Side burners are a great addition to a gas grill, especially if you’re looking into how to design an outdoor kitchen. Grill side burners allow you to cook extra dishes or heat up sauces without having to go back and forth from the kitchen. They can also help you finish cooking certain meats all the way through without charring them too much on the grill.
When it comes to using a side burner, you’ll find it’s usually like using a burner on a gas stove. But if you want a particularly large burner to accommodate a wok or other specific cooking equipment, you can also find a specialized burner for outdoor kitchen use.
To get the most out of your side burner, make sure that you have outdoor kitchen cabinets and storage nearby to keep pots, pans and cooking utensils. You may also want an outdoor refrigerator so that you can keep food cold before it goes on the grill.
