Product Overview
The Napoleon 700 Series 38" Built-In Gas BBQ is designed for customers creating a serious outdoor kitchen with generous cooking space and premium built-in presentation.
Its larger 38-inch format provides more cooking capacity than the 32-inch model, making it ideal for family entertaining, weekend gatherings and customers who want a proper outdoor cooking centrepiece rather than a basic BBQ.
Cooking Performance
With 78,000 BTU of total heat output, five stainless steel main burners and infrared cooking technology, this built-in BBQ gives you excellent control across searing, grilling, roasting, rotisserie cooking and baking.
-
Sear: Use the integrated infrared bottom burner for intense steakhouse-style heat.
-
Grill: Cook family favourites across the large stainless steel cooking surface.
-
Roast: Use indirect heat for larger cuts and slow weekend cooking.
-
Rotisserie: Use the infrared rear burner and included rotisserie kit for beautifully even results.
-
Bake: Maintain steady heat for pizza stones and compatible BBQ accessories.
Infrared Searing Burner
The integrated infrared bottom burner heats rapidly to deliver intense searing performance. It is ideal for steaks, chops and other high-heat cooking where a fast, caramelised crust makes all the difference.
Sear first, then finish over a lower grill temperature for controlled, restaurant-style results at home.
Rear Infrared Rotisserie Burner
The infrared rear rotisserie burner is designed for spit-roasted meals, providing consistent radiant heat from the back of the grill.
The included commercial-grade rotisserie kit makes this model ideal for roast chicken, lamb, pork and other larger cuts, while the integrated storage keeps the rotisserie kit neatly tucked away when not in use.
Napoleon WAVE™ Cooking Grids
Napoleon’s 9.5 mm stainless steel WAVE™ cooking grids are built for durability, heat retention and signature sear marks.
- Creates iconic Napoleon WAVE™ sear marks
- Helps stop smaller foods from falling through the grill
- Supports even heat distribution
- Stainless steel construction is durable and low maintenance
Lighting, Controls & Ignition
The JETFIRE™ ignition system lights burners quickly using a focused jet of flame, while cross-lighting helps burners ignite and remain lit reliably.
SafetyGlow™ control knobs glow blue and change to red when burners are in use, giving you both premium ambience and a clear visual safety cue. Interior halogen lights also make evening cooking easier, because the BBQ does not have to stop just because the sun has clocked off.
Built-In Outdoor Kitchen Design
The Built-In 700 Series has been designed specifically for premium outdoor kitchen installations. Integrated trim provides a seamless built-in appearance, while longer electrical wiring and installation tolerance help reduce design restrictions during planning.
This makes the 38-inch model a strong choice for custom alfresco kitchens, stone benchtops and premium outdoor cabinetry.

- Large outdoor kitchens
- Premium alfresco entertaining areas
- LPG built-in BBQ installations
