Side burner question

[fkong777]

Just came back from a BBQ outlet store. They had 2 Side burner that is affordable to me. I need this more for Broiling water and frying pan. I already have a sear burner in my BBQ head.
1 is a bangged up dented but new drop in dual burner
1 is a new smokeless dual side intra red sear burner. Much nicer..

both unit is similar in price. Sales guy say I can broil water w a sear burner
Can I control heat w a sear burner? for pots and pans?

Thanks.

I got the dented side burner. Dual burner - built-in, NP, stainless steel - $200 I can repair the dents. Not really that damaged.
I tried to use my sear burner to heat water in a pot and fried an egg on a pan. Not good. takes too long and hard to control the flame.
