30,000 BTU Gas Speed, Real Charcoal and Wood Flavor, Plus a 15,000 BTU Infrared Finishing Burner
The Sunstone SUNCHZ30 lets you switch between gas convenience and live-fire flavor without switching grills.
The Sunstone SUNCHZ30 is a 30-inch built-in hybrid grill that runs on gas, charcoal, or wood — individually or together — so you're not locked into one fuel type or flavor profile. Dual bottom gas burners deliver 30,000 BTUs for fast, predictable heat, while a height-adjustable burn tray lets you dial in charcoal or wood intensity for genuine live-fire cooking. A 15,000 BTU infrared back burner adds rotisserie-style finishing power, for 45,000 combined BTUs, and the whole unit is built from 14-gauge 304 stainless steel for long-term outdoor durability.
SUNCHZ30 Features & Benefits
Built for cooks who can't decide between a gas grill and a charcoal pit.

30,000 BTU
Dual Gas Burners, Fast Heat
The two bottom gas burners combine for 30,000 BTUs with electronic ignition, giving you up to roughly 500°F on gas alone — and considerably more once you add charcoal or wood on top.
Height-Adjustable
Charcoal & Wood Burn Tray
Raise or lower the burn tray to control how close charcoal or wood sits to the grates, tuning fuel intensity instead of guessing at airflow alone.
15,000 BTU
Infrared Back Burner
A dedicated infrared back burner adds focused, radiant heat for rotisserie-style roasts and crisp, evenly browned finishes.
800°F+
True Searing Capability
Between the gas burners and added charcoal or wood, surface temperatures can exceed 800°F — enough for a real steakhouse crust, not just a warm sear.
14-Gauge SS
Built for Permanent Installation
14-gauge 304 stainless steel drawers and construction stand up to repeated high-heat use and humid or coastal exposure without warping or pitting.
Lockable
Removable, Lockable Ash Drawer
The charcoal/wood drawer pulls out fully for easy ash cleanup and locks closed for safety and better heat retention during a cook.

Adjustable Venting for Real Airflow Control
Vents on the drawer face, sides, and back hood — including louvered venting at the rear — let you manage oxygen flow for charcoal and wood sessions the same way a dedicated smoker would, instead of relying on the hood alone. A spring-assisted hood keeps everyday operation smooth even with the added weight of a built-in burner system.
Sized to Drop Into a 27 1/2" x 22" x 12 3/4" Cutout
The SUNCHZ30 is built to drop into a 27 1/2-inch by 22-inch by 12 3/4-inch cutout, with an overall footprint of 30 inches wide by 25 3/4 inches deep by 25 3/4 inches tall. Measure your island opening against these numbers before you order so the grill seats flush on install day.
Gas Configuration
The SUNCHZ30 ships configured for liquid propane. Converting to natural gas requires a conversion kit — confirm availability and compatibility with us before you order if you're running natural gas.
Who It's For — The Deck & Den Take
▶
The Deck & Den Take — This is the grill for someone who can't decide between a gas grill and a charcoal pit and doesn't want to choose: run it on gas for a weeknight dinner, then load the burn tray with wood for a weekend cook that actually tastes like it. The infrared back burner is worth using deliberately for rotisserie or finishing — it's not just there as a spec-sheet line.
-
Cooks who want gas convenience for weeknights and real charcoal or wood flavor on weekends, without owning two separate grills.
-
Anyone who wants rotisserie capability built into their primary grill via the infrared back burner.
-
Outdoor kitchen owners who want hands-on airflow control rather than a sealed, single-fuel system.
-
Buyers replacing a basic gas grill who want to start experimenting with live-fire cooking.
-
Hosts running propane now with the option to convert to natural gas later.

Frequently Asked Questions
▶
What fuels can I actually use?
▶
Gas, charcoal, or wood — individually or in combination. The dual bottom burners run on gas, while the height-adjustable burn tray accepts charcoal or wood for additional flavor and heat.
Does this come configured for propane or natural gas?
▶
It ships configured for liquid propane. A conversion kit is required to run it on natural gas — confirm availability with us before ordering if that's your setup.
How hot does it get?
▶
The gas burners alone reach roughly 500°F. Adding charcoal or wood on the burn tray can push surface temperatures past 800°F.
What's the infrared back burner for?
▶
It's a dedicated 15,000 BTU zone built for rotisserie-style roasting and high-impact finishing, separate from the main bottom burners.
What cutout size do I need for installation?
▶
The grill requires a 27 1/2 in. wide by 22 in. deep by 12 3/4 in. tall cutout. Confirm your island's opening against these dimensions before ordering.
How do I clean out the ash after a charcoal or wood cook?
▶
The charcoal/wood drawer is fully removable, so you can pull it out and dump the ash rather than scraping it out in place.
Can I use this for rotisserie cooking?
▶
Yes — the infrared back burner is built to support rotisserie cooking, giving you focused radiant heat for evenly browned roasts.
What's covered under warranty?
▶
Sunstone covers the stainless cooking grids, housings, and gas tube burner for the lifetime of the original purchaser, and other components such as the thermometer, valves, and igniters for one year. Full terms are in the manufacturer's manual.
How much does it weigh?
▶
170 lb on its own — useful to know when planning lift assistance for your island build.
How is the airflow controlled for charcoal or wood cooking?
▶
Adjustable vents on the drawer face, sides, and back hood let you manage oxygen flow much like a dedicated smoker, on top of the height-adjustable burn tray.
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.
