Single Single Burner FAQs
What is a single side burner used for in an outdoor kitchen?
A single side burner is perfect for sauces, sides, or boiling small pots while you grill. It adds flexibility by keeping all your cooking outdoors. Compact in design, it delivers convenience without taking up valuable countertop space.
Do I need a single side burner if I already have a grill?
Yes, many outdoor cooks find a side burner useful even with a full grill. It keeps all cooking outside, saves trips indoors, and lets you prepare extras like stir-fries, vegetables, or warming sauces at the same time.
What is the difference between a single side burner and a power burner?
A single side burner typically produces around 15,000 BTUs and is compact, ideal for sauces or sides. A power burner is much larger, reaching up to 60,000 BTUs, perfect for woks, boiling seafood, or high-heat cooking outdoors.
How many BTUs should a single side burner have?
Most single side burners provide 12,000–20,000 BTUs, enough for everyday cooking tasks. Higher BTUs heat faster and handle bigger pots, while lower BTUs offer more control for delicate sauces and side dishes.
Are single side burners available in propane and natural gas?
Yes, most single side burners come in both propane and natural gas models. Choose propane for flexibility and portability, or natural gas for a steady, endless fuel supply in a built-in outdoor kitchen.
Do single side burners come with warranties?
Yes, warranties vary by brand. Blaze offers a lifetime warranty, Alfresco and Twin Eagles also provide lifetime coverage on key parts, while Coyote and Summerset offer strong long-term protection. These warranties ensure lasting performance and support for your investment.
