Sunstone SUN13CPRO-HOOD Grill Hood – 13" 304 Stainless
A 75° Vented Hood Converts Your Companion Pro Burner Into a Standalone Grill — Faster Heat-Up, Steadier Airflow, No New Burner Required
The Sunstone SUN13CPRO-HOOD bolts directly onto your existing Companion Pro burner, adding an enclosed cooking chamber, an 800°F temperature gauge, and a warming rack — the difference between an open burner and a true grill station.
The Sunstone SUN13CPRO-HOOD is a 304 stainless steel grill hood upgrade purpose-built for the Companion Pro burner system. Instead of cooking on an open burner exposed to wind and ambient heat loss, the hood encloses the cooking area, traps heat for faster heat-up, and adds a vented back panel that keeps airflow steady during grilling and searing. An 800°F analog temperature gauge mounted on the hood gives you a direct read on chamber temperature without lifting the lid, and the included warming rack adds a dedicated lower-heat zone for holding food or simmering while the main burner keeps cooking. The hood installs directly onto the existing burner base with the included hardware — no new burner, no additional gas connection, no cabinet modification.
What the Hood Adds to Your Companion Pro Burner
The Companion Pro burner is capable on its own — the hood is what turns it into a real grilling station with the airflow control and temperature visibility that an open burner can't match.
Wide-Opening Hood — Easy Access Without Losing Enclosed Heat
A 75-degree opening angle gives full access to the cooking surface for flipping, checking, and plating — while the hood still closes down to trap heat and create the enclosed cooking environment an open burner can't provide.
Built-In Back Venting — Steady Airflow, Faster Heat-Up
The vented back panel must be left open during use per the installation instructions — this is what drives the faster heat-up and steadier airflow the hood is built for. Proper venting keeps the burner breathing correctly instead of smothering it under a sealed enclosure.
Analog Temperature Gauge — Read Chamber Heat Without Opening the Hood
The mounted analog gauge reads up to 800°F, letting you monitor internal chamber temperature at a glance instead of lifting the hood and losing heat every time you want a reading — closer visibility to what's actually happening at the cooking surface.
Included Warming Rack — A Second Heat Zone Without a Second Burner
The included warming rack sits above the main cooking surface as a dedicated holding zone — rest finished food, keep buns warm, or run a gentle simmer while the main grilling surface stays in active use below.
304 Stainless Steel Construction — Matches Your Companion Pro Finish
Built from 304 stainless steel to match the Companion Pro system's existing finish and corrosion resistance — no mismatched materials, no visual seam between the burner and the new hood.
Direct Bolt-On Installation — No New Gas Line, No Cabinet Changes
The hood installs directly onto your existing Companion Pro burner base. Per the manufacturer's instructions: remove the cooking grates, align the hood base to rest on the inside edge of the burner, and remove all four inside screws — the black rubber ring included with the original burner is not used while the hood attachment is installed. Align the hood base screw holes with the lower burner holes and fasten all four screws (two front, two back). Close the hood and confirm it sits stationary with no wiggle; tighten the screws and the hood bolts on either back side if needed. Critically, the vented back panel must be left open during use for proper airflow — this is not optional for correct operation.
Who the Sunstone SUN13CPRO-HOOD Is For
- Existing Companion Pro burner owners who want grill-style enclosed cooking — the hood converts an open burner into a standalone grill station without replacing the burner itself.
- Cooks who want direct temperature visibility while grilling — the 800°F analog gauge reads chamber heat without opening the hood and losing temperature.
- Buyers who want a warming zone without adding a second appliance — the included warming rack adds a holding and gentle-heat zone above the main cooking surface.
- DIY installers comfortable with a simple bolt-on upgrade — installation uses the included screws and hardware with no gas line modification or cabinet changes required.
- Buyers who want a matching stainless finish across their outdoor kitchen — 304 stainless steel construction matches the existing Companion Pro system.

Sunstone SUN13CPRO-HOOD — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the SUN13CPRO-HOOD compatible with?
The SUN13CPRO-HOOD is designed specifically for the Sunstone Companion Pro burner system. It bolts directly onto the existing burner base using the included hardware.
How does the hood install onto the Companion Pro burner?
Remove the cooking grates and align the hood base to rest on the inside edge of the burner. Remove all four inside screws — the black rubber ring from the original burner setup is not used while the hood is installed. Align the hood base screw holes with the lower burner holes and fasten all four screws (two front, two back). Close the hood and confirm it sits stationary with no wiggle, tightening the screws and hood bolts on the back sides as needed.
Does the back vent need to stay open?
Yes — the manufacturer's installation instructions explicitly state the back burner vent must be left open when using the hood. This is required for proper airflow and is what enables the faster heat-up and steadier cooking performance the hood is designed to deliver.
What does the temperature gauge measure and how accurate is it?
The analog gauge mounted on the hood reads up to 800°F and reflects the internal chamber temperature near the hood, giving you a general read on cooking heat without opening the lid. As with any hood-mounted analog gauge, it reflects ambient chamber temperature rather than precise food-surface temperature — use a separate probe thermometer for exact internal food temperatures.
What is the warming rack used for?
The included warming rack sits above the main cooking surface inside the hood and functions as a holding zone or lower-heat area — ideal for keeping cooked food warm, toasting buns, or gently simmering while the main surface below stays in active use.
Do I need a gas line technician to install this hood?
No — the hood is a bolt-on mechanical upgrade to the existing burner housing. It does not involve any gas line, valve, or ignition modification, so no licensed gas technician is required for installation. A screwdriver and the included hardware are sufficient.
What is Sunstone's warranty on the SUN13CPRO-HOOD?
The hood housing, firebox, liners, frames, and all exterior surfaces are warranted for as long as the original purchaser owns the grill against factory defects. The temperature gauge and other components (light assemblies, valves, igniters, springs, wiring) are warranted for 1 year from the original purchase date. Labor is not included.
