Sunstone Emerald Series 42″ Hybrid Gas/Charcoal/Wood Burning Built-In Grill - EMCHDZ42

Available as Natural Gas (NG), or as Liquid Propane (LP) Appliance is shipped with either NG or LP Regulators and Hose.

    The Sunstone Emerald Series 42" Hybrid Grill (EMCHDZ42) delivers one of the most versatile outdoor cooking experiences available by combining the convenience of gas grilling with the authentic flavor of charcoal and wood cooking in a single luxury built-in appliance. Designed for serious outdoor cooking enthusiasts, this premium hybrid grill allows you to grill, smoke, sear, and slow cook using multiple fuel sources simultaneously.

    Constructed entirely from heavy-duty 14-gauge 304 stainless steel, the EMCHDZ42 is engineered to withstand high temperatures from charcoal and wood burning while providing long-term outdoor durability and corrosion resistance.

    At the core of the system are dual integrated gas burners delivering a combined 35,000 BTUs, positioned beneath the charcoal and wood drawers for easy ignition and temperature maintenance. The innovative dual-zone drawer system allows you to run different heat zones simultaneously—perfect for high-heat searing on one side and low-and-slow smoking on the other.

    The grill features 928 square inches of total cooking space, including a spacious primary grilling surface and secondary warming area. Height-adjustable charcoal trays allow precise heat control, while removable charcoal/wood drawers make fuel replenishment and ash cleanup simple during long cooks.

    Additional premium features include:

    • LED illuminated front control panel
    • Bright halogen interior lighting
    • Spring-assisted hood
    • Adjustable hood and drawer vents
    • Dual-level warming rack
    • Variable rod-spacing stainless steel cooking grids

    The grill is also compatible with optional accessories including pizza stones, griddles, deep fryer inserts, smoker boxes, and rotisserie systems for expanded cooking versatility.

    Why It Stands Out

    The Sunstone EMCHDZ42 is built for outdoor cooks who want the flexibility of multiple cooking styles without needing separate grills. Unlike traditional gas grills, this hybrid system allows you to enjoy authentic wood and charcoal flavor while still benefiting from quick gas ignition and temperature control.

    Its dual-zone design, premium stainless steel construction, and customizable cooking options make it one of the most unique luxury outdoor grills available for high-end outdoor kitchen installations.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What cutout does the EMCHDZ42 need?

    39 1/2" wide, 22" deep and 12 3/4" high.

    The finished grill is 42" wide, 27 1/8" deep and 28" high, so it overhangs the opening by roughly an inch and a quarter on each side.

    How much cooking area do you get?

    928 square inches total: 770 square inches of primary cooking area and 158 square inches of secondary area.

    The cooking grid itself measures 39 1/2" wide by 19 1/2" deep, with variable rod spacing across it.

    How many gas burners are there and what is the output?

    Two integrated gas burners producing a combined 35,000 BTUs. They sit beneath the charcoal and wood drawers, which is how the solid fuel gets lit and held at temperature.

    What does the dual-zone drawer system actually let me do?

    Run two different heat levels at the same time. One drawer can be loaded hot for searing while the other runs low for slow smoking.

    Both charcoal trays are height-adjustable, so each zone is tuned by moving the fire closer to or further from the grates.

    Can I burn wood logs in it, or only charcoal?

    Charcoal, wood chunks or wood logs. The drawers are sized for all three, and they come out for refueling and ash removal during a long cook.

    Is this natural gas or propane?

    Both configurations exist: EMCHDZ42-NG and EMCHDZ42-LP. The grill comes with the regulator and hose matching whichever version you order, so confirm the model suffix against your gas supply before ordering.

    What is the grill built from?

    Heavy-duty 14-gauge 304 stainless steel throughout, chosen to take the sustained heat of charcoal and wood burning as well as outdoor exposure.

    Can I use it after dark?

    Yes. The front control panel is LED illuminated and the interior is lit by halogen lamps, so both the knobs and the cooking surface stay visible.

    How heavy is it, and does my island need to be built for that?

    Approximately 180 to 216 pounds. That is a load your island framing and countertop need to carry across a 39 1/2" opening, so plan the support before the grill arrives.

    What accessories work with it?

    Sunstone lists pizza stones, griddles, deep fryer inserts, smoker boxes and rotisserie systems as optional additions for this grill.

    They are sold separately, so budget them alongside the grill rather than expecting them in the box.

    What are the hood and venting like?

    The hood is spring-assisted, so it takes less effort to lift, and both hood and drawer vents are adjustable for controlling airflow to the fire.

    There is also a dual-level warming rack inside for holding food off the main grid.

    How does it compare to the Sunstone 30-inch hybrid?

    The Emerald 42 is the larger, dual-zone version: 928 square inches, two independent charcoal and wood drawers, and 35,000 BTUs of gas.

    The 30" Hybrid uses a single burn tray and adds a 15,000 BTU infrared back burner for rotisserie, in a 27 1/2" cutout.
