Great addition to the island

Just put this side burner in and I love it. The 15,000 BTU brass burner puts out serious heat, good for searing or boiling a big pot of corn while the grill is busy. Dropped right into my island, no fuss.

Matt D.★★★★☆June 18, 2021
Solid burner, igniter is a little fussy

Solid burner and the brass feels durable. Heats up fast and evenly, great for sauces and sides. Only complaint is the igniter sometimes takes a couple tries, but once it's lit it works great.

Ben V.★★★★★June 10, 2025
Plenty of power

This 15,000 BTU burner is legit. I can finally get a real sear on steaks or boil water for pasta without running inside. Build quality is great and it fit right into my Sunstone outdoor kitchen.

Pam T.★★★★☆July 8, 2016
Good value, works as expected

I'm a contractor and have installed a few of these. They've been consistently good. The drop-in design makes install easy and clients are happy with the brass burner. Reliable, though I've seen slightly more powerful ones at a higher price.

Stella R.★★★★★June 8, 2014
Handy for more than grilling

This single burner has added a lot to my backyard setup. I've fried onions, simmered sauce, even made breakfast out there, and the brass burner gives nice precise heat. A must if you're serious about your outdoor kitchen.

Questions & answers

5 questions answered

Q
I have natural gas in my outdoor kitchen. Does this side burner work with natural gas, or do I need a conversion kit?Asked by Sunstone Support Team
A
It usually comes set up for natural gas, but please check the product specs or contact us to confirm. Burners like this often come with conversion kits or are sold in separate natural gas and propane versions. If you're not sure, check before you hook it up so it runs safely and well.

Q
How do I clean the brass burner and the stainless top?Asked by Sunstone Support Team
A
For the brass burner, let it cool completely, then brush off residue with a brass brush and wipe it with a damp cloth. For the stainless, mild soap and water with a soft cloth is usually enough day to day. For tougher stains or to bring the shine back, use a stainless steel cleaner and wipe with the grain. Covering it when you're not using it cuts down on cleaning a lot.

Q
What's this side burner made of, and how does it hold up outdoors?Asked by Sunstone Support Team
A
It has a 15,000 BTU brass burner, which is very durable and holds heat well. The rest is typically high-grade stainless steel, often 304, which resists rust and corrosion outdoors. With some care, like covering it when you're not using it and cleaning it now and then, it should last for years through all kinds of weather.

Q
What warranty comes with this side burner, and how do I get help if there's a problem?Asked by Sunstone Support Team
A
Coverage details are on our warranty page. Register it after you buy and keep your receipt or order number. If you need help, contact us with your order number and we'll get you sorted quickly.

Q
How hard is it to put this side burner into my existing countertop?Asked by Sunstone Support Team
A
With basic DIY skills it's fairly easy. It drops in, so you'll need a countertop opening cut to the right size (the manual lists it). It also needs to be connected to a natural gas or propane line, which you may want a qualified pro to do for safety and code. Make sure there's enough ventilation too.
