Description

The Sunstone 42" 5-Burner Built-In Gas Grill w/IR (SUN5BIR) is a grill for an outdoor kitchen island, sized for large patio gatherings. It comes in natural gas or liquid propane.

Five burners put out up to 100,000 BTU across the 42" grilling area for zone cooking and searing. An infrared rotisserie burner (up to 15,000 BTU) roasts meats evenly, and a built-in smoker box and warming rack are included. The grates are 3/8" 304 stainless steel rods.

The grill is 304 stainless steel. Electronic ignition, interior lights for evening grilling and a roll-along drip tray for cleanup are standard. It hangs free in the island for airflow, so the island needs proper ventilation as described in the Sunstone Gas Grill Manual.

Absolutely Love This Grill!

This Sunstone 5-burner grill is a game-changer for our outdoor kitchen. The infrared burner sears steaks perfectly, and the overall build quality is incredibly solid. It was a breeze to install into our existing setup, and the natural gas option is so convenient.

Lane P.★★★★★July 31, 2020
Perfect for Entertaining

We host a lot, and this 42-inch grill handles everything we throw at it, from burgers to whole chickens. The even heat distribution across all five burners is fantastic, and cleanup is surprisingly easy. Sunstone really delivered a premium product here.

Bryan V.★★★★★October 19, 2020
Built Like a Tank, Cooks Like a Dream

As a contractor, I appreciate good craftsmanship, and this grill doesn't disappoint. The stainless steel is heavy-duty, and the infrared burner is a fantastic addition for getting that perfect crust. It integrated seamlessly into our custom outdoor kitchen island.

Good Grill, Minor Quibbles

The cooking performance of this Sunstone grill is excellent, especially the infrared burner. However, for the price, I expected the grates to feel a bit more substantial. Also, the igniters can be a little finicky sometimes, requiring a couple of tries to light.

Val O.★★★☆☆October 17, 2017
Solid Performance, High Price Tag

This 5-burner grill cooks really well and the infrared feature is a nice touch for searing. It looks great in our outdoor kitchen, but honestly, the cost felt a bit steep. I'm hoping the durability lives up to the premium price over the long run.

Q
My current outdoor kitchen is pretty basic. Will this SUN5BIR grill work with any countertop material, or do I need something specific to handle the heat?Asked by Sunstone Support Team
A
The Sunstone® 5-Burner 42-Inch Built-In Infrared Gas Grill is designed to be installed into various outdoor kitchen structures. While it has excellent insulation, it's always best to ensure your countertop material, like granite, concrete, or stainless steel, is rated for high heat. Make sure your island construction provides adequate ventilation to prevent heat buildup in the cabinet below.

Cleaning the Sunstone® 5-Burner 42-Inch Built-In Infrared Gas Grill is designed to be simple.

Regular cleaning after each use will keep your SUN5BIR performing optimally.
