A taste of summer with ILVE’s outdoor built-in BBQ

The long, sunny days of summer are the perfect accompaniment to an outdoor feast. Elevate your cooking with ILVE’s new Professional Plus BBQ, which brings performance and panache to your outdoor spaces.


There are few rituals that capture the essence of Australian living like cooking and entertaining outdoors. Whether it’s a relaxed midweek dinner or a long, sun-soaked Sunday gathering, the backyard BBQ continues to bring people together in a way that’s quintessential to our way of life.

As outdoor spaces become more integrated with the home, the demand for well-designed, high-performance appliances has never been stronger. Arriving in October 2025 – just in time for the spring weather to shine again – is ILVE’s Professional Plus Built-in Gas Barbecue. This standout design is poised to become the heart of the modern outdoor kitchen.

Handcrafted in Italy and built for those who love to cook, entertain and share good food, the ILVE BBQ blends professional performance with a sleek, architectural form. It’s a product designed not just for function, but for lifestyle – it’s designed to create memorable meals and meaningful moments in the open air.

Made entirely from commercial-grade AISI 304 stainless steel, including the grilling plates, the ILVE BBQ is built to withstand the harsh Australian conditions. Its weather-resistant, corrosion-proof body is easy to maintain and engineered to last. With the option of either natural gas or LPG, and three high-performance burners, this BBQ delivers power and precision. Smooth and corrugated cooking plates offer versatility, while the optional stainless steel lid with an integrated thermometer, allows for oven-style roasting and easy temperature control.

Where it truly shines, though, is with its functionality. This is a BBQ that invites exploration – cook up beautifully searing vegetables, seafood and meats, or test out the slow cooking capabilities. Every detail has been considered, from ergonomic handles and flame-failure safety features to easy-to-clean components and refined control knobs that are intuitive to use.

Aesthetically, the ILVE BBQ departs from bulky conventions and instead offers a minimalist, modern form that sits naturally within any outdoor kitchen or entertaining area. This design approach reflects a Mediterranean sensibility – where long, convivial meals, shared plates and a passion for fresh, seasonal cooking are part of everyday life. It’s a sentiment that resonates deeply with how Australians live, especially in the warmer months when the outdoors becomes an extension of the home.

More than an appliance, the ILVE BBQ is a centrepiece for connection. Whether installed on a breezy coastal deck or under a pergola in the inner suburbs, it sets the stage for effortless entertaining and the kind of shared experiences that define summer. It’s hand-built with care and precision to ensure a level of craftsmanship that adds lasting value. Italian to its core, the ILVE BBQ is a beautiful extension of the home, fusing high performance with minimalist design.

As outdoor living continues to shape home design across the country, the ILVE Professional Plus Built-in Gas Barbecue arrives as both a timeless addition. Durable, elegant and crafted for life, it’s made for those who take pleasure in cooking well – and in good company.
