Description
For outdoor cooks who think in terms of whole roasts, not just steaks and burgers, the Delta Heat 38-inch built-in gas grill with infrared rotisserie burner (DHBQ38R-D)Â is the right-sized solution. The expanded 38-inch footprint gives the rotisserie system room to breathe: larger spit clearance, more room for oversized roasts, and 625 sq in of main grill surface available simultaneously for sides and additional proteins.
The rear infrared rotisserie burner radiates heat directly at the rotating spit from behind, achieving the continuous self-basting effect that makes rotisserie cooking so distinctively juicy and flavorful. Unlike drip-pan roasting in an oven or standard grill roasting, the rotating action plus direct infrared heat creates a feedback loop, drippings continually re-coat the protein as it turns, producing a crust of extraordinary depth without drying out the interior.
The three main 60,000-BTU burners operate entirely independently of the rotisserie system, making it possible to use the full 625 sq in grill surface simultaneously. The 210 sq in warming rack is larger than the full cooking surface of a compact grill. Use it to stage finished sides, keep buns warm, or rest large cuts before carving.
The DHBQ38R-D also maintains sear zone upgrade compatibility, preserving the path to full RS-configuration performance without a grill replacement. All manufactured in the USA under Delta Heat’s industry-leading lifetime warranty on burners and housing.
Key Features:Â
- Rear Infrared Rotisserie Burner on a 38-Inch Platform: More clearance and capacity for larger roasts, whole turkeys, prime ribs, and double-chicken setups that the 32-inch model can’t comfortably accommodate.
- Three 18-Gauge SS U-Burners (60,000 BTUs):Â Enough combined power to run the main grates at full capacity while the rotisserie operates independently at the rear.
- 625 Sq In Primary Surface + 210 Sq In Warming Rack:Â An enormous staging area. Keep the rotisserie running while the grates handle every side dish and appetizer in the lineup.
- All 304 Stainless Steel — Welded Construction: Built for outdoor permanence. Heavy-gauge construction, zero exposed seams, and corrosion-resistant surfaces that maintain their appearance over decades.
- Ceramic Radiant Briquette System:Â Even heat distribution and flare-up protection across the full main cooking zone.
- Double-Lined Hood + Spring Assist:Â Even at 38-inch scale, the hood lifts effortlessly. Exceptional heat retention for indirect roasting alongside the rotisserie.
- Blue LED Controls + Interior Halogen Lighting:Â Full illumination for evening sessions. Nothing on the grates or spit is ever out of view.
- Sear Zone Upgrade Compatible: Upgrade to full DHBQ38RS-equivalent configuration with the Delta Heat Sear Zone Kit, without replacing the grill.
