Dual 30,000 BTU Infrared Burners That Grill, Sear, Griddle, and Fry — One Compact Burner, Five Cooking Styles
The Sunstone Ruby Series SUN13CPRO slides into your island and expands what your outdoor kitchen can actually do.
The Sunstone Ruby Series SUN13CPRO is a 13-inch built-in infrared companion burner designed to extend your outdoor kitchen without taking up a full grill bay. Dual infrared burners deliver up to 30,000 BTUs for fast heat-up and intense searing, and the base unit ships with a 304 stainless steel rod cooking grid and flavorizer warming rack — with optional upgrade inserts available if you want to expand what it can do even further.
SUN13CPRO Features & Benefits
A compact burner with room to grow as your cooking style does.
30,000 BTU
Dual Infrared Burners
Two infrared burners deliver up to 30,000 BTUs combined for fast heat-up and intense, restaurant-style searing — a dedicated hot zone that keeps your main grill free for the centerpiece.
304 SS
Rod Cooking Grid Included
The base burner ships with a 304 stainless steel rod cooking grid for even heat distribution, ready to use out of the box without ordering any upgrade inserts.
Built to Expand
Optional Upgrade Inserts
Sold-separately inserts — a solid steel griddle, charcoal tray, deep fryer with basket, and a high-heat searing grate rated up to 1200°F — let you turn this burner into a griddle, smoker, fryer, or sear station as your cooking style evolves.
What's Included in the Box
▸
In the Box
- SUN13CPRO companion burner unit (liquid propane or natural gas, per your fuel selection)
- 304 stainless steel rod cooking grid
- Flavorizer warming rack
- Removable protective cover
- Hose and regulator, pre-configured for your selected fuel type
Sold separately: solid steel griddle insert, charcoal burn tray insert, deep fryer insert with basket, Pro-Searing grate insert (up to 1200°F), and the Companion Pro Hood (converts the unit into a standalone griller).
Deep Dive — Back Vent, Hood Option & Fuel Types
▸
Designed With a Built-In Back Vent
A back venting system supports proper airflow and faster heat-up. If you add the optional Companion Pro Hood to turn this into a standalone, wind-resistant griller, make sure the back vent panel stays open for the same reason.
Choose Your Fuel Type
The SUN13CPRO is available in liquid propane (SUN13CPRO-LP) or natural gas (SUN13CPRO-NG) configurations — select your fuel type above to match your existing gas line.
Who It's For — The Deck & Den Take
▸
The Deck & Den Take — Most companion burners are one-trick side burners; this one is closer to a Swiss Army knife. If you think you'll eventually want the griddle or deep fryer insert, it's worth ordering the base unit now and adding inserts as your budget allows — the burner itself doesn't change, so there's no rush to buy everything at once.
-
Cooks who want one compact burner to handle searing, griddle breakfasts, and frying instead of three separate appliances.
-
Outdoor kitchen owners short on counter space who still want real cooking versatility.
-
Anyone planning to add a Companion Pro Hood later, turning this into a standalone griller for a patio or smaller footprint.
-
Hosts who cook after dark and want LED-lit controls instead of guessing by feel.
-
Buyers replacing a basic single side burner who want more than just simmer-and-boil capability.

Frequently Asked Questions
▸
What's the difference between the LP and NG versions?▸
SUN13CPRO-LP runs on liquid propane and SUN13CPRO-NG runs on natural gas. Both share the same burners, dimensions, and features — select the fuel type that matches your existing gas line.
How many BTUs does the SUN13CPRO produce?▸
The two infrared burners produce a combined 30,000 BTUs.
What comes with the base unit versus what's an upgrade?▸
The base unit includes the 304 stainless steel rod cooking grid, the flavorizer warming rack, and a removable cover. The griddle, charcoal tray, deep fryer, Pro-Searing grate, and Companion Pro Hood are all separate, optional purchases.
Can I add the griddle or deep fryer insert later?▸
Yes — the inserts are designed to drop into the same base burner, so you can start with the standard cooking grid and add inserts whenever you're ready.
Does it come with a hood?▸
Not standard — the Companion Pro Hood is sold separately and converts this built-in burner into a standalone, wind-resistant griller if you want that flexibility.
What cutout size do I need for installation?▸
The unit requires an 11 in. wide by 22 in. deep by 10 1/2 in. tall cutout. Confirm your island's opening against these dimensions before ordering.
What's covered under warranty?▸
Sunstone covers the stainless rod cooking grid, stainless steel housings, and the infrared burner with ceramic plates for the lifetime of the original purchaser, and other components such as gas valves and igniters for one year. Full terms are in the owner's manual above.
What's the back vent panel for?▸
It supports proper airflow and faster heat-up. If you install the optional Companion Pro Hood, keep this vent panel open for the same reason.
How is this different from the Sunstone double side burner (SUN13VDB)?▸
The SUN13VDB uses two standard gas burners for boiling, sautéing, and simmering. The SUN13CPRO uses infrared burners and supports upgrade inserts (griddle, fryer, searing grate), making it the more versatile, multi-technique option of the two.
What if it doesn't fit my island?▸
If the unit doesn't fit your cutout or isn't right for your setup, it's covered by Deck & Den's 45-day return policy — just contact us before sending it back.
