Adding a side burner might seem like a minor detail, but it can significantly enhance your outdoor cooking experience!  

 

Imagine being able to sauté vegetables, boil pasta, or simmer sauces right next to your grill. Not only does this save time, but it also keeps you in the heart of the action, entertaining your guests without missing a moment. 

 

Our team at Synergy Outdoor Living shares why you might need a side burner and how it can make all the difference when entertaining or cooking dinner alfresco

Benefits of Adding a Side Burner to Your Outdoor Kitchen 

 

Imagine the convenience of preparing side dishes, sauces, or even a pot of chili without ever having to go back inside the house. A side burner offers that kind of versatility! A side burner allows you to handle multiple tasks simultaneously, whether you’re sautéing vegetables or boiling pasta. This not only saves time but also keeps all your cooking contained in one area, making it easier to get dinner on the table when you’re grilling.  

 

Another benefit is the ability to maintain precise control over your cooking temperatures. Many high-quality side burners come with adjustable heat settings and can deliver from 10,000-15,000 BTUs, offering you the same capability as an indoor stove.

What to Look for in a Quality Side Burner 

 

When considering adding a side burner to your outdoor kitchen, there are several features you should look for including: 

 

BTU Rating: Check the BTU (British Thermal Unit) rating of the burner. A higher BTU rating, such as 15,000 BTUs, provides greater heat output which is perfect for various cooking tasks, from boiling water to simmering sauces.  

 

Controls and Ignition: Choose a side burner with user-friendly controls and reliable ignition systems. Features like front-mounted controls enable easy operation, while efficient ignition systems minimize startup time and hassle.  

 

By selecting a side burner with these features, you’ll enhance your outdoor setup, making your outdoor kitchen more versatile and enjoyable!
