Commercial-Style Grill for At-Home Entertainment

The 25-inch Blaze Prelude LBM propane grill provides affordable commercial style grills designed with your outdoor BBQ challenges in mind. Grill with confidence behind the power of 3 commercial-grade, 16-gauge 304 stainless steel tube burners that deliver an impressive 14,000 BTUs of cooking performance for a total of 42,000 BTUs. The 8mm stainless steel cooking rods enhance searing capability on a spacious 558 square inches of cooking area, more than enough to feed a crowd of hungry guests. Plus, Blazes Push & Turn flame-thrower ignition ensures a reliable start every time; in the unlikely event it fails, the backup flash tube ignition and crossover channels step up to light the burners so you can grill on.

Comes with 2 Tasty Sides: Cooking Versatility & Incredible Warranties

On other grills, cooking more than one item at a time can be a struggle. That's not the case for the Blaze Prelude LBM, which includes heat zone separators that help you create varying levels of heat with each burner. Sear on one side, slow roast on the other, and do everything in between to make sure your guests leave satisfied. Plus, the removable warming rack is an ideal place to keep bread and other food heated while you grill. As far as warranties go, it's hard to beat Blazes usual best-in-class, lifetime warranty but that didn't stop them from tacking on a 3-year, multi-user warranty that covers commercial settings like apartment complexes and condos.

I would buy this product again.

We "retired" a Napolian that lasted 20 some years in coastal South Carolina. Steel based grills last 2 to 3! My new grill looks better cooks better and is obviously heaver stainless steel than the one I replaced. We are more than satisfied.

7 years after purchase - great grill and customer service

Bought the grill in Sept 2014. We use it very frequently (3-4 times/week). Produces great heat.. Very satisfied with it over the years. Good value for the price. However, the stainless steel parts inside the grill are very corroded after 7 years of use. See photos. Not 316 stainless like much more expensive makes. I contacted customer service and they agreed to send new parts. I was quite surprised since I have bought many grills over the years and got nothing when they fell apart (cheaper grills so not unexpected). The burners are still okay, some corrosion but not affecting performance. I am now going to install the new parts and also add an exhaust hood.

This grill exceeds expectations

We are super pleased with this grill. We do not need a very large grill or a ton of bells and whistles, but It ticks all the boxes for us: The build /parts are high quality. It has the capability to add upgrades if we decide to down the road. It is easy to use. It heats to temp quickly, way faster than any grill we have had in the past. For a smaller grill it has enough height to grill an upright "beer can chicken". The drip tray is just like the one I have on my indoor stove which makes it super easy to clean. We have not had it long, so I cannot speak to durability yet, though my husband keeps commenting that it is even nicer than he was expecting. We had been hoping to purchase a grill made in the U.S., and somehow thought that Blaze grills were, but it turns out they are not. I did not research that well enough, so that is on me. If for some reason we had to purchase a new grill, I would try to find something made in the U.S. first, but if I could not find a comparable U.S. made grill I would definitely purchase another Blaze.

I would buy it again.

The grill works great. However, the Blaze Use and Care Guide has 10 words to explain how it needs to be installed. No diagrams. No detailed instructions on fit. Those 10 words do not tell if the grill needs to be sealed on the edges after it is resting on the lip of the frame. There are pages of warnings on gas and ventilation which is certainly necessary. But when rain water fills the drip pan during a storm it seems the more clear and detailed instructions are required on how it MUST be installed.

Expert Review

The Skinny:

  • 304-grade stainless steel construction with outstandingly thick components
  • Extremely even temperatures and heat zone separators make grilling easy
  • Push & Turn flame-thrower ignition ensures effortless startup every time
  • Backed by Blaze’s best-in-class, lifetime warranty for residential use
  • Great for contractors thanks to its 3-year, commercial warranty for multi-user settings

From the beginning, Blaze has committed to pushing the boundaries of affordable Premium-class grills and outdoor living products. The Blaze Prelude LBM gas grill is just the latest example of the company’s ingenuity in action, with many Blaze hallmarks making an appearance: 304-grade stainless steel construction, heat zone separators, foolproof ignition, a best-in-class warranty, and more. Throw in a multi-user warranty for property owners and contractors, and you’ve got all the ingredients for a commercial-style grill anyone can use.

We didn’t pick just anyone for this Blaze Prelude grill review, though — it was none other than Chef Tony, our resident grill master, who conducted every test you’ll read about below. He measured all aspects of quality, performance, and features through a series of data-driven and real-world grilling tests, giving us a complete picture of the Blaze Prelude LBM grill’s value. Chef Tony used the freestanding Blaze Prelude 4-burner gas grill for this test; the Prelude is also available as 3-burner, with built-in variations for each model. (If you’re inserting the Prelude into a BBQ island made of combustible materials like wood, be sure you have a Blaze insulated grill jacket for safety.)

Quality

The Blaze Prelude boasts thick, commercial-grade components and an unbeatable warranty covering residential and commercial use.

To see just how seriously the Blaze Prelude grill takes premium quality, Chef Tony inspected the chemical composition of every component using an XRF analyzer. He wasn’t surprised to discover the Blaze Prelude LBM grill features commercial-grade stainless steel inside and out — minus a few key spots. The only components not made with 304-grade material are the interior hood lining, perforated flame stabilizing grids, and firebox, which registered as 443-grade stainless. This is smart, intentional engineering: the high titanium content of 443 stainless steel lends superior strength and flexibility under intense heat, meaning it’s less likely to crack, warp, or suffer broken welds.

