With sleek 304 stainless steel construction, powerful cast burners, and signature sear zone options, Blaze grills deliver the power and durability needed for a luxury BBQ setup that lasts for years.

Whether you’re designing a compact backyard cooking station or a full outdoor living space, a Blaze built-in grill brings premium performance and seamless Blaze grill integration to your island layout.

To help you choose the best Blaze grill for your needs, we’ve compared three top 32-inch models — from the budget-friendly Prelude LBM, to the feature-rich Premium LTE+, and the advanced LTE PRO. Below is a side-by-side breakdown highlighting what sets each apart.

4. Maximize Utility with Blaze Side Burners & Power Burners

If you’re building the ultimate outdoor kitchen, your grill shouldn’t do all the work alone. Blaze offers a range of powerful side burners and power burners designed to match your grill tier — whether you’re cooking up sauces next to an LBM model or boiling a seafood pot with your LTE PRO. These versatile add-ons expand your cooking surface, so you can sauté, simmer, boil, and sear without ever stepping indoors.

Crafted from durable 304 stainless steel and built for seamless integration, Blaze side burners come equipped with pro-style features like push-and-turn ignition, illuminated control knobs, and flame-taming design. They’re the perfect complement to your Blaze grill — both in performance and aesthetics.

Below is a comparison of the different levels of side and power burners that pair best with the Blaze grill models we covered earlier — from LBM, to LTE+, and to LTE PRO.

Blaze Outdoor Kitchen FAQs

What makes Blaze grills a good choice for outdoor kitchens?

Blaze grills are made from 304 stainless steel, include a lifetime warranty, and are available in multiple series to match your cooking style and budget. Their modular design also integrates perfectly with outdoor kitchen islands.

Can Blaze appliances be used in any climate?

Yes! Most Blaze products are outdoor-rated and designed to withstand extreme temperatures, humidity, and coastal air. Their marine-grade materials make them ideal for long-lasting performance in any region.

Do I need a Blaze insulated jacket for my grill?

You’ll need an insulated grill jacket if your Blaze grill is installed in a combustible cabinet (like wood). This safety barrier helps prevent heat damage and is recommended for most outdoor kitchens using non-masonry islands.

What's the difference between Blaze LTE, LTE+, and LUX series?

Each step up adds more premium features:

  • LTE: LED lighting, upgraded knobs, and brass burners.

  • LTE+: Enhanced lighting and finish upgrades.

  • LUX: Blaze’s top-tier line, offering pro-style grates, more burner power, and hexagon searing rods.
