RCS 38-Inch Cutlass Elite 4 Burner Built-In Gas Grill — CEG38
RCS 38-Inch Cutlass Elite Built-In Gas Grill — CEG38
Is This the Right Grill for Your Outdoor Kitchen?
- This is the 38" Cutlass Elite — RCS's flagship built-in grill series. The Cutlass Elite is the top tier of the RCS lineup, adding color-changing illuminated knobs, 8mm Sear-Marx cooking grids, a smoker box, spring-assist hood, and an included rotisserie kit over the Cutlass Pro. If you want the most fully-equipped RCS built-in, this is it.
- Cutout required: 41 1/4" wide × 20" deep × 11" tall. Measure your island opening carefully before ordering. The 30" model requires a different cutout width. Built-in grills cannot be returned once installed into an island.
- 120V power is required at the island. The interior halogen lights and color-changing LED knobs both need a dedicated 120V connection in the grill bay. All burners, ignition, and cooking functions work without power — only the lighting and LED knobs require it.
- Field-convertible between Natural Gas and Propane. Ships set up for Natural Gas. Conversion to Propane can be done in the field without replacing the unit.
- Insulated liner required for combustible island frames. If your island uses wood framing, OSB, or other combustibles, order the LJRON38 insulated liner separately — required by the manufacturer for safe installation.
Key Features
- 8MM Solid Stainless Steel Sear-Marx Cooking Grids — Heavy-gauge 8mm rods create defined sear marks and retain heat across the full 1,034 sq. in. cooking surface. Won't chip, peel, or require seasoning like cast iron.
- 4 Cast Stainless Steel Burners — 80,000 BTU Total BTU — Cast stainless burners deliver superior heat retention and even distribution from edge to edge. 80,000 BTU across 4 main burners handles searing, smoking, and low-and-slow simultaneously across heat zones.
- 20" Stainless/Ceramic Infrared Rear Burner — 12,500 BTU — Dedicated infrared rear burner powers the included rotisserie kit. Ceramic element delivers consistent radiant heat for even rotation on whole poultry, roasts, pork shoulders, and leg of lamb.
- Color-Changing Illuminated Control Knobs (120V Required) — LED-backlit knobs confirm which burners are on at a glance in any light condition. Color cycles through multiple settings. Transformer included. Requires 120V island wiring.
- High-Intensity Interior Halogen Lights (120V Required) — Dual halogen lights illuminate the full cooking surface for accurate doneness checks at dusk or at night. Requires 120V island wiring.
- Spring-Assist Hood — Counterbalanced lid opens smoothly and stays open at any angle without a prop rod. No arm fatigue during long cook sessions when checking multiple zones repeatedly.
- Stainless Rotisserie Motor, Heavy Forks & Rod — Included — Complete rotisserie kit in the box. No separate purchase needed to run a full rotisserie setup from day one. Works over the 12,500 BTU ceramic infrared rear burner.
- Smoker Box Included — Add wood chips directly to the smoker box for smoked flavor on any cook. No standalone smoker needed.
- Briquette Flavor Trays & Heat Zone Separators — Ceramic briquettes vaporize drippings for authentic BBQ smoke flavor. Heat zone separators let you run different temperatures across the cooking surface simultaneously.
- Sure-Strike Ignition — Individual igniter per burner delivers reliable spark in cold temperatures and windy outdoor conditions where battery-powered igniters often fail.
- Full-Width Slide-Out Drip Tray — Captures drippings across the full grill width and slides out completely for cleaning without removing the grill or accessing the island underside.
- Field-Convertible NG/LP — Converts between natural gas and propane in the field as your setup changes.
Installation & Compatibility
The CEG38 requires a cutout of 41 1/4" wide × 20" deep × 11" tall. Compatible with aluminum stud, steel stud, and concrete block island construction. For combustible island framing (wood, OSB, plywood), order the LJRON38 insulated liner separately — required by the manufacturer.
120V electrical rough-in is required in the grill bay before the island is closed. All burner and ignition functions operate without power; only the halogen lights and LED knobs require 120V.
Compatible accessories: IR30 Infrared Sear Burner, RSSG2A Cutlass Series Griddle, RSSG4 Dual Plate Griddle. Optional drop-in cover and cart cover sold separately — see matching RCS cover SKUs for this model.
Warranty
Lifetime limited warranty to the original owner against manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. Briquette trays carry a lifetime warranty. Non-transferable. Applies to residential use only. Limited to one-time replacement of defective parts — shipping and labor not covered. Original receipt required for all warranty claims. No registration required. Effective for product sales beginning April 14, 2025. Contact: [email protected].
