# Ruby 3-Burner Pro-Sear: Weeknight Steaks, Weekend Crowds

By Sunstone Metal Products · 2026-08-29

> The 30" Ruby Pro-Sear is the grill you actually use on a Tuesday — 60,000 BTU infrared heat, 304 stainless, and a 540 sq in grate that still hosts Saturday steaks.

### A grill that earns the Tuesday night

Most “dream grills” look impressive in a showroom and sit idle by October. The [30" Ruby 3-Burner Pro-Sear (RUBY3B)](https://austinoutdoorkitchens.com/products/30-ruby-3-burner-pro-sear-grill-ruby3b) is built for the opposite: light it, sear it, eat. Independent Flame-Thrower ignition on every burner, LED controls you can read after dark, and infrared heat that puts a crust on a ribeye before the center overcooks.

Infrared sear on the Ruby — this is the Maillard reaction at backyard distance.

At 60,000 BTU across three I-burners and 540 square inches of 304 stainless cooking grid, it is sized for a family dinner without feeling lost on a weekend platter of steaks. Variable rod spacing holds a delicate fish on the tight side and a thick chop on the wide.

### The product, plainly

When Saturday outgrows 30 inches, the [Ruby 4-Burner](https://austinoutdoorkitchens.com/products/ruby-4-burner-pro-sear-36-ruby4b) is the same Pro-Sear fire, wider grate.

 Cut-out on the 3-burner is 27-1/2" W × 22" D × 10" H — it drops into a [34" grill base cabinet](https://austinoutdoorkitchens.com/products/34-sunstone-gas-grill-base-cabinet-sac34glpcd) or a masonry island with the same opening. Interior halogen and a control-panel LED strip mean you are not cooking by phone flashlight.

### How it lives in the kitchen

Park the Ruby in a Sunstone grill cabinet and the rest of the island — drawers, fridge, bar — does the entertaining.

Pair it with a Versa side burner for sauces, a paper-towel combo drawer at the off-hand, and an outdoor fridge two steps left. That is a weeknight line: protein out of the cold, sear, rest, plate. On Saturday, the same 30" grate takes a full load of steaks while the island’s bar counter holds the crowd.
