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.

Shipping & Delivery Details
This Shipping Policy applies to orders shipped within the United States (excluding Hawaii & Alaska). By placing an order with us, you accept the policies contained herein.
Enjoy free shipping for orders over $99. Orders under $99 pay a flat shipping fee of $10.95. Benefit from complimentary shipping for your entire purchase delivered straight to your home, even for the larger items! *Applies only within the Continental US.
Estimated Delivery Time
Post shipment, anticipate your items within a timeframe of 3-5 business days. We utilize UPS and FedEx for smaller items. It's crucial to note that more substantial items and certain orders are dispatched via freight. Freight shipping is somewhat more intricate compared to regular parcel deliveries, hence understanding the process in advance ensures a smooth delivery experience.
Freight Shipment Specifics
The majority of freight items are shipped on pallets. Some delivery companies will reach out to fix a delivery slot, whereas others aim to drop off your order at the most accessible spot nearest to your home, preferably close to a garage. The shipping confirmation email will detail the specific delivery procedures to anticipate.
For Scheduled Delivery
Companies that arrange delivery slots necessitate your presence for the delivery and your signature for confirmation. Deliveries are made using a semi-truck with lift gate service, placing the shipment by the curb. Should you grant permission for the delivery to be left unsupervised, BBQ Kitchen Pros cannot assume responsibility for any ensuing damages. The process might seem daunting, but for a comprehensive understanding, we recommend you peruse our thorough freight delivery guide to prevent unforeseen challenges.
For Non-Scheduled Deliveries
Delivery services that don't operate on appointments don't mandate your presence or a scheduled delivery slot. There's also no signature required upon receipt. Without the hassle of scheduling or waiting around, let the delivery come to you. If you're home during the drop-off, the driver can be asked to place your items in the garage. If you're away, they'll position it close to the garage or main entry.
