components periodically.
- Keep burner openings free of debris.
- Inspect gas connections according to manufacturer recommendations.
- Follow Summerset's maintenance instructions.
- Keep the appliance covered or protected as recommended when not in use.
Stainless steel is durable, but it should not be marketed as completely rustproof or maintenance free.
