FANTASTIC Natural Gas Grill

Best Grill for the price hands down. Excellent heat control due to the design and cooks every bit as well as my old Fire Magic which we have at our vacation home and cost twice as much! Only one minor suggestion would be to offer an option on the size of the right and left ( bolt on) work areas. Seem smaller than most but I have a larger adjacent prep area so really doesn't matter.

Great Value

I bought this grill based on the high quality parts and the price. Assembly was very straightforward. I was so happy with the purchase that I recommended to my friend. She bought exactly the same grill. I bought this grill based on the video on the website. I never saw in person. This is also a complument of the website. I trusted your review of the product. I got exactly what I wanted. I didnt have to pay for extras (rotisserie, side tables, special thermometers, etc).

EASH TO ASSEMBLE

I was delighted with the thoughtful planning and engineering that went into the grill and especially the cart. I actually assembled the cart petty much by myself only having my wife help with one piece. It went together flawlessly and as the directions stated without any necessary jimmying to get thing to align! The only negative thing I would say is it referred to washers to be used on the cart but there were none in the packaging. I had some on hand and used my own. As for the grill head the only thing that I was disappointed about was there was no grid lifting handles included with the grill, though the grids have spaces for one. I would have even brought the grill at a few dollars more to have one included with the grill. We shopped extensively and researched grills on line and finally decided we simply didn't want to blow a great deal of money on a major upper end grill when The Blaze Grill did essentially the same thing. We were looking strongly for a grill with a side burner and were disappointed The Blaze Grill wasn't sold with one. Perhaps in the future you will make one, which I'm sure would sell well. We purchased all the other accessories with the grill. We are very happy we decided to purchase a Blaze Grill on Cart unseen, except for on line research. We did call BBQGuys and talked with a gentleman who answered all our questions and we placed our order with him on the spot. The grill arrived this morning (12-23-13) after ordering it on (12-16-13). It arrived boxed up on a pallet. BBQGuys have a customer because of our experience with them and we will be highly recommending them to all our friends! Now I have to get some gas hooked up so I can begin enjoying our new grill!

Seems great but not al that great.

Have now had this for 3 years and while it still performs well for the amount it costs it has some major issue that make it a pain to use. The entire bottom box which all burners and grates mount to is very out of shape. When cold 2 grates fall through to the bottom. When hot you can see if shrink and get smaller. This gets irritating when a grab drops mid cooking. Also since day one the lid has contacted the bolts that attach the rear infrared cooler to the frame. Sent emails and pictures with no response to blaze. And even though I perform regular cleanings and cover nightly the small posts holding the grates and flame guards are starting to rust off the main box. Its been a good grill, always fires up, minimal heat spots and gets super hot for a good sear. If the rest of the grill wasn't so great I would have given it 1 star. Maybe I just got a bad unit .

The Skinny:

  • 304-grade stainless steel construction with outstanding metal thicknesses
  • Brilliant all-around cooking performance with bulletproof ignition
  • Dual-zone grilling so effortless, it feels like you’re cheating
  • Thoughtful quality of life features for excellent value
  • Backed by a best in class warranty

Simply put? The Blaze Gas Grill is the perfect example of a Premium grill.

Blaze Traditional grills offer Premium level quality at a great value. Between thoughtful construction and thick materials, the Blaze Traditional is frankly built to last. It’s also built to perform — the burners, flame tamers, cooking grids, and especially the heat zone separators fold together into a multi-faceted grill greater than the sum of its parts. Throw in flamethrower ignition (and an infallible backup), the finest warranty in the game, convenient cart features, and that eye-popping plug and play infrared burner, and you wind up with a guaranteed entertaining investment you’ll hand down to your kids.

For this review, our irreplaceable Chef Tony put the Blaze Traditional Freestanding model through its paces in rigorous testing — such as XRF metal analysis, thermocouple heat inspection, and round upon round of roasting and searing. In his words: “It checks all the boxes.” We’re talking high performance, solid construction, rock-solid features, serious longevity, and that generous Blaze lifetime warranty.

Quality:

Scores high marks for construction — excellent metal, heat resistance, and component thickness.
  • First up, the Blaze Traditional is 304-grade stainless steel inside and out… minus a few key spots. The interior firebox, warming rack, drip pan, and inner panel of the double-walled lid are all 442-grade stainless steel. This is intentional. Such steel boasts higher titanium content than other grades, which means super strength under intense heat — leaving it less likely to crack, warp, or break welds under repeated extreme conditions.

    Not to mention the thickness of these pieces. Those 8mm thick cooking grids are solid stainless steel and wide enough to absorb and hold heat nicely (which means striking sear marks at high temperatures). Blaze Traditional grills also use a 14-gauge, full-width 304-grade perforated flame tamer system that carefully guards your burners from drippings, vaporizing them on contact. Across the entire length of your firebox, your sensitive burner ports will remain grease-free and safe to operate.