  • Chef Tony then used calipers to measure the thickness of each component. The exterior hood checked in at 16-gauge, while the interior lining was a bit thinner at 18-gauge; this double-walled construction protects the steel from discoloration due to heat, helping the grill maintain its shiny finish. As for the grill grates, they earn their “heavy-duty” name with solid 8mm stainless steel rods that provide equal amounts of longevity and searing capability. The Prelude’s perforated flame stabilizing grids proved to be 14-gauge — “definitely above average quality for a Premium-class grill,” per Chef Tony — and the newly designed tube burners (16-gauge), control panel (16-gauge), and firebox (18-gauge) all returned desirable thicknesses as well. “All of this together certainly sets the Blaze Prelude grill toward the top of the Premium class,” Chef Tony says.

  • Blaze Prelude LBM 8mm cooking rods

Blaze drives home the Prelude LBM grill’s rock-solid quality with the best-in-class, lifetime residential warranty for which the brand is so well known. The difference here, though, is Blaze’s addition of a 3-year, multi-user warranty covering commercial applications like apartment complexes, condos, multi-family dwellings, resorts, and more. That’s a massive advantage for contractors, builders, and property managers seeking an affordable yet high-quality grill.

Performance

Between consistently even temperatures and heat zone separators, the Prelude LBM makes grilling easy for everyone.

Chef Tony’s performance tests started with objective temperature readings collected from thermocouples placed across the grill surface. The low-temperature trial saw all burners set to low for 30 minutes, producing an average of 230°F and all probes within 30°F–40°F of that number. According to Chef Tony, “That’s as good as, or better, than most home ovens.” The 15-minute preheat test with all burners on high yielded 595°F on average, more than hot enough to sear a steak. After an additional 5 minutes on high, the average temperature climbed to 655°F; the maximum variance was located in the rear-center of the grill, where the temperature probe was 60°F hotter than the average. “Certainly nothing to cry about,” says Chef Tony, who then turned to real-world grilling tests for another perspective on performance.

  • First up, the burger test: 24 patties covering the cooking grates end to end. The Blaze Prelude LBM gas grill cruised through with no problem despite the front being a little cooler than the rear and middle — Chef Tony noted the burgers closest to him simply needed another minute or two, no front-to-back shuffling required. To gauge how well the heat zone separators work, he simultaneously grilled cedar-plank salmon, broccolini, sliced bell peppers, and whole red onions at different temperatures. The results, Chef? “Pretty much flawless.” Gentler heat was equally accessible for the Blaze Prelude grill, which just as easily handled rosemary and sea salt-crusted flatbreads.

  • Blaze Prelude LBM having burgers cooked on it

Finally, Chef Tony sprung for an “All-American meal and grill test” — lucky him, huh? — featuring potato medallions and a few steaks. The potatoes received a thin, crispy crust with smooth and creamy centers, while the steaks came out with crosshatched sear marks. All things considered, Chef Tony assigned the Blaze Prelude grill “very high marks for the performance portion of our test.”

Features

From foolproof ignition to its slide-out drip tray, the Blaze Prelude gas grill prioritizes a premium experience.

One of the first things that stood out to Chef Tony was the Prelude grill’s bead-blasted cooking grates, which have a smooth tooth for cooking oils to stick to. This allows the grates to season faster and keep that seasoning longer than a smooth-polished rod would. On the 4-burner model, those bead-blasted grates provide 748 square inches between the main grilling area and removable warming rack; that total dips to 558 square inches on the 3-burner Blaze Prelude LBM. And as noted in the Performance section, the stainless steel heat zone separators create a true multi-zone grilling environment to simplify the grilling experience.

Speaking of burners, each of the Blaze Prelude’s commercial-style burners are rated for a powerful 14,000 BTUs and ignited using Push & Turn flame-thrower technology. Chef Tony calls this “one of the best approaches to ignition on the market,” and the design takes things to the next level with crossover channels between each burner that make it possible to light the entire grill from a single flame. In the highly unlikely event primary ignition fails, Chef Tony found the backup flash tube ignition to be extremely easy to use. The flash tube carries a flame down to the main burners, meaning you don’t have to remove anything or even get your hands dirty. That last point applies at large, too: Blaze’s full-width, slide-out drip tray makes cleanup incredibly simple, something Chef Tony appreciated during his many grilling tests.

The final features are specific to the freestanding cart model — remember, the Blaze Prelude LBM gas grill is available in a built-in configuration — but worth calling out all the same. For starters, the freestanding Prelude has a pair of side shelves that offer convenient prep space and can be removed when storage space is tight. Within the cart is a dedicated spot for propane tank storage, complete with a locking bolt to keep the tank secure, along with a paper towel holder attached inside the left door. Not to be overlooked, Blaze includes 4 heavy-duty caster wheels on the cart for easy mobility around the backyard. Freestanding or built in, 3 burners or 4, we can confidently say the Blaze Prelude gas grill is poised to deliver on its promise of affordable premium grilling.

Question:
The blaze 25 inch grill. How does it get installed without purchasing the jacketWas This Helpful?
Answers:

Hi Adrian. If the Blaze grill is being installed in a completely non-combustible structure, the grill is supported by the counter top. There is a flange on both sides and the back of the grill head that will support the grill.

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.
