Summerset Quest 42” Gas Grill – 4 Burners, 72,000 BTUs & LED Lighting
72,000 BTUs, Four Zones, 785 Square Inches — The Quest 42 Is Built for Serious Outdoor Kitchens
Summerset's flagship Quest built-in gives you four independent cooking zones, infrared rotisserie, and a complete accessory suite — all in 304 stainless steel, made in the USA, backed by a lifetime warranty.
The Summerset Quest 42-Inch Built-In Gas Grill (QST42-NG / QST42-LP) is the largest and most powerful grill in the Quest Series — a four-burner, 304 stainless steel built-in engineered for outdoor kitchens that cook at scale. Four 18,000 BTU U-tube main burners put 72,000 BTUs across a 785 square inch primary cooking surface, giving you four fully independent heat zones that let you sear, roast, warm, and hold simultaneously without any compromise. A 10,500 BTU angled infrared rear burner powers the included 40 lb-capacity rotisserie kit for whole birds and large roasts. The drop-in griddle, smoker box, and rib rack come in the box, the LED lighting suite keeps you cooking long after sunset, and the Gold Standard Lifetime Warranty means you're protected for the long haul. If you have the island space for a 42-inch cutout, this is the grill that fills it correctly.
Why the Quest 42 Is the Grill Serious Outdoor Cooks Wait For
Four burners. Four zones. Nearly 800 square inches of cooking real estate. Everything else in the Quest lineup leads here — the 42-inch is built for the cooks who want maximum capacity, maximum versatility, and zero compromise.
Four Independent Burners, Instant Recovery
Four 18,000 BTU 304 stainless U-tube burners give you more total output than any other grill in the Quest lineup — meaning faster preheats, faster temperature recovery when cold food hits the grates, and enough headroom to run high heat and low heat in the same session without either zone suffering.
Cook a Full Spread in One Pass
785 square inches of primary cooking surface across a 40¼" × 19½" grid — enough room to simultaneously run a sear zone for steaks, a medium-heat zone for fish, and a low zone for sides, with space for the rotisserie spit engaged at the same time.
Infrared Rear Burner for True Rotisserie Results
The angled infrared rear burner radiates intense, even heat directly at the spit as it turns, self-basting a whole turkey, leg of lamb, or bone-in prime rib in its own juices until the skin is perfectly crisped and the center is done — without drying out from direct flame contact.
True Multi-Zone Cooking with Zero Compromise
Stainless heat-zone separators between each burner create four genuinely isolated temperature zones — no heat bleed between zones — so you can sear a ribeye, roast a whole chicken, hold your sauces warm, and smoke your vegetables all at the same time on the same grill.
Complete Cooking System Right Out of the Box
Grill, rotisserie, griddle, smoke, and slow-cook — the 40 lb-capacity rotisserie kit, drop-in griddle plate, smoker box, rib rack, and grill cover all come standard. You're not budgeting for accessories before your first weekend with this grill.
Commercial-Grade Build That Goes the Distance
Every component — firebox, hood, handle, grates, and burners — is 304 stainless steel, the same alloy used in commercial kitchens for its corrosion resistance and structural integrity. It holds up in coastal climates, high-humidity environments, and heavy weekly use without the surface degradation you see from lesser alloys.
Ceramic Briquette System — Even Heat Across All Four Zones, Better Flavor Every Time
Beneath the grates, ceramic briquette trays span the width of the firebox. They absorb and redistribute heat from each burner evenly, eliminating the temperature variance that causes uneven cooking across a large surface. They also vaporize grease drippings on contact, generating the kind of smoky flavor traditionally associated with charcoal or wood — on a gas grill, every session. And when the cook is over, the trays slide out for a quick clean rather than requiring a scrub of the burner tubes themselves.
16-Inch Hood Clearance — Space for the Biggest Cuts You Can Put on a Spit
The 18-gauge double-lined, spring-assisted hood opens to 16 inches of interior clearance — enough vertical space for a whole turkey, a large pork shoulder, or a 40 lb load on the rotisserie without the lid interfering. The double-wall design prevents exterior heat discoloration so the hood stays looking clean, and holds steady convection temperatures for more predictable roasting. The analog thermometer mounted in the lid gives you a read on hood temperature without lifting it and losing heat.
Lighting and Safety That Let You Cook With Confidence at Any Hour
The waterfall LED strip runs across the full width of the control panel and glows white on standby, while individual knob bezels shift from white to red the instant a burner ignites — so you always know which of your four zones is live without bending over the grill. Halogen interior lights flood the entire 785-square-inch surface for clear, bright cooking visibility long after sunset. The rear burner flame-out system automatically cuts the gas supply to the infrared burner if the flame is lost — a critical safety feature when you're running a long, unattended rotisserie session. The electronic Flame Thrower ignition with flash tube backup handles every start reliably.
Who the Summerset Quest 42-Inch Is For
- Outdoor kitchen builders with a 42-inch cutout — the Quest 42 is purpose-built for this footprint and makes full use of every inch with four independent heat zones and 785 square inches of primary surface.
- Hosts who cook for larger groups — nearly 800 square inches means proteins, sides, and warming all run at the same time without batching, so the food hits the table together instead of in shifts.
- Serious outdoor cooks who want true four-zone cooking — stainless heat-zone separators provide genuine temperature isolation between all four burners, enabling multi-course cooking that isn't possible on a two- or three-burner grill without compromise.
- Rotisserie enthusiasts — the 10,500 BTU infrared rear burner and 40 lb-capacity motor handle whole birds, large roasts, and heavy cuts that demand extended cook times, with an automatic flame-out shutoff for peace of mind during long sessions.
