I recently invited my friends for a BBQ to celebrate my newly built outdoor kitchen. I was surprised when one of my friends asked me why I didn’t have a side burner on the gas grill of my kitchen. My friend told me that they have a side burner on their grill and its is hugely useful. Now I am wondering whether I need a side burner in my outdoor kitchen.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is not necessary to have a side burner as you already have a grill for this purpose. The grill’s main grate is usually all you need for grilling food and delicious BBQ’S. However, a side burner does come in handy. You can use a side burner for warming or cooking vegetables or dishes while grilling meats.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At a recent BBQ with my friends, I was asked why I didn’t have a side burner for my griller. I got intrigued when I heard about all the different uses there are for a side burner, and I started thinking that maybe I should have a side burner added to the griller of my outdoor kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n

Do I Need A Side Burner In My Outdoor Kitchen?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Grills have a main grate where you can cook the food and grill the delicious meats for your BBQ’S. Many grills have additional cooking grates on the side of the grill, known as side burners. Although side burners aren’t necessary for your outdoor kitchen, they are handy when cooking food in your outdoor kitchen.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your choice will depend on the meals you prepare on your outdoor gas griller. If you do not cater to many people but like to entertain, you can only use your gas griller for grilling or BBQing meat. You will not require a side burner in this case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Is The Purpose Of An Outdoor Kitchen Side Burner<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A side burner’s purpose is to assist you with your outdoor cooking requirements. A side burner is designed for outdoor kitchens rather than for indoor kitchens. A side burner is similar to an indoor kitchen’s stovetop burner.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Side burners are heated with a separate flame from the flame used for the cooking on the main grate of your grill. You can adjust the cooking temperatures by lowering or raising the setting on the side burner without affecting the main grill’s temperature.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main purpose of a side burner is to assist you with your cooking and is used as a backup cooking surface. When having a large BBQ or cooking large meals, a side burner becomes handy as you can cook your side dishes<\/strong> on the side burner while your meat is being grilled on the main grill grate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Side meals cooked on your side burner can be anything you want to cook as an extra serving<\/strong> with your BBQ, including the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
