Summerset Built-In Outdoor Oven, Propane | SS-OVBI-LP
The Summerset SS-OVBI-LP was a built-in liquid propane outdoor oven designed for premium outdoor kitchens, grill islands and backyard cooking spaces, providing oven-style versatility for pizza, roasting, baking and more.
Looking for the Current Summerset Outdoor Oven?
Customers replacing or upgrading from the discontinued SS-OVBI-LP should consider Summerset's newer OV-HYBL Hybrid Pizza Oven for liquid propane applications.
The OV-HYBL provides a much more advanced cooking platform with the ability to cook using gas or wood, temperatures up to 932°F, a 390 sq. in. cooking surface, cordierite cooking stone, 40,000 BTU main burner and a dedicated 9,000 BTU wood-starting burner.
Summerset SS-OVBI-LP Product Overview
The Summerset SS-OVBI-LP Built-In Outdoor Oven was designed to bring the functionality of a traditional indoor oven into a built-in outdoor kitchen. Rather than limiting an outdoor cooking area to standard grilling, this propane-fired oven allowed homeowners to prepare pizza, baked dishes, roasted foods, appetizers, sides and other oven-cooked meals directly from their patio or backyard kitchen.
Constructed for integration into a compatible outdoor kitchen island, the SS-OVBI-LP combined stainless steel construction with multiple cooking racks, a pizza stone, interior lighting, temperature monitoring and a heat-management system.
Key Features
What Can the SS-OVBI-LP Be Used For?
Unlike a conventional outdoor grill that cooks primarily through direct or radiant heat from below, the Summerset SS-OVBI-LP was designed to provide an enclosed oven-style cooking environment. This made it useful for a broad range of outdoor cooking applications.
- Pizza and flatbreads
- Roasted meats and poultry
- Baked appetizers and side dishes
- Casseroles and oven-style recipes
- Roasted vegetables
- Breads and baked foods
- Warming and finishing prepared dishes
- Expanding the cooking capability of an outdoor kitchen beyond a grill alone

- Required ventilation and combustible clearances
- Countertop depth and surrounding construction
- Access for service and maintenance
- Current local gas and building-code requirements
Gas appliances should be installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and applicable local codes. Professional installation is recommended.
