Double Side Burners for Outdoor Kitchens | Best of Backyard

A double side burner adds serious cooking power and flexibility to an outdoor kitchen. With two independent burners, double side burners allow you to cook multiple items at once—perfect for entertaining, family meals, and more advanced outdoor cooking. At Best of Backyard, we offer premium built-in double side burners designed specifically for outdoor kitchen islands.

Most double side burners on the market are slide-in style units, featuring front-mounted control knobs similar to built-in grills. Only a limited number of models are drop-in style, which sit fully into the countertop with controls on top. Our team helps you choose the correct style based on your layout, cutout requirements, and brand compatibility.

When you contact Best of Backyard, you’ll always speak with a real, knowledgeable expert—never a call center or automated system. We provide 100% human support, 6 days a week.

Is a Double Side Burner Right for Your Outdoor Kitchen?

Double side burners are ideal for homeowners who want more cooking versatility and power than a single burner can provide. They’re especially popular in medium to large outdoor kitchens where multiple dishes are prepared at the same time.

A double side burner may be right for you if you:

• Frequently cook for family or larger groups

• Want to prepare multiple side dishes simultaneously

• Need more power for boiling, frying, or sautéing

• Are building a full-featured outdoor kitchen

Double side burners help you cook complete meals outdoors without crowding your grill.

Slide-In vs. Drop-In Double Side Burners

Understanding the difference between slide-in and drop-in double side burners is critical when planning your outdoor kitchen.

Slide-In Double Side Burners (Most Common)

Slide-in double side burners are the most popular style and are designed to:

• Slide into an island cutout like a built-in grill

• Feature front-mounted control knobs

• Match the look and operation of built-in grills

• Provide easier access to gas connections and controls

Most premium brands primarily offer slide-in double side burners, making them the standard choice for custom outdoor kitchens.

Drop-In Double Side Burners (Limited Models)

Drop-in double side burners are available in fewer models and are designed to:

• Sit fully into the countertop opening

• Have controls located on the top surface

• Offer a cleaner, flush countertop appearance

Because drop-in options are more limited, proper planning is essential to ensure compatibility with your countertop material and island design.

Propane vs. Natural Gas Double Side Burners

Fuel type plays an important role in performance and installation.

Propane Double Side Burners

• Uses liquid propane fuel

• Requires proper ventilation and tank storage solutions

• Ideal when natural gas is not available

Natural Gas Double Side Burners

• Continuous fuel supply

• No propane tank refills

• Best suited for permanent outdoor kitchen installations

Our experts help ensure your burner is matched correctly to your fuel source and local code requirements.

What to Look for in a Double Outdoor Side Burner

When selecting a double side burner, consider these key features:

• BTU Output: Enough power for boiling, frying, and high-heat cooking

• Independent Burner Control: Cook different foods at different temperatures

• Stainless Steel Construction: Outdoor durability and corrosion resistance

• Front Control Design: Especially important for slide-in models

• Protective Lid: Helps protect burners when not in use

• Brand Compatibility: Matches your grill and other outdoor kitchen components

We focus on real-world installation and usability—not just specs.

Popular Uses for Double Side Burners

• Boiling water while sautéing vegetables

• Cooking sauces and side dishes at the same time

• Frying foods outdoors

• Preparing full meals alongside your grill

• Entertaining without overcrowding your main cooking surface

They make your outdoor kitchen more efficient and enjoyable.
