Compare Blaze Gas Grills: Which Series Is Right for You?
Blaze builds four distinct gas grill series, and choosing between them comes down to burner construction, cooking features, and budget. Every series shares the same DNA: 304 stainless steel bodies, flame-thrower push-and-turn ignition with flash-tube backup, heat zone separators for multi-zone cooking, and the lifetime warranty that made this American company famous. Here is how they compare.
Prelude LBM — Premium Build at an Entry Price
The Blaze Prelude LBM 4-burner built-in gas grill delivers 14,000 BTU tube burners, 8mm cooking rods, and full 304 stainless construction at the lowest price in the lineup. If you want Blaze durability without the upgrades, start here. Shop Prelude LBM
Blaze Premium LTE+ — The Best-Seller
The Blaze 32-inch 4-burner built-in gas grill package most customers choose. Blaze LTE+ models (BLZ-4LTE3) add cast stainless burners, 9mm triangular cooking rods, an infrared rotisserie back burner, interior halogen lights, red LED burner-state indicators, and a spring-assisted hood — the most complete feature set per dollar in outdoor cooking. Also available in 40-inch and 5-burner configurations. Shop Premium LTE+
Professional LUX — Maximum Performance
18,000 BTU cast stainless H-burners, 12mm hexagonal grates for steakhouse sear marks, and the highest heat output Blaze makes. Built for serious cooking volume and large gatherings. Shop Professional LUX
Marine Grade 316L — For Coastal Homes
The same grills upgraded to 316L stainless steel, the alloy used on boats, for salt-air corrosion resistance at the beach or poolside.
Built-In or Freestanding Grill Cart?
Every series installs two ways: dropped into an outdoor kitchen island, or on a matching stainless grill cart with folding shelves and tank storage. Blaze built-in grills come with cutout specs on every product page; cart versions arrive ready to roll. Both natural gas and propane models are available across the lineup.
Complete Blaze Outdoor Kitchens
Blaze outdoor kitchens go far beyond the grill. Match your hood with Blaze gas griddles, side burners and power burners, outdoor refrigerators, ice makers, and stainless doors, drawers, and storage — all in the same brushed 304 finish, most covered by the same lifetime warranty. Add grill covers, rotisserie kits, and BBQ accessories to finish the setup. See our guides to Blaze griddles compared and choosing outdoor kitchen burners, or browse all grill accessories.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Blaze a good brand for grills?
Yes — Blaze is one of the best-value luxury grill brands sold today. You get 304 stainless construction and features found on grills costing twice as much, plus a lifetime warranty on stainless components. Owner reviews consistently praise the even heat, reliable ignition, and warranty service.
Who makes Blaze grills, and where are they made?
Blaze Outdoor Products is an American company headquartered in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Grills are manufactured overseas to Blaze's specifications, with US-based engineering, support, and warranty service.
Is Blaze owned by BBQGuys?
Blaze was launched by the founders of BBQGuys and the two remain sister companies based in Baton Rouge. Blaze is sold through a network of authorized dealers — including BBQ Kitchen Pros.
Is Blaze better than Weber?
They serve different buyers. Weber dominates consumer freestanding grills; Blaze is built for outdoor kitchens, with heavier 304 stainless, built-in configurations, and a lifetime warranty versus Weber's 10–12 years. For a permanent outdoor kitchen, Blaze is the stronger choice.
What is the rear burner for on a Blaze grill?
It's a 10,000 BTU infrared rotisserie burner. Paired with a rotisserie kit, it delivers even radiant heat for self-basted chicken, roasts, and ribs at 225–325°F.
Do Blaze grills run on natural gas or propane?
Both — every model is offered in NG and LP versions, and conversion kits are available for most grills. Not sure which you need? Call us before ordering.
