What types of Bonfire burners are available?
Bonfire burners come as built-in single side burners and double side burners. The single is a 12,000 BTU brass drop-in burner; the doubles are rated at 24,000 BTUs across two independently controlled burners. Finishes include 304 stainless steel and black stainless steel, so you can match the burner to the rest of your island.
Should I buy a single or double Bonfire side burner?
Choose a single Bonfire side burner if you mainly simmer sauces or warm sides while the grill does the work. Choose a 24,000 BTU double side burner if you want two independently controlled burners for boiling, frying and cooking two dishes at once. The double takes more island width, so measure your cutout first.
How many BTUs does a Bonfire side burner put out?
Bonfire single side burners are rated at 12,000 BTUs and the double side burners at 24,000 BTUs. That is enough for stockpots, sauces and a fry pan alongside the grill. Every unit is a drop-in design in stainless steel, with LED-lit control knobs and push-and-turn ignition for lighting after dark.
Do Bonfire burners work with natural gas or propane?
Bonfire burners are sold in both natural gas and propane versions, so pick the one that matches the gas supply already run to your island rather than planning a conversion. Confirm the fuel type on the product page before ordering. A Bonfire burner installs alongside Bonfire built-in grills in the same island.
What is a side burner used for in an outdoor kitchen?
A side burner gives you a live gas flame next to the grill for the jobs a grill handles badly: simmering barbecue sauce, boiling corn or pasta, frying, and keeping sides hot while meat rests. Bonfire builds them as drop-in units for island counters, in single and double configurations.
How much should I budget for a Bonfire burner?
Most Bonfire burners fall in the $200 to $500 range, with the black stainless and Prime double models sitting a little above it. Bonfire sits at the value end of the side burner market and still uses 304 stainless construction. Compare across brands in all burners or side burners under $1,000.
