Fantastic Addition to My Outdoor Kitchen!

I just installed this Sunstone side burner, and it's a game-changer for my outdoor cooking. The 15,000 BTU brass burner really puts out some serious heat, perfect for searing or boiling a big pot of corn while the main grill is busy. It dropped right into my island with no fuss.

Solid Burner, Minor Grumbles

This side burner is a solid piece of equipment, and the brass burner feels really durable. It heats up quickly and evenly, which is great for sauces and side dishes. My only minor complaint is that the ignition can sometimes take a couple of tries to light, but once it's going, it's fantastic.

Linda M.★★★★★June 10, 2025
Ultimate Power and Precision

Wow, this 15,000 BTU burner lives up to its 'ultimate' name! I can finally get a proper sear on steaks or quickly boil water for pasta without having to run inside. The build quality is top-notch, and it fits seamlessly into my Sunstone outdoor kitchen setup.

Mark L.★★★★☆July 8, 2016
Good Value, Works as Expected

As a contractor, I've installed a few of these, and they're consistently good. The drop-in design makes installation straightforward, and clients are always happy with the performance of the brass burner. It's a reliable addition for any outdoor kitchen, though I've seen slightly more powerful units for a higher price point.

Q
I have a natural gas hookup in my outdoor kitchen. Is the Sunstone® Single Drop-In Side Burner compatible with natural gas, or do I need to buy an LP conversion kit?Asked by Sunstone Support Team
A
The Sunstone® Single Drop-In Side Burner – Ultimate 15,000 BTU Brass Burner is typically configured for natural gas from the factory, but it's essential to double-check the product specifications or contact Sunstone directly to confirm.

Q
What's the best way to clean and maintain the brass burner and the stainless steel surface of this side burner to keep it looking new?Asked by Sunstone Support Team
A
For the brass burner, allow it to cool completely, then use a brass brush to remove any residue, followed by a damp cloth. For the stainless steel surfaces, a mild soap and water solution with a soft cloth is usually sufficient for daily cleaning. For tougher stains or to restore shine, a specialized stainless steel cleaner can be used, always wiping with the grain of the steel. Regularly covering the Sunstone® Single Drop-In Side Burner when not in use will also significantly reduce maintenance needs.
