Versatile Grill, Minor Learning Curve

This Sunstone hybrid grill is a beast! I love being able to switch between gas for quick weeknight meals and charcoal/wood for that authentic smoky flavor on weekends. The infrared burner sears steaks beautifully, though it took me a couple of tries to get the timing just right.

Rosa G.★★★☆☆June 1, 2010
Good Features, Pricey Investment

The build quality on this 30-inch unit is solid, as expected from Sunstone. It definitely offers a lot of cooking options with the gas, charcoal, and infrared. My only gripe is the price; for nearly $4000, I expected slightly more intuitive controls, but it performs well once you get the hang of it.

Joy N.★★★★☆May 22, 2025
Great for Entertaining

As a BBQ enthusiast, I'm always looking for ways to elevate my outdoor cooking. This Sunstone hybrid grill delivers! The ability to use charcoal and wood chips alongside the gas burners means I can cater to everyone's preferences, and the 30-inch size is perfect for our family gatherings.

Jesse★★★★★June 7, 2011
The Ultimate Outdoor Cooking Machine!

I've been dreaming of a grill like this for years, and the Sunstone SUNCHZ30 exceeded all my expectations. The combination of gas, charcoal, wood, and infrared in one compact unit is genius. From slow-smoked ribs to perfectly seared tuna, this grill handles everything with ease. It's truly the centerpiece of my outdoor kitchen!

Solid Performer, Easy Installation

I'm a contractor who's installed a few Sunstone products, and this 30-inch hybrid grill was no exception – straightforward to integrate into a custom island. My client loves the flexibility of the gas and charcoal options, and the infrared burner is a nice touch for quick searing. It's a reliable, high-quality unit.

Questions & answers

5 questions answered

Q
Can I use this Sunstone® SUNCHZ30 grill with natural gas, or is it propane only? My current setup is natural gas.Asked by Sunstone Support Team
A
The Sunstone® Series 30” Gas Burners Hybrid Single Zone Charcoal/Wood Burning w/Infra-Red Burner Grill (SUNCHZ30) is typically configured for Liquid Propane (LP) but can be converted to Natural Gas (NG) with an optional conversion kit. You'll need to purchase the appropriate NG conversion kit separately and have it installed by a certified gas technician to ensure proper and safe operation.

Q
With the charcoal/wood burning feature on the SUNCHZ30, what's the best way to clean out the ash and grease? I want to keep it looking good.Asked by Sunstone Support Team
A
Cleaning the Sunstone® SUNCHZ30 is straightforward. After each use, allow the grill to cool, then remove the cooking grates and ash tray for easy disposal of charcoal and wood ash. For grease, utilize a good quality grill cleaner on the stainless steel surfaces and a brass brush for the grates. Regular cleaning will prevent buildup and maintain its pristine appearance.
