Weber Summit FS38 Gas Barbecue Black (Natural Gas)

The Weber Summit FS38 Gas Barbecue Black (Natural Gas) is for serious outdoor cooks who want more than “just grilling”. It’s a premium natural gas barbecue designed to handle big gatherings, bigger menus, and the kind of cooking variety that turns a backyard BBQ into a full outdoor kitchen moment.

With a plumbed natural gas connection, it’s always ready. No bottle swaps, no running low mid-cook — just consistent supply and a barbecue that’s set up to perform whenever you are.

Weber Summit FS38 Gas Barbecue Black (Natural Gas) top-down infrared burner advantage

This is the feature that changes the game. The top-down, high-heat infrared burner directs intense radiant heat onto the top of your food, helping deliver edge-to-edge caramelisation and a proper crust — the sort of finish people usually associate with restaurant gear.

Use it to level up steaks, chops, chicken, roasted veg, melts and open sandwiches, and even to add that “final hit” that makes a dish look and taste next-level.

Five PureBlu burners for steady heat across the grill

Under the hood, the Summit FS38 runs five stainless steel PureBlu burners designed to create consistent flames and even heat across the cooking grills. That means less guesswork, fewer hot spots, and a more predictable cook — especially when you’re juggling multiple items at once.

Expansive two-tier cooking to feed a crowd

The two-tier cooking surface gives you room to run a full spread without chaos. Grill mains down low while warming, toasting, or holding food up top so everything lands together — not in batches. It’s a simple advantage that makes a massive difference when you’re cooking for family and friends.

Weber Crafted compatibility for new cooking styles

The Summit FS38 is Weber Crafted compatible and includes the Crafted frame kit and cooking grates, so you can expand into different outdoor cooking techniques with compatible accessories (sold separately). That means you can build variety into your setup over time — from griddle-style cooking to wok, pizza and more — without needing another appliance.

Weber Summit FS38 Gas Barbecue Black (Natural Gas) smoker box + rotisserie for real flavour

When you want proper smoky depth, the large stainless-steel smoker box adds a low-and-slow boost to your cook. And when it’s time to impress, the integrated rotisserie is ready to go — ideal for multiple chickens and larger roasts, with even browning and juicy results as the spit turns.

Side burner convenience for sauces and sides

The side burner makes it easier to keep the whole meal outdoors. Warm sauces, sauté mushrooms, boil corn, finish glazes, or keep sides hot while the main grill stays busy. It’s the kind of feature that makes entertaining smoother because you’re not constantly running back inside.

Night cooking upgrades that actually get used

Evening cook-ups are easier with Night Vision LED lighting to illuminate the cooking area, plus backlit control dials to help you keep control when the sun goes down. It’s a practical upgrade that also makes the Summit feel genuinely premium in use.
