Weber Summit SB38 Built-In Gas Barbecue Black (LPG)

If you’re building an outdoor kitchen that’s meant to be used year-round, the Weber Summit SB38 Built-In Gas Barbecue Black (LPG) is a serious centrepiece. It’s designed to integrate into a built-in bench layout, deliver powerful multi-zone cooking, and add genuine variety beyond standard grilling — the kind of setup that makes entertaining feel effortless instead of chaotic.

As an LPG model, it’s a great fit where a plumbed gas point isn’t available. With a refillable cylinder (sold separately), you get flexibility in installation while still stepping into a premium cooking platform built for big menus.

Weber Summit SB38 Built-In Gas Barbecue Black (LPG) top-down infrared burner advantage

This is the feature that separates “nice BBQ” from “wow, how’d you cook that?”. The top-down high-heat infrared burner delivers intense radiant heat from above, helping create edge-to-edge caramelisation and a proper finish on steaks, chops, chicken, and roasted vegetables.

It’s also brilliant for the final lift: melting, browning, crisping, and adding that restaurant-style top colour that turns a good cook into a great one.

Five burners for true multi-zone control

Five main burners give you the freedom to cook like an outdoor kitchen should: sear on one side, roast lid-down in the middle, and keep a gentler zone running for sides or holding food. You’re not forced into batch cooking, and you’re not juggling timing because you ran out of space.

When you’re feeding family and friends, this is what keeps the cook calm: different zones, different temperatures, all running at once.

Two-tier cooking surface for better timing when feeding a crowd

The two-tier cooking setup makes entertaining far easier. Grill mains down low while warming, toasting, or holding food up top so everything lands together — not in waves. It’s also perfect for buns, vegetables, and resting meats while the next round finishes.

Weber Summit SB38 Built-In Gas Barbecue Black (LPG) rotisserie + smoker box for real flavour

If you like cooking that feels a bit more “special occasion” without extra effort, the rotisserie and smoker box deliver. The rotisserie is ideal for multiple chickens and larger roasts, giving even browning and juicy results as the spit turns.

The stainless-steel smoker box adds wood-smoked depth when you want it — great for chicken, roasts, ribs, and anything you want to lift with a hint of smoke.

Crafted compatibility for expanding your cooking styles

This barbecue is built to work with Crafted accessories (sold separately), allowing you to expand beyond grilling into different cooking styles over time — think griddle-style cooks, pizza nights, and wok-style meals. It’s a smart way to grow your outdoor menu without buying a second appliance.

Night cooking upgrades: lighting and backlit dials

Evening cook-ups are easier with lighting designed to help you see what you’re doing when the sun goes down, plus backlit control dials that keep adjustments clear in low light. It’s practical, and it makes the whole built-in setup feel polished and premium.
