Cooking Outdoors

Side burner recommendation

10 years ago

I am looking for a side burner to put in our outdoor built-in kitchen. Looking for something more powerful than a 15,000BTU (heard from friends that a 15,000btu is not really good for blackening fish or frying outside). Any recommendation on one that you like that is also not way too expensive.

Not sure if this is an option for you but I bought my grill before side burners were in vogue and I often found myself needing another appliance to cook things off of the grill surface. Since my grill is near an electric outlet I bought an electric hot plate.

I know DCS has some that are 17,500 but that is the biggest btu side burner I have seen. Does 2,500 more BTUs make that much difference....id like to know.

They make power burners that put out more...like 60k btus but they are bigger single burner styles.

Need: 6 burner double oven Gas Range...Which do you recommend?

You don't mention what width of range you are talking about so I'll assume a 36" since 48 and 60 inch dual ovens are easier to find. The one that comes to mind for me is "Fratelli Onofri" [Onofri Brothers] an Italian maker that imports dual fuel 90cm (35.5") ranges to the US. They sell twin oven variants in each of their lines and they are not really that expensive. Although I think Bertazzoni is a superior range from an industrial design and workmanship standpoint, the Onofri's are still pretty darned stylish and might fit your needs. Check them out.

Recommendation for a 36" gas 4 sealed burner cooktop with grill
Q

Yes we do have one now - a GE Monogram - but we are moving. It is a PITA to clean but I have that pretty much worked in to my routine. We have a 900 cfm in line exhaust fan which works well when I open a window - which is fine with me. One conclusion my ife came to while looking for one on -line is that they dont seem to come with a cover for the grill anymore. Even when clean the grill is not particularly attractive. Do the Bluestar and Wolf come with a grill cover?

1. I don't own either, so I can't comment on more than noted here. A 1200 CFM rating (neither will achieve this flow rate) should be sufficient, depending on many factors you can read about reviewing hood related threads on this forum. 2. Deeper (front-to-back) is always better for plume capture, so long as the hood is mounted high enough that it doesn't block one's view when cooking. 3. MUA in many municipalities is required by code. The MUA is intended to keep house pressure from falling too much and back-drafting combustion appliances, if present. Else, there may be a carbon monoxide hazard. MUA also is necessary for the hood system blower to reach a desirable fraction, say 2/3, of its rated (zero static pressure) flow rate.

Napoleon has an infra red side cart burner that will have no problem getting you to temperature and fast. Lynx has a built in side burner that goes to 46,000 BTU and a dual 15k side cart burner (crazy $ though).

I'm unsure what my DCS burner output is, however I used it for the first time yesterday and it boiied water more quickly than my DCS cooktop in the kitchen. Mine came free on a promo with the bbq, however yesterday was the first time I put it to the test. FYI it's a double sideburner.
