Blaze LTE+ 32-Inch 4-Burner Built-In Propane Gas Grill w/ Lift-Assist Hood & Rear Infrared Burner - BLZ-4LTE3-LP

I'm a contractor and had a client request an outdoor kitchen with this grill (along with several other blaze products). It all looks great on initial glance. But when you look closer, all of the welds look average at best. To be fair, I'm not a welder, but I would expect when you pay $2000+ for a grill insert, you'd get a product that had full reliable weld beads, not just folded sheet metal with tac welds in the corner.

This thing is built like tank and looks great, but unfortunately, its the worst grill I've ever owned. Feels like there is a fundamental design flaw. The flame tamers are useless and way too close to the cooking surface. Anything other than a bone dry steak turns into an inferno. Never burned so much food before. Believe the other 1 star reviews. Look elsewhere.

I bought a similar blaze grill and vent hood. The grill regulator was faulty and the grill burned way too hot. After I paid a plumber to install an additional, unnecessary gas regulator & gauge, they replaced the regulator. Didn't send any other new grill parts even though I requested this. The high heat burned up the motors on the vent hood. Blaze did not honor the warranty. Now I have to replace the vent hood. Painful and disappointing.

First Blaze product for me. What I like: I love the lid assist, the upgraded lights on the knobs and inside the grill. The grill feels well built, we will see with time. The grill gets extremely hot quick. BBQ guys customer service is great, product was shipped like a tank. What I don't like: I have seasoned the grates multiple times and still struggle to keep all meats from sticking to them. Grease pan catches water like crazy. Small rain and the pan is overflowing, even with the grill cover on. No clue what the thermometer is reading, the grill is hotter than h3ll itself, but still reads below 300 degrees.

The grill has a solid build and looks great, but performance has been disappointing. After only a few uses, I noticed uneven cooking with noticeable hot and cold spots. The flame tamer system doesn't seem reliable. The flare-ups are constant when cooking fat heavy meats such as burgers. The thermostat also appears inaccurate, rarely reading above 300°F even when the burners are on high with the lid closed. The biggest issue, however, is the grease pan. Our grill was professionally installed in an outdoor kitchen, and every time we go to cook, the grease tray is full of water. This leads to grease and water dripping into the cabinet below, creating a messy and frustrating cleanup. Emptying it is nearly impossible without spilling. When I contacted BBQ Guys, they said this is a common issue and suggested either removing the grease pan after every use (which is impractical) or buying their cover. The water comes in on the front side of the grill and drips directly into the pan. Just a small amount of rain fills and overflows the pan every time. Unfortunately, the cover is not custom-fit, looks bulky, and isn't an appealing solution, especially for a grill at this price point. However, that's the only option and I guess what I'll have to do. I didn't see any reviews mentioning these issues beforehand, but had I known, I would not have purchased this grill. For the cost, I expected far better design and functionality. Overall, very disappointing.

I have used my Blaze grill 3-4 times a week for the last 2 years and it keeps delivering consistent results. Reliable and dependable every time. The ceramic inserts are a great addition.

So far so good! Was a little concerned with the reviews about the grill not getting hot enough. It's been a great grill so far and definitely happy with the purchase!

Bought this grill for our built in and it has been worst grill we've ever bought. Grill takes forever to heat up and takes forever to grill. Will be replacing next year and this is junk. I never leave reviews but this grill is a lemon.

Love the lighted knobs and lift assisted hood. Knobs turn red when on. Added the ceramic burners and work really well. Cooks great!

We built an outdoor kitchen with this grill as the centerpiece. So simple to use and performance is exceptional.
