Weber Summit FS38 Gas Barbecue Black (LPG)

The Weber Summit FS38 Gas Barbecue Black (LPG) is for outdoor cooks who want more than “just grilling”. It’s a premium, crowd-ready barbecue that lets you cook multiple dishes at once, explore new techniques, and serve everything on time — without turning the cook-up into chaos. LPG makes it a great choice where natural gas isn’t available, while still delivering a powerful outdoor kitchen experience.

Top-down infrared burner: the finishing move that changes everything

The hero feature is the top-down, high-heat infrared burner. It directs intense radiant heat from above, creating a bold, caramelised finish across the top of your food. Think steakhouse-style crust, crisped chicken skin, and a final hit of colour on everything from chops to roasted veg — without guesswork.

Five burners for true multi-zone control

Five main burners give you proper flexibility: sear hard on one side, roast with the lid down through the middle, and keep a gentler zone running for sides or holding food. When you’re feeding a crowd, this is what stops you cooking in batches and lets the whole meal come together smoothly.

Weber Summit FS38 Gas Barbecue Black (LPG) two-tier cooking keeps timing on your side

The expansive two-tier cooking setup is a quiet weapon for entertaining. Grill mains down low while warming, toasting, or holding food up top — buns, veg, the first batch of steaks, or finished chicken pieces — so everything lands together instead of arriving in waves.

Smoker box + rotisserie: big flavour, showpiece results

The large stainless smoker box lets you add wood-smoked flavour when you want to break routine — great for chicken, roasts, ribs and more. Then there’s the integrated rotisserie, built for multiple chickens and larger cuts. Rotisserie cooking helps deliver even browning while keeping meat juicy, and it’s an easy way to serve something impressive without extra effort.

Crafted cooking system compatibility for next-level variety

This barbecue is built around a Crafted cooking system platform, including the frame kit and cooking grates, so you can expand into different styles over time with compatible accessories (sold separately). That means you can build a menu that goes beyond grilling — from flat-plate style cooks to pizza nights and wok-style meals.

Side burner convenience for sauces and sides

A side burner keeps the whole meal outdoors. Warm sauces, sauté onions, boil corn, reduce glazes, or keep sides hot while the main grill stays busy. It’s a simple addition that makes entertaining feel easier and more organised.

Night Vision lighting and backlit dials for after-dark confidence

Evening cook-ups are easier with night lighting that illuminates the grill surface, plus backlit control dials that keep adjustments clear in low light. It’s practical, it looks premium, and it gets used more than you’d think.

LPG notes for Weber Summit FS38 Gas Barbecue Black (LPG)

This model uses a refillable LPG cylinder (sold separately). A standard 9 kg bottle is commonly used, and keeping a spare cylinder on hand is the easiest way to avoid interruptions mid-cook. The built-in fuel gauge/tank scale helps you keep an eye on levels before you fire up.
