60,000 BTUs, Intertek Listed, No Electrical Power Required — The Five-Burner Sizzler 40 Is Built for Shared Spaces and Serious Cooks Alike
The Summerset Sizzler 40-Inch delivers five-burner heat, commercial-grade construction, and battery-free ignition — multi-family and commercial application friendly, backed by a lifetime warranty.
The Summerset Sizzler 40-Inch Built-In Gas Grill (SZR40 / SZR40L) is Summerset's five-burner value built-in — a commercial-application-friendly grill that brings maximum cooking surface and reliable daily performance to outdoor kitchens of every kind. Five 12,000 BTU 304 stainless steel tube burners deliver 60,000 BTUs across 666 square inches of primary cooking surface, with a 202 square inch warming rack bringing total area to 868 square inches. Heavy-duty 443 stainless flame tamers protect the burners and distribute heat evenly without ceramic briquettes to maintain or replace. Large, easy-turn control knobs and no-power-required Piezo ignition make the Sizzler 40 as suitable for resort courtyards and apartment rooftop kitchens as it is for a private backyard island. Intertek listed and backed by the Gold Standard Lifetime Warranty.
What Makes the Sizzler 40 the Right Grill for High-Use Outdoor Kitchens
The Sizzler 40 prioritizes reliability, output, and low-maintenance operation over luxury amenities — five burners, no power dependency, and a flame tamer system that requires no periodic replacement. It's the grill you install once and use hard.

5 Burners
60,000 BTU Across Five Independent Zones
Five 12,000 BTU 304 stainless steel tube burners give you 60,000 BTU total across five independently controlled cooking zones — fast preheat, strong heat recovery under load, and the ability to run different temperatures simultaneously without any zone affecting another.
868 in²
Total Cooking Area — Feed a Crowd in One Pass
666 square inches of primary cooking surface backed by a 202 square inch warming rack gives you nearly 868 total square inches — enough to run steaks, chicken, vegetables, and warm-hold bread simultaneously without any food waiting for its turn.
Intertek
Independently Certified for Safety and Commercial Use
The Sizzler 40 carries Intertek listing — independent third-party safety certification — and is designated multi-family use and commercial application friendly by Summerset. Relevant for permitted installations and property managers who need certified appliances for shared outdoor kitchen spaces.
No Power
Piezo Ignition with Flash Tubes — No Batteries, No Outlet
The Piezo ignition with manual flash tube backup starts every burner without batteries or an electrical outlet — making the Sizzler 40 viable for island builds without nearby power, and eliminating the dead-battery reliability gap in multi-user environments where no one keeps track of battery life.
443 SS
Flame Tamers + Double-Lined Hood — Durable, Low-Maintenance Heat Management
443 stainless steel flame tamers sit above the burners, deflecting drippings and distributing heat evenly without the ceramic briquette system used on the Sizzler Pro. Stainless tamers are more durable in high-use environments — they don't chip or need periodic replacement. The double-lined hood prevents heat discoloration and improves cooking efficiency.
8mm Round
Heavy-Duty Grates for a Proper Sear
8mm round stainless steel rod grates hold heat and mass for confident sear marks across the full cooking surface, paired with large, easy-turn control knobs for simple, reliable operation session after session.

Deep Dive — Sizzler 40 vs. Sizzler Pro 40►
Sizzler 40 vs. Sizzler Pro 40 — Choosing the Right Version
The Sizzler 40 and Sizzler Pro 40 share the same 443 stainless body, overall dimensions, and cutout. The key differences are what the Pro adds: cast stainless burners at 14,000 BTU each (vs 12,000 BTU standard tube burners on the base Sizzler), a built-in 15,000 BTU ceramic infrared rear burner for rotisserie, LED white-to-red bezel indicators, and halogen interior lighting — along with a ceramic briquette system in place of the Sizzler's stainless flame tamers. If you need rotisserie or evening lighting, step up to the Sizzler Pro 40. If you need maximum cooking surface and no-power-required operation in a shared-use setting, the Sizzler 40 is the grill to specify.
Who It's For — The Deck & Den Take►
The Deck & Den Take — The Sizzler 40 occupies a specific and useful position in the Summerset lineup: it's the five-burner grill that prioritizes durability and operational simplicity over luxury features, at a price that makes sense for both private homeowners and property managers. The Intertek certification and no-power ignition are genuine advantages if you're specifying for a shared space. For a private residential kitchen, the Sizzler Pro 40 is probably worth the step up for the rotisserie burner and lighting alone — but if those aren't part of your cooking routine and you want maximum cooking area with proven commercial-grade reliability, the Sizzler 40 is a smart, long-term choice.
-
Property managers, HOAs, resorts, and apartment complexes — Intertek certification, no power required, and commercial-application-friendly design make the Sizzler 40 a solid specification for shared outdoor cooking spaces.
-
Residential owners who want maximum five-burner cooking area at a value price — nearly 868 square inches of total cooking surface at a lower price than the Sizzler Pro 40, without the luxury upgrades you may not need.
-
Island builds without electrical access — the Piezo / flash tube ignition requires no outlet or batteries, making the Sizzler 40 a reliable choice for remote island locations.
-
Cooks who prefer simple, durable heat management over ceramic briquettes — the 443 stainless flame tamers require no periodic maintenance or replacement compared to ceramic briquette systems.
-
Buyers who want the largest Summerset cooking footprint without paying for the Pro or TRL Series — the Sizzler 40's 37¾" cutout delivers 868 square inches of total surface at the entry price point of the Sizzler line.
-
Buyers on a defined budget — the Gold Standard Lifetime Warranty at a value price point relative to the TRL Pro and Quest Series.

