Summerset

Summerset Products for Outdoor Kitchens

You’re in the right place if you want an outdoor setup that feels finished and dependable. The Summerset collection at Island in the Sun BBQ is built around the pieces people actually lean on: a strong built-in grill, clean access, and refrigeration that can live outside without complaining.

Summerset products are especially good when you want a polished look, but you still care more about performance than flash.

Why People Start Shopping Summerset

Most shoppers aren’t starting from zero. They’re usually replacing something that didn’t hold up, or upgrading after one too many “temporary” cookouts.

Sometimes it’s the grill that’s the problem. Uneven heat, weak ignition, or a lid that never quite fits right anymore.

Other times it’s the space around the grill. No good storage. No access to utilities. No fridge outside, which means you’re running inside all night while everyone else is hanging out.

Why Choosing the Right Brand Matters

Outdoor kitchens are a little unforgiving. Heat, moisture, and sun will expose weak hardware fast. And once a grill is installed into stone or stucco, you don’t want to be swapping it out because the basics weren’t right.

The best Summerset products feel steady. Doors close cleanly. Burners light without drama. The stainless still looks good after a season of real use.

That’s what makes an outdoor kitchen enjoyable. Not the specs on paper.

How Summerset Works in Real Outdoor Kitchens

This collection brings together the core pieces that make an outdoor kitchen feel complete.

The Summerset Sizzler Pro 32-Inch 4-Burner Built-In Gas Grill with Rear Infrared Burner is a strong choice when you want built-in performance without jumping straight into luxury pricing. It uses 443 stainless steel, which offers solid corrosion resistance for the money. You get four 14,000 BTU #202 stainless steel cast burners, plus heat zone separators so you can cook at different temps at the same time.

One feature we like for long-term ownership is the flame thrower ignition. It doesn’t rely on batteries or electricity, which means fewer “why won’t it light” moments down the road.

It also includes exterior LED lighting, bezel lighting that shifts white to red to indicate burner status, and interior halogen cooking lights. If you’ve ever tried to grill after sunset with a phone flashlight, you’ll appreciate that.

For rotisserie cooking, the 15,000 BTU rear infrared burner is a practical add-on. It’s not just for show. It’s how you get that even, steady heat on a chicken or roast.

The grill is finished with 8mm round stainless cooking grates and an easy-clean briquette system, which helps even out heat and makes cleanup less annoying.

For island access, the Summerset 30-Inch Stainless Steel Double Access Door with Hidden Hinge is one of those “not exciting until you have it” pieces. It’s made from 304 stainless steel and built for a flush mount look, so it sits cleanly in the island. The double-lined interior adds rigidity, which keeps the doors from feeling loose over time. It also matches Summerset styling, which helps the whole kitchen feel intentional.

And for cold storage, the Summerset 24 Inch Outdoor Rated Refrigerator adds everyday convenience. It offers 5 cubic feet of storage, glass shelving, a 304 stainless steel door, interior lighting, and a locking door. It’s the kind of upgrade you notice immediately because you stop running inside for drinks, marinades, and ingredients.

In most built-in installs, yes. They make it easier to reach utilities, storage, and shutoffs safely.

It’s built for outdoor use, which helps it perform better than an indoor fridge placed outside.
