12,000 BTU Brass Ring Burner, SureLight Ignition, Stainless Lid — The Side Burner That Finishes Your Outdoor Kitchen
A proper built-in side burner for sauces, sides, and anything that doesn't belong on the grill grates.
The KoKoMo KO-BAK1BG is a compact built-in side burner designed to complete an outdoor kitchen island. A 12,000-BTU brass ring burner delivers controlled, even heat from a gentle simmer up to a rapid boil — with 8 mm cooking grids for solid support and excellent heat transfer. SureLight blowtorch push-and-turn ignition lights fast and reliably every time, and the included stainless lid lets you hold heat for warming and steaming between uses. Built from 304 stainless steel throughout and available in natural gas or liquid propane, it drops into a dedicated island cutout alongside your primary grill and adds the flexibility your kitchen has been missing.

Who It's For — The Deck & Den Take›
The Deck & Den Take — A side burner is the piece that makes an outdoor kitchen actually function like a kitchen rather than just a grill station. The KO-BAK1BG is a straightforward, well-built option — brass ring burner, SureLight ignition, stainless lid included. It's not complicated, but it does what a side burner needs to do: give you a dedicated flame for sauces, sides, and anything that shouldn't be competing for grate space. If you're building out a KoKoMo island, this matches the lineup in materials and finish. If you already have a side burner position in your island plan, this fills it cleanly.
-
Outdoor kitchen island builders who need a dedicated side burner to complete a built-in setup.
-
KoKoMo grill owners who want a matching side burner in 304 stainless with the same ignition system as their primary grill.
-
Hosts who cook full meals outdoors and need a separate flame for sauces, sides, and warming while the grill handles the main course.
-
NG or LP setups — available in both fuel configurations to match the existing gas supply at your island.
