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

If you’re building an outdoor kitchen that’s meant to be used — not just admired — the Weber Summit SB38 Built-In Gas Barbecue Black (Natural Gas) is the centrepiece. It’s designed to integrate into a built-in setting, bring true variety to your cooking, and handle big gatherings without feeling stretched.

With natural gas, it’s always ready. No cylinder swaps. No “is there enough gas left?” moments. Just consistent supply and a barbecue that’s built to perform whenever you decide it’s cooking time.

Top-down infrared burner for edge-to-edge caramelisation

This is the hero feature that sets the Summit apart. The top-down, high-heat infrared burner directs intense radiant heat onto the top of your food, helping create that edge-to-edge caramelised finish that looks (and tastes) like it came off restaurant gear.

Use it to finish steaks, crisp and brown rotisserie cooks, and add a final “hit” of colour to anything you want to serve with confidence.

Weber Summit SB38 Built-In Gas Barbecue Black (Natural Gas) gives you five burners of steady heat

Under the hood, five main burners let you cook with real control. Sear on one side, roast lid-down on another, and keep a warm zone running — all at the same time. It’s the kind of setup that makes entertaining easier because you’re not stuck cooking in batches.

Cast-iron cooking grates hold heat well, helping you get consistent results across the cooking surface.

Expansive two-tier cooking surface for crowd-friendly timing

Two-tier cooking makes a massive difference when you’re feeding a group. Grill mains down low while warming, toasting, or holding food up top so everything lands together — not in waves. It’s the simple advantage that keeps the cook calm when the guest list grows.

Smoker box and rotisserie for real low-and-slow variety

When you want that deeper, wood-smoked flavour, the stainless-steel smoker box is ready to go. Load it up, let the smoke work, and bring a new layer of flavour to ribs, chicken, roasts and more.

Then there’s the rotisserie: perfect for multiple chickens and larger cuts. Rotisserie cooking gives you even browning and juicy results, and it’s an easy way to “level up” without making the cook complicated.

Weber Crafted compatibility for griddle, pizza, wok and more

The Summit SB38 is Weber Crafted compatible, and the Crafted cooking grates and frame kit are included, so you can expand into different cooking styles with compatible accessories (sold separately). That opens the door to griddle-style cooks, pizza nights, wok cooking and more — without needing another appliance.

Night Vision lighting and backlit control dials for after-dark cooking

Evening cook-ups are easier with Night Vision LED lighting that helps illuminate the cooking surface, plus backlit control dials to keep everything clear in low light. It’s practical, it looks premium, and you’ll use it more than you think.

Built-in cabinetry, trim kit, and the tidy-workflow details

A built-in barbecue should look seamless — and this one is designed to do exactly that with under-barbecue cabinetry and a trim kit for a clean, integrated finish. Add one-handed electronic ignition, a built-in lid thermometer, and a layout built for serious cooks, and it becomes the kind of outdoor setup you’ll reach for year-round.
