About SideBurners
We often ask our customers “would you like to add a Side Burner to your project? Most of time the answer is “We had a side burner on our cart grill and never really used it”. The outdoor kitchen functions differently than a cart grill and with the additional counter space it allows you to prep and cook more items comfortably keeping the mess and smells outside. Adding a side burner to your Outdoor Kitchen project will add functionality and allow you to prepare a complete meal. My first outdoor kitchen didn’t have a side burner, my second outdoor kitchen has a double side burner and I purchased a griddle to go over it with a grease trap. It is fantastic for bacon and eggs on a summer morning.
Burners are typically divided into 3 categories
• Side Burners provide 10-30,000 BTUs, (About the same as your inside gas range) great for cooking pasta, corn, making sauces and keeping meals warm.
• Power Burners provide up to 100,000BTUs and are used to heat large pots and also steaming crabs.
• Sear Station Burners are for fast intense heat up to 1200F for searing meats to lock in the natural flavors.