Let’s talk more about those burners. Cast stainless steel burners are molded from molten steel and formed into shape, avoiding seams — they make a welcome touch for any grill in this class. Chef Tony measured 3mm thick walls on these hefty, nicely-built cast burners. That width not only backs up all claims of burner heat absorption and conductivity but promises endurance through repeated usage.

Performance:

Heat reaches 350–670 degrees Fahrenheit and the heat zone dividers conveniently stagger temperatures.
  • After 20 minutes with all burners on high, Chef Tony clocked this Blaze gas grill at 670 degrees Fahrenheit. That’s plenty for the Premium class, and high enough to drop an amazing sear on the thickest steaks around. For the minimum heat test, 20 minutes with all burners on low produced 350 degrees; that’s about what we expected. This holds the door open for various cooking techniques such as baking and roasting, and the potential for low and slow smoking by utilizing fewer burners.

    Does “perforated full-width flame tamer system” ring a bell? They’re not just burner protection! When grease droplets splatter against the white-hot perforations, a subtle flame kiss sears your foods — much gentler than the charred beating of a fiery flare-up. Overall, this extinguishes flames and dissolves grease before they can cause you any headaches.

Not impressed yet? Here’s the Blaze trump card that impressed Chef Tony: heat zone dividers. This multi-zone potential really pulls the Blaze Traditional series forward from other grills in this class. Between each burner rests a 304-grade stainless steel plate that halts the transfer of heat laterally across the grill. You probably won’t be ready to appreciate this genius feature until you need to grill at staggered temperatures. As soon as you do, you’ll find that heat zone dividers hold one portion of the grill at a much higher heat than the other. For inspiration, this grants you the power to simultaneously flip seared steaks and bake sides mere inches from one another.

Features:

Leads the pack with reliable ignition, swap-in infrared burner, and best in class warranty.
  • Standing proud and dependable, the Blaze Traditional didn’t blow Chef Tony away with its feature list, but some convenient quality of life add-ons lifted an eyebrow. Blaze’s ignition system makes another solid appearance here — these flamethrower ignitions are far more dependable than piezo spark designs (and if you do have to replace them, they’re much cheaper). They’re also far simpler: a separator in the grill sends a small gas line through each igniter and, when used, the sparker igniter throws a small flame that can light the whole grill in one fell swoop. If any igniter fails, the crossover plates in the back step up for the assist; if the whole system goes, the secondary flash tube ignition comes to bat. Flash tubes can’t fail, period. If you can produce fire of any kind, and gas is trickling to that tube, the burners will light every time.

    Snap in and out infrared caught Chef's attention, however. Most high-end grills won’t let you purchase an aftermarket infrared accessory burner like this; Blaze offers it whenever you want, because all these burners are easily swappable. Pop off a regular burner and slip in the plug and play infrared burner — that’s it. It doesn’t get simpler.

Other accessories include a branded grill cover, robust smoker box, and premium rotisserie kit (which happily works in tandem with the backburner for delicious roasted entrées). For freestanding Blaze Traditional models, the grill cart sneaks in a convenient paper towel rack holder against the double-walled doors, a propane tank holder with locking mechanism, swivel-locking casters, and removable side shelves for extra space and easier storage — naturally, the Blaze Traditional Built-In model doesn’t benefit from these niceties.

Chef Tony’s favorite feature? The warranty, hands down. Blaze guarantees this grill for the lifetime of the original purchaser. If that doesn’t qualify as customer service, we don’t know what does.

When will my item arrive?

Once shipped, items usually arrive within 3-5 business days. While UPS and FedEx are our carriers for smaller items, be aware that larger items and orders are shipped via freight. The freight process is a bit more complicated than what we’ve all come to expect for small parcels, so it’s important that you’re prepared and understand what’s required of you well before delivery day.

  • Most freight products ship on a pallet
  • Some carriers will call to schedule a delivery window, while others will deliver the shipment to a reasonably accessible location closest to your residence (their goal is to deliver as near a garage door as they can).
  • We’ll specify which process you can expect in your shipping confirmation email.

For carriers that schedule delivery appointments:

Carriers that schedule delivery appointments require you to be home for delivery and provide your signature. The delivery is made with a semi-truck with lift gate services, and the shipment is dropped off at the curb. If you authorize the shipping company to leave the delivery without a signature, BBQGuys can’t be held responsible for damages that occur during delivery. As complicated as this process may seem, we’ve only scratched the surface here — please review our detailed guide to freight delivery so there are no surprises when a freight shipment heads your way.

For carriers that deliver without an appointment:

Carriers that deliver without an appointment don’t require you to be home or set up a delivery window, and you aren’t required to sign for the pallet(s). Instead of scheduling an appointment, arranging your schedule to be home for the delivery, and signing to confirm receipt, you can sit back and let your items come to you. If you’re home at the time of the drop-off, you can request the driver place your delivery in the garage; if you’re out of the house, the driver will leave it near the garage or doorstep.
