Napoleon Built-In 700 Series 38-inch Stainless Steel Gas Grill with Infrared Rear Burner | 5-Burner

The Napoleon Built-In 700 Series 38-Inch Stainless Steel Gas Grill with Infrared Rear Burner brings high-performance grilling, rotisserie cooking and premium outdoor-kitchen features together in a substantial built-in platform. Available as the BIG38RBNSS-1 Natural Gas model or BIG38RBPSS-1 Propane model, this 38-inch grill delivers 78,000 total BTUs through a 5-burner cooking system and provides 945 square inches of total cooking area. 

The primary cooking surface uses Napoleon's substantial 9.5 mm shot-blasted stainless steel Iconic WAVE™ cooking grids. Their recognizable curved profile is designed to improve durability and heat retention while helping keep smaller foods from falling between the grids. Stainless steel construction also provides excellent corrosion resistance and requires less routine maintenance than traditional cast iron cooking grids.

Underneath the cooking grids, dual-level stainless steel sear plates help spread heat throughout the cooking chamber while shielding the burners from drippings. As juices contact the heated sear plates, they vaporize to add grilled flavor while the overlapping design helps manage flare-ups and encourages more consistent temperatures across the cooking surface.

For everyday grilling, Napoleon's Instant JETFIRE™ ignition provides quick burner startup. The main burners can be controlled independently, allowing you to create separate heat zones for direct and indirect cooking. Use high direct heat for steaks, burgers and vegetables, or arrange lower and indirect heat zones for poultry, roasts and foods that benefit from longer cooking times.

The defining feature of this model is its rear infrared rotisserie burner. Positioned behind the cooking area, the infrared burner provides concentrated radiant heat for spit-roasting poultry, roasts and other larger cuts. A two-fork rotisserie kit is included, giving you the equipment needed to take advantage of the dedicated rear burner. Napoleon instructs users to remove the warming rack before operating the rear burner and not to operate the rear burner at the same time as the main burners.

The grill also includes a stainless steel warming rack that expands usable cooking space for keeping finished foods warm, toasting buns or cooking foods away from the stronger heat of the main cooking grids. When the rotisserie system is being used, the warming rack can be removed to create additional clearance.

For a standard installation, Napoleon specifies an opening approximately 36 to 38 inches wide, 19.4 to 19.75 inches deep and 10.25 inches high. The countertop must be non-combustible, and the cabinet frame and enclosure must also be constructed from non-combustible material unless the corresponding Napoleon zero-clearance liner is installed. Napoleon also specifies a minimum of 5 inches of clearance behind the unit for lid opening.
