Summerset Quest 42” Gas Grill – 4 Burners, 72,000 BTUs & LED Lighting

The required cutout opening is 40½" wide × 19¾" deep × 10¼" high. Download the Cut-Out Sheet and Line Drawing above for contractor-ready reference. If your island is built from combustible materials, the Summerset Insulating Grill Jacket for Quest 42 (GL-42) is required and sold separately.

The four main U-tube burners produce 72,000 BTU combined (18,000 BTU each). The angled infrared rear burner adds 10,500 BTU when in use for rotisserie cooking. All five burners are independently controlled.

The Quest 42 adds a fourth 18,000 BTU main burner (72,000 BTU vs 54,000 BTU), grows the primary cooking area from 673 in² to 785 in², and widens the cutout from 34½" to 40½". That fourth burner gives you a genuine fourth independent cooking zone with its own heat-zone separator — something that changes how you plan and execute multi-course meals. The infrared rear burner, accessory package, lighting suite, hood, and warranty are identical across the Quest lineup.

The Quest 42 includes: rotisserie kit (spit and 40 lb-capacity motor), drop-in stainless steel griddle plate, stainless steel rib rack, smoker box, multi-position warming racks, and a grill cover. The Summerset Insulating Grill Jacket (GL-42) and freestanding cart are sold separately.

Yes — the rotisserie kit comes standard in the box. The motor is rated for up to 40 lbs, sufficient for a whole turkey, a large pork shoulder, a leg of lamb, or a bone-in standing rib roast. It plugs into a standard electrical outlet.

Yes. The grill head can be paired with a Summerset Deluxe Cart for the 42-Inch Quest, sold separately. The cart features folding side shelves, locking caster wheels, storage drawers, and a propane tank access door, converting the built-in head into a fully mobile freestanding station.

If your outdoor island uses combustible materials — wood framing, plastic composites — yes, the Summerset Insulating Grill Jacket for Quest 42 (GL-42) is required by the manufacturer. It provides double-wall insulation to protect surrounding framing from heat transfer. Islands built from non-combustible materials (steel studs, concrete block) with proper clearances may not require it — always confirm against the installation manual and local codes.

A minimum of 14 inches of clearance is required on the right, left, and rear from protected combustible walls — 4 inches of non-combustible material plus an additional 10 inches to any combustible surface. The island enclosure must include ventilation: at minimum a 4-inch vent opening at both the top and bottom. Follow local codes and the full requirements in the user manual.

The Quest 42 is available in Natural Gas (QST42-NG) and Liquid Propane (QST42-LP) — select your fuel type above before adding to cart. Fuel conversion between NG and LP may require a manufacturer-supplied conversion kit and professional installation; contact us before attempting any conversion.

Summerset covers the Quest 42 with their Gold Standard Lifetime Warranty for construction, cooking grates, burners, burner covers, valves, heat zone separators, ceramic briquette systems, and temperature gauges — for the life of the original owner. Electrical components and all other parts carry a three-year warranty. Labor is excluded. The warranty must be registered online within 30 days of purchase and applies to the original purchaser at the original delivery site.

Summerset's warranty does not cover discoloration, surface rust, corrosion, or oxidation resulting from harsh environments, chemicals, or overheating — and coastal, humid, and salt-air environments are subject to manufacturer review. Regular cleaning, proper maintenance, and consistent use of the included grill cover are essential for long-term performance in these conditions.

Yes. Summerset offers a Drop-In Infrared Sear Burner designed specifically for the Quest Series, sold separately. It replaces any one of the four main burners to create a dedicated infrared searing station at 18,000 BTU — useful for finishing steaks with a hard crust or searing proteins at extremely high surface temperatures. Contact us for details on this upgrade.

Each of the four control knobs has a backlit bezel that glows white when that burner is off and shifts to red when it's ignited and active. This gives you an immediate visual read across all four zones simultaneously — critical when you're managing multiple cooking temperatures at once on a large grill. The waterfall LED strip runs the full width of the front panel for ambient lighting during evening sessions.

Ceramic briquette trays sit between the burners and the grates across the full 785-square-inch cooking surface. They absorb and re-radiate heat to smooth out temperature variance between burners and eliminate cold spots at the edges. They also vaporize drippings to add smoky flavor on a gas grill — and they slide out for cleaning after the session rather than requiring you to scrub the burner tubes directly.

Yes. The grease drip tray is removable and dishwasher-safe, keeping post-cook grease management simple even after a long, multi-zone cooking session.