Frequently Asked Questions►
What are the cutout dimensions for the Sizzler 40?►
The required cutout opening is 37¾" wide × 20¾" deep × 8" high — identical to the Sizzler Pro 40, since both share the same body. Download the Cut-Out Sheet above for contractor-ready reference. A grill liner is required for combustible island installations and sold separately.
How many BTUs does the Sizzler 40 produce?►
Five 12,000 BTU 304 stainless steel tube burners produce 60,000 BTU combined. There is no rear infrared burner on the base Sizzler 40 — a drop-in infrared sear burner is available as a separately purchased optional upgrade that replaces one of the five main burners.
What's the difference between the Sizzler 40 and the Sizzler Pro 40?►
Both share the same 443 stainless body, overall dimensions, and cutout. The Sizzler Pro 40 adds: cast stainless burners at 14,000 BTU each (vs 12,000 BTU tube burners), a built-in 15,000 BTU ceramic infrared rear burner for rotisserie, LED white-to-red bezel burner status indicators, halogen interior cooking lights, and a ceramic briquette system (vs the Sizzler's 443 stainless flame tamers). If you need rotisserie or evening lighting, the Sizzler Pro 40 is the better choice. If you need maximum cooking area with simpler, tougher construction in a shared-use environment, the Sizzler 40 is the right specification.
Is the Sizzler 40 suitable for commercial or multi-family use?►
Yes — Summerset explicitly designates the Sizzler 40 as multi-family use and commercial application friendly. The Intertek safety certification and no-power-required Piezo ignition make it a practical choice for resorts, apartment complexes, HOA shared spaces, and similar settings where a residential-grade grill would require frequent maintenance or replacement.
Does the Sizzler 40 require external power or batteries?►
No. The Piezo ignition with manual flash tube backup fires without batteries or an electrical outlet. The Sizzler 40 has no interior or exterior lighting, so there are no electrical components that require power during operation — making it fully viable for island installations without nearby electrical access.
Does the Sizzler 40 have interior lighting or LED controls?►
No — the base Sizzler 40 has no interior halogen lighting and no LED bezel indicators. These features are exclusive to the Sizzler Pro 40 and higher series. If evening cooking visibility is important to you, the Sizzler Pro 40, TRL Pro 40, or Quest 42 are the better fits.
Can I add a rotisserie or infrared sear burner?►
Yes — both are available as optional upgrades sold separately. The Rotisserie Kit for 40-Inch Sizzler Series Grills is a spit and motor kit that pairs with the grill's warming rack area. The Drop-In Infrared Sear Burner for Sizzler Series Grills replaces one of the five main burners to create a dedicated high-heat infrared searing zone. Contact us for current pricing and availability on both.
Is a grill liner required for built-in installation?►
If your island is built from combustible materials (wood framing, plastic composites), yes — the Summerset Grill Liner for 40-Inch Sizzler / Sizzler Pro Grills is required and sold separately. Islands built from non-combustible materials with proper clearances may not require it; confirm against the user manual and local codes before installation.
What fuel types are available?►
The Sizzler 40 is available in Natural Gas (SZR40) and Liquid Propane (SZR40L) — select your fuel type above before adding to cart. Contact us before attempting any fuel conversion.
What is Summerset's warranty on the Sizzler 40?►
Summerset covers the Sizzler 40 with their Gold Standard Lifetime Warranty for construction, cooking grates, burners, burner covers, valves, and temperature gauge — for the life of the original owner. Electrical components and all other parts carry a three-year warranty. Labor is excluded. Warranty must be registered online within 30 days of purchase; valid for the original purchaser at the original delivery site.
