FAQs
Summerset Grills provides a strong warranty package. A limited lifetime warranty is typically offered on the construction and manufacturer defects for the stainless steel housing, cooking grates, and main burners. Other components, such as valves and ignition systems, carry shorter, limited coverage periods (e.g., one to five years). Always refer to the specific grill model’s manual for full details.
Built-in grills generate significant heat, so safe clearance is critical. The manufacturer’s manual will specify exact clearances, but typically, a built-in grill requires the use of an approved insulated jacket when being installed into a combustible enclosure (like wood-framed cabinetry) to maintain a zero-clearance tolerance. If installed in masonry or non-combustible materials, the insulated jacket may not be required.
Yes, Summerset grills are generally designed to be convertible between NG and LP gas types. However, this conversion should only be performed by a licensed gas contractor or installer. The process involves replacing the regulator and changing out the gas valve orifices to match the specific BTU flow rate required for the new gas source.
The Sizzler series is generally the entry-level high-performance line, offering excellent heat and construction quality. The T-Grill (e.g., T-Series or American Muscle Grill) often represents an upgrade, featuring higher-grade stainless steel, more powerful main burners (sometimes including cast stainless steel), advanced heat distribution systems, and more comprehensive features like rotisserie and heavier-duty hoods.