- Homeowners in coastal or high-humidity climates — 304 stainless throughout provides meaningful corrosion resistance where lower-grade builds show rust within a few seasons.
- Year-round and evening grillers — the full LED and halogen lighting suite means weather and darkness don't interrupt a session, and the warm-state bezel indicators keep you aware of what's active across all four zones.

Summerset Quest 42-Inch — Frequently Asked Questions
What are the exact cutout dimensions for the Quest 42-Inch?
The required cutout opening is 40½" wide × 19¾" deep × 10¼" high. Download the Cut-Out Sheet and Line Drawing above for contractor-ready reference. If your island is built from combustible materials, the Summerset Insulating Grill Jacket for Quest 42 (GL-42) is required and sold separately.
How many BTUs does the Quest 42 produce?
The four main U-tube burners produce 72,000 BTU combined (18,000 BTU each). The angled infrared rear burner adds 10,500 BTU when in use for rotisserie cooking. All five burners are independently controlled.
How does the Quest 42 compare to the Quest 36?
The Quest 42 adds a fourth 18,000 BTU main burner (72,000 BTU vs 54,000 BTU), grows the primary cooking area from 673 in² to 785 in², and widens the cutout from 34½" to 40½". That fourth burner gives you a genuine fourth independent cooking zone with its own heat-zone separator — something that changes how you plan and execute multi-course meals. The infrared rear burner, accessory package, lighting suite, hood, and warranty are identical across the Quest lineup.
What accessories come included in the box?
The Quest 42 includes: rotisserie kit (spit and 40 lb-capacity motor), drop-in stainless steel griddle plate, stainless steel rib rack, smoker box, multi-position warming racks, and a grill cover. The Summerset Insulating Grill Jacket (GL-42) and freestanding cart are sold separately.
Is the rotisserie kit included, and what is the motor's weight capacity?
Yes — the rotisserie kit comes standard in the box. The motor is rated for up to 40 lbs, sufficient for a whole turkey, a large pork shoulder, a leg of lamb, or a bone-in standing rib roast. It plugs into a standard electrical outlet.
Can the Quest 42 be used freestanding instead of built-in?
Yes. The grill head can be paired with a Summerset Deluxe Cart for the 42-Inch Quest, sold separately. The cart features folding side shelves, locking caster wheels, storage drawers, and a propane tank access door, converting the built-in head into a fully mobile freestanding station.
Is a grill liner required for built-in installation?
If your outdoor island uses combustible materials — wood framing, plastic composites — yes, the Summerset Insulating Grill Jacket for Quest 42 (GL-42) is required by the manufacturer. It provides double-wall insulation to protect surrounding framing from heat transfer. Islands built from non-combustible materials (steel studs, concrete block) with proper clearances may not require it — always confirm against the installation manual and local codes.
What clearances are required inside a built-in island?
A minimum of 14 inches of clearance is required on the right, left, and rear from protected combustible walls — 4 inches of non-combustible material plus an additional 10 inches to any combustible surface. The island enclosure must include ventilation: at minimum a 4-inch vent opening at both the top and bottom. Follow local codes and the full requirements in the user manual.
What fuel types are available, and can I convert between them?
The Quest 42 is available in Natural Gas (QST42-NG) and Liquid Propane (QST42-LP) — select your fuel type above before adding to cart. Fuel conversion between NG and LP may require a manufacturer-supplied conversion kit and professional installation; contact us before attempting any conversion.
What is Summerset's warranty on the Quest 42?
Summerset covers the Quest 42 with their Gold Standard Lifetime Warranty for construction, cooking grates, burners, burner covers, valves, heat zone separators, ceramic briquette systems, and temperature gauges — for the life of the original owner. Electrical components and all other parts carry a three-year warranty. Labor is excluded. The warranty must be registered online within 30 days of purchase and applies to the original purchaser at the original delivery site.
Does the warranty cover coastal or high-humidity environments?
Summerset's warranty does not cover discoloration, surface rust, corrosion, or oxidation resulting from harsh environments, chemicals, or overheating — and coastal, humid, and salt-air environments are subject to manufacturer review. Regular cleaning, proper maintenance, and consistent use of the included grill cover are essential for long-term performance in these conditions.
Can I add an infrared sear burner to the Quest 42?
Yes. Summerset offers a Drop-In Infrared Sear Burner designed specifically for the Quest Series, sold separately. It replaces any one of the four main burners to create a dedicated infrared searing station at 18,000 BTU — useful for finishing steaks with a hard crust or searing proteins at extremely high surface temperatures. Contact us for details on this upgrade.
How do the bezel lights and waterfall LED work?
Each of the four control knobs has a backlit bezel that glows white when that burner is off and shifts to red when it's ignited and active. This gives you an immediate visual read across all four zones simultaneously — critical when you're managing multiple cooking temperatures at once on a large grill. The waterfall LED strip runs the full width of the front panel for ambient lighting during evening sessions.
How does the ceramic briquette system work across four burners?
Ceramic briquette trays sit between the burners and the grates across the full 785-square-inch cooking surface. They absorb and re-radiate heat to smooth out temperature variance between burners and eliminate cold spots at the edges. They also vaporize drippings to add smoky flavor on a gas grill — and they slide out for cleaning after the session rather than requiring you to scrub the burner tubes directly.
Is the drip tray dishwasher-safe?
Yes. The grease drip tray is removable and dishwasher-safe, keeping post-cook grease management simple even after a long, multi-zone cooking session.
What shipping and return policies apply at Deck & Den?
Deck & Den offers free shipping on orders over $100 to the contiguous 48 states. The Quest 42 is covered by Deck & Den's 45-day return policy. Price matching is available — contact us with a qualifying authorized-dealer price and we'll match it.
