Summerset Power Burner Installation
The Power Burner is Summerset's high-output open-flame burner for boiling, frying, and stock-pot cooking. It drops into a dedicated built-in cutout next to the main grill. Install is about 45 minutes once the cutout is framed and gas is stubbed. Draws about 60,000 BTU — plan line sizing accordingly.

Step by step
Verify cutout and gas line sizing
The Power Burner cutout is specified in the Power Burner manual PDF at summersetgrills.com. The burner draws ~60,000 BTU, so the gas line sizing matters more than for a single side burner. On an install sharing a line with a TRL Pro 40 (92,000 BTU), you need a 3/4" line to feed both at full output.
Frame the cavity with ventilation
Same below-cavity ventilation rules as the main grill. Vented panel or open cavity.
Drop in, connect, leak-test
One-person lift (the Power Burner is lighter than a side burner). Seat flush, connect gas with pipe thread sealant on NPT, soapy-water test.
First-fire and flame check
Open the valve and ignite. The Power Burner's flame should be strong and blue across the full ring. Yellow tips on first fire usually mean an orifice obstruction from shipping.
Common mistakes
- Undersizing the gas line on a shared install. A 1/2" line serving a Sizzler Pro 40 (82,000 BTU) plus a Power Burner (60,000 BTU) cannot deliver full simultaneous output. Both appliances starve. Size to total simultaneous BTU.
- Using the Power Burner for wok cooking without a wok ring. The Power Burner's flame is sized for a flat-bottom pot. Rounded woks balance poorly on it. Summerset sells a wok ring accessory that seats the wok correctly over the burner.
Hands-on tips
- A full stock pot on the Power Burner is heavy — frame the countertop around the cutout to carry the load. 40 pounds of water + pot + ingredients is routine.
- If you fry on the Power Burner, keep a Class K fire extinguisher within reach. The high BTU gets oil to smoke point fast.
Questions people ask
Can I use the Power Burner indoors?
No. Summerset power burners are outdoor-rated appliances. Indoor use is a code violation and voids the warranty.
What's the max pot size for the Power Burner?
The Power Burner handles up to a 60-quart stock pot with the proper trivet. For anything larger, you need a commercial-grade outdoor cooker.
