Built for Feasts, Large Cookware, and High-Heat Outdoor Cooking
Some outdoor meals require more than an ordinary side burner. The Summerset Pro Power Burner gives outdoor cooks the concentrated power and broad cookware support needed for large pots, seafood boils, wok meals, sauces, stews, frying, and other demanding recipes.
The burner system combines a 36,000 BTU stainless steel outer burner with a 24,000 BTU brass and aluminum inner burner. This dual-burner design gives you greater control over how heat is distributed beneath the cookware. Use focused heat for smaller vessels and controlled simmering, broader heat for oversized pots, or both burners when maximum output is required.
White LED front-panel lighting helps illuminate the controls during evening cooking. The control-knob lighting changes from white to red when a burner knob is placed in the on position, providing a visible reminder that the control has been activated. The burner flame must still be visually confirmed because the illuminated knob indicates the knob position, not confirmed gas flow or ignition.
With its built-in configuration, stainless steel construction, substantial cooking surface, and high-output burner system, the Pro Power Burner is designed to become a permanent specialty-cooking station within a properly constructed outdoor kitchen.

Installation Requirements
The Summerset Pro Power Burner is designed for permanent built-in installation in an outdoor kitchen. The appliance must be installed according to local codes and the instructions in the manufacturer’s manual.
Outdoor Installation Only
Do not install or operate the power burner inside a building, garage, shed, enclosed area, recreational vehicle, boat, or other moving installation.
Non-Combustible Island
Built-in installations require a properly constructed non-combustible island or enclosure unless an approved insulating solution is used as required for the installation.
Professional Gas Connection
Gas-line sizing, regulator installation, pressure verification, leak testing, and fuel conversion should be completed by a qualified gas professional.
Level Installation
The appliance must be level in every direction. An out-of-level burner can cause irregular combustion and uneven or inefficient heating.
Minimum Side and Rear Clearances
| Adjacent Surface |
Minimum Clearance |
| Non-Combustible Wall |
4 Inches from the left side, right side, and rear |
| Protected Combustible Wall |
14 Inches from the left side, right side, and rear |
| Combustible Wall |
16 Inches from the left side, right side, and rear |
A non-combustible backsplash must maintain at least 4 inches of rear clearance for ventilation. The required clearance must be established before any wall begins behind the appliance.
Outdoor Kitchen Ventilation Requirements
Proper enclosure ventilation is essential for replacement air, heat control, and the dispersal of gas if a connection leaks. The enclosure must either remain open on one side or provide the required permanent ventilation openings.
Minimum Ventilation Openings
- At least four permanent openings
- Two openings positioned near the top
- Two openings positioned near the floor
- Openings spaced at least 90 degrees apart
- At least 10 square inches of free area per opening
- At least 40 square inches of total free ventilation area
Keep Openings Unobstructed
- Maintain at least 6 inches of clearance outside each opening
- Maintain at least 2 inches of clearance inside each opening
- Do not block ventilation with stored items or equipment
- LP installations require low-positioned ventilation because propane is heavier than air
Important Ventilation Warning
Do not operate the power burner in an enclosure that lacks permanent ventilation. Trapped gas or excessive heat can create a fire, explosion, injury, or property-damage hazard.
Overhead Construction and Exhaust Hood Guidance
- Maintain at least 5 feet between the countertop and overhead construction.
- Do not use the appliance beneath unprotected combustible overhead construction.
- An exhaust hood is required when the appliance is installed beneath overhead construction as directed by the manual.
- The hood should extend beyond the cooking area.
- The manual specifies a minimum blower capacity of 1,000 CFM for proper outdoor exhaust.
- The exhaust hood and overhead construction materials must be non-combustible.
Confirm the final exhaust design with the applicable manufacturer instructions, local building requirements, and a qualified outdoor-kitchen professional.
Gas Supply Requirements
Never connect the burner directly to an unregulated gas line. A pressure regulator must be installed, and the supply line must be sized for the combined BTU demand of all gas appliances connected to that line.
