What is Sunstone known for?

Sunstone specializes in stainless steel gas grills, built-in burners, and fully modular outdoor kitchen cabinets and components. The brand is popular for its corrosion-resistant construction and its mix-and-match system that lets you design a custom outdoor kitchen. Start with the Sunstone built-in grills range.

What grade of stainless steel does Sunstone use?

Stainless steel grade varies by product line and by component, and Sunstone offers several finishes across its grills and cabinetry. Rather than assuming a single grade across the brand, confirm the material specification on the individual product page for the model you are considering, or contact us and we'll check it for you. If you want background on why grade matters outdoors, our 304 vs. 443 stainless steel guide explains the difference and where each holds up best.

Are Sunstone grills available in natural gas and propane?

Yes. Most Sunstone gas grills are available in both natural gas and liquid propane configurations, and many models include a conversion option. Always confirm the fuel type before purchasing and have any conversion performed by a qualified technician.

Which Sunstone gas grills are most popular?

The Ruby series covers most outdoor kitchens. The Ruby 30" Built-In Gas Grill RUBY3B suits couples and smaller islands, the Ruby 36" Built-In Gas Grill RUBY4B is the mid-size choice for most homeowners, and the Ruby 42" Built-In Gas Grill RUBY5BIR adds an infrared burner and rotisserie motor for frequent entertaining.

Can I build a custom outdoor kitchen with Sunstone components?

Yes. Sunstone's modular cabinets, doors, drawers, and appliance components are designed to fit together so you can build a fully customized outdoor kitchen. Common building blocks include the Gas Grill Base Cabinet SAC-GLPCD, the 20" Appliance Base Cabinet SAC20CSD, a drop-in single side burner, a 14" insulated ice chest, and storage such as the Classic Series 14" flush-style drawer set, the Classic Series 20" trash drawer and the Classic Series 12" x 12" single access door. Our doors, drawers & storage buying guide helps you plan the layout.

Are Sunstone grills suitable for built-in installations?

Many Sunstone grills are designed specifically for built-in island installations, and the brand also offers freestanding cart options. When building in a grill, always follow the manufacturer's clearance and ventilation requirements to ensure safe operation — our cutout dimensions guide covers the measurements you'll need.

How do I care for and clean my Sunstone grill?

Clean the grates after each use, wipe down the stainless surfaces with a stainless-safe cleaner, and cover the grill with a fitted grill cover when it is not in use. Periodically check burners and connections, and store or protect components during harsh weather to extend the life of your equipment.

Does Sunstone equipment come with a warranty?

Sunstone products are backed by manufacturer warranties that vary by product line and component. Register your product and keep your proof of purchase, see our warranty information page for details, and contact us if you need help understanding the coverage for a specific item.
