Frequently Asked Questions

What types of RCS burners are available?

RCS builds three kinds of built-in burner. The Cutlass single side burner RSB1 puts out 12,000 BTUs for sauces and sides, the double side burners run two burners at 24,000 BTUs combined, and the power burners reach 60,000 BTUs. All drop into an outdoor kitchen island alongside a head from RCS built-in grills.

What is the difference between an RCS side burner and an RCS power burner?

An RCS side burner tops out at 24,000 BTUs across two burners and is sized for simmering, steaming and side dishes next to the grill. An RCS power burner delivers 60,000 BTUs from a single station, which is what you need for a seafood boil, wok cooking, deep frying or a large stockpot.

What is a wok ring on an RCS power burner for?

The wok ring on the RCS Cutlass Pro RSB3A and Cutlass Elite CSB3 power burners supports a round-bottomed wok directly over the 60,000 BTU flame. Without it a round wok will not sit stable on a flat grate. The ring lifts off when you want to use conventional flat-bottomed pots and pans.

What is the difference between RCS Premier, Cutlass Pro and Cutlass Elite burners?

All three RCS lines offer a 24,000 BTU double side burner and a 60,000 BTU power burner, so output is comparable across them. The Premier L Series double side burner adds LED-lit control knobs for cooking after dark, and the Cutlass Elite units are built from 304 stainless steel.

Do RCS burners run on natural gas or propane?

RCS burners are available in natural gas and propane configurations. Confirm which supply your outdoor kitchen runs before ordering and choose the matching model, or plan for the correct conversion fittings. The configuration is listed on each product page, alongside every other brand in burners.

Are RCS burners built-in or portable?

Every RCS burner in this collection is a built-in unit designed to drop into an outdoor kitchen island or countertop, not a portable appliance. Check the exact cutout dimensions on the product page before you frame the opening, and leave the specified clearance for ventilation around the burner housing.

How to Choose

Start by deciding how much cooking capacity you need. A single side burner, like the RCS Cutlass RSB1 with 12,000 BTU, is great for simmering sauces, sides, and small batches. The RCS Premier L Series Double Side Burner adds 24,000 BTU and two cooking zones, so you can run multiple dishes at once.

Next, confirm your fuel type and cutout. These are built-in burners, so you will need to match the burner to your fuel supply (natural gas or propane) and cut an opening that fits the unit. Always check the exact cutout dimensions on the product page and leave proper clearance and ventilation around the burner.

Finally, look at the build quality. RCS burners are built from heavy-duty stainless steel that holds up to outdoor conditions, and features like LED-lit control knobs make them easy to use after dark, giving you durable, professional-grade performance season after season.

Expert Advice

Pro tip: A single side burner is great for sauces, sides, and small batches, while a double side burner gives you more room to cook multiple items at once. Confirm your fuel type (natural gas or propane) and measure your island cutout before ordering.
