Sunstone SCPBIGTEX21 Size 21 ft Outdoor Kitchen Island

No. The SCPBIGTEX21 Big-Texan package includes all appliances and modular base cabinets but does not include a countertop. You will need to source and install your own countertop material — concrete, granite, porcelain, tile, and stainless are all common choices for outdoor kitchens.

Yes. The Big-Texan is available in Natural Gas (NG) and Liquid Propane (LP). Select your fuel type from the options above before adding to cart. A gas conversion guide is also included in the documents section if your gas supply changes.

The full island measures 252 inches (21 feet) wide by 28-1/4 inches deep, with a cabinet height of 34-1/2 inches (with adjustable peg legs). Height is adjustable up to 36 inches maximum. Add countertop thickness on top of the cabinet height for your finished counter height. Total shipping weight is 1,240 lbs.

The package includes the SBC3C45 45-degree corner cabinet, which enables L-shape, U-shape, and angled corner configurations. Two SBC3C45 units placed side by side create a 90-degree corner; one unit placed with straight cabinets on either side creates a 45-degree angle. The modular nature of the system gives you significant layout flexibility.

Sunstone's cabinets use a snap-together pin-lock system with adjustable leveling legs. Most homeowners with basic tools and a helper can assemble the cabinets without a contractor. The Cabinet Island Install Guide is available in the Manuals and Documents section above. Note that running gas lines, water supply and drain plumbing, and electrical wiring to the island will typically require licensed tradespeople in most jurisdictions.

The 21" outdoor refrigerator (SAPFR21PRO) requires a GFCI-protected electrical outlet and at least 4"–6" of rear clearance for airflow. The SUN13CPRO Companion Pro griller has an LED lighting connection on the left underside. The SBC6SPEL 6" electrical spacer cabinet in this package provides a 1-gang interior electrical box for a switch or outlet. Consult a licensed electrician for all wiring and GFCI installation.

Both grills require a minimum of 24 inches of clearance to any combustible material. The EMCHDZ42 main grill requires at least 6-1/2" between the back cut-out line and any wall, a minimum of 36" from the counter to any overhead vent hood, and at least 8 feet of clearance from the floor to any overhead structure. The SUN13CPRO requires a minimum of 5 feet from the counter surface to any overhead combustible material and 8 feet from floor to any overhead structure. Island structure must be non-combustible. Refer to the individual spec sheets and install guides for the full set of clearance tables.

A minimum of two air-flow vents are required in the island structure for each gas grill. For Natural Gas installations, vents must be placed in elevated (high) positions. For Liquid Propane installations, vents must be placed in lowered (low) positions. Failure to provide proper ventilation may void the grill warranty. The Ruby Grill Install Guide (available in the documents section) provides exact vent size and position specifications.

The 42" Emerald Series EMCHDZ42 gas-hybrid charcoal grill delivers 35,000 BTU from its gas ignition system. The 13" Ruby Series SUN13CPRO Companion Pro Griller delivers 22,000 BTU across its two infrared burners. Together the two grills give you 57,000 BTU of gas-fueled heat across two independent cooking zones, plus the additional heat contribution of any charcoal or wood added to the EMCHDZ42's dual-zone drawer system.

Yes. The SUN13CPRO accepts interchangeable inserts, including the included flavor rack and cooking grate as well as optional solid steel griddle, charcoal tray, pro-sear rack, and commercial deep fryer inserts. These optional inserts are sold separately. The same insert system is compatible with other Sunstone Companion Pro and griller models, so inserts are interchangeable across the lineup.

The EMCHDZ42 uses a two-zone approach: a gas burner system with electronic ignition handles start-up and temperature control, while a separate charcoal and wood drawer underneath the cooking grates lets you load wood chunks or charcoal mid-cook. The drawer design allows you to replenish fuel without opening the main cooking area or disrupting the cook. This gives you the ability to dial in smoke flavor incrementally rather than committing fully to one fuel type from the start.

The SBC18DPIC is an 18" cabinet with two drawer functions in one unit. The top drawer is a tilt-out paper towel and cutlery drawer with a cutting board. The lower drawer is a double-walled insulated dry storage drawer with weather stripping, a drain, and a flexible drain hose. The drain hose attaches to a standard garden hose connection on the back of the cabinet. This is an unrefrigerated dry storage and prep station, not a powered ice maker or refrigerator.

The SAPFR21PRO refrigerator drops into the SCC21SPE appliance cabinet cut-out and connects to a standard GFCI-protected electrical outlet. In most installations, a licensed electrician is needed to run the outlet to the island location if one does not already exist nearby. Once power is available, the refrigerator itself is plug-in. Leave 4"–6" of rear clearance for the motor and fan; keeping that space free of debris is critical for proper operation.

All cabinets in this package are built from 304-grade stainless steel throughout — door panels, cabinet box, and shelves are all 18 gauge. Handles are solid 304 stainless steel rod. 304 stainless is the food-service standard alloy; it is highly corrosion-resistant in outdoor environments and maintains its appearance with proper cleaning (see the Stainless Steel Cleaning Guide in the documents section).

Sunstone Metal Products provides a lifetime structural warranty on all modular base cabinets. The sink (B-PS21) carries Sunstone's 3-year warranty on structure and finish, and a 1-year warranty on the faucet, handle, drain, and other components. Grill and refrigerator warranties are also provided by Sunstone; refer to the individual product manuals for exact terms. All warranty coverage is honored directly by the manufacturer, Sunstone Metal Products — not by Deck & Den. Labor is not included in any warranty.

Sunstone offers several upgrade options on the Big-Texan. The SAC46CGDC can be swapped for the SAC46GLPCD (no extra charge) to accommodate the Ruby Series 42" Pro Sear Gas Grill instead of the hybrid charcoal grill. The SAC20CSDR right-swing door cabinet can be swapped for the SAC20CSDL left-swing variant at no extra charge. Contact Deck & Den before ordering if you want to explore customization options for your layout.

The B-PS21 Premium Drop-In Sink requires a countertop cut-out of 18-1/4" W x 18-1/4" D x 9-1/2" H. The sink sits in the SBC24CDD 24" Double Door Base Cabinet, which includes a removable top drawer that can be replaced with a false panel for sink installation — follow the installation sequence in the SBC24CDD spec sheet before assembling the cabinets if you plan to use the sink.

At 1,240 lbs, the Big-Texan ships via freight on a pallet. Deck & Den offers free freight shipping on orders over $100 to the contiguous 48 states. Freight deliveries are typically curbside — the carrier delivers to the nearest accessible location near your driveway or garage. Some carriers schedule a delivery appointment window and require your signature; others deliver without an appointment. You will receive details in your shipping confirmation email. A helper and a pallet jack or forklift will make unloading significantly easier given the package weight.

The island itself is built for outdoor use. For covered installations, a vent hood is required above gas grill appliances in any enclosed or overhead structure. The EMCHDZ42 grill spec sheet requires a minimum clearance of 36" from the counter to the bottom of an outdoor vent hood, and a minimum of 8 feet from floor to any overhead structure. For fully enclosed structures, a vent hood over the grill is mandatory. Always confirm your specific overhead clearances against the spec sheets before completing a covered outdoor kitchen build.

Use the included Stainless Steel Cleaning Guide (available in the documents section) for specific procedures. In general: always wipe in the direction of the steel's grain using a soft cloth; avoid abrasive pads or chloride-based cleaners that can pit the surface; rinse any salt or mineral residue promptly, especially in coastal environments. Regular cleaning preserves the 304 stainless finish and helps it maintain its appearance over the long term.
