I cant speak for the Blaze LTE but I own the Blaze Professional shown here. I don’t recommend it because it leaks water through that front shelf directly into and fills the drip tray with water which makes a huge mess inside the cabinet or your built in version. I emailed Blaze and they wrote back to me that nothing could be done. I have a cover for it, but inevitably you forget to put the cover on one night, or it starts to rain while you are grilling and then you have a holy mess. Also, when I try to set the burners on low heat, they blow out very easily. That could possibly be adjusted but I expected that the burner would be adjusted correctly for a $3k+ grill. It’s a real shame because as the reviewer points out, it is a very solidly built grill. The components are heavy and seem to be high quality, but I cant get over the leaking into the drip tray, it is just a fatal design flaw on the professional model.
this pro really is as nice a grill ive seen on here i think maybe the coyote s series i think is my favorite. its good to hear feedback from owners on this stuff.
I was considering a Blaze until i found out they are made in China, parts are crazy expensive $150 EACH for replacement flame tamers, and customers reporting great difficulty in getting warranty issues addressed. Now looking more at American made Artisan.
So outside of your reviews I can’t seem to find any feedback at all. Amazon reviews pretty much say that the stand is garbage and it will blow over in a windstorm. The wheels are useless making it impossible to move. Others say the flare ups are insane and ruin virtually everything with a fat content higher than chicken. They also claim the heat distribution is very uneven. Would you have any input to any of these concerns? A lifetime warranty is amazing and no frills is what I’m really looking for. My current Weber summit hold is going on 15 yrs. I really want a large cook area with no flare ups, no burners to replace every 6:7 years. My concern is the lack of reviews on this make me feel like it’s a fly by night grill and a lifetime warranty may be useless
2500-3500 range. I can go a tad higher if it’s really worth it. My Weber summit has been by my side for over a decade. I’m heading into retirement and while I won’t have kids to cook for I like a big grill. Thanks
I have a Blaze grill that was installed in 2014 by the former owner. They took terrible care of it. I made the mistake of replacing all the cast burners rather than dragging the unit to the curb. The burners wouldn't light fully. The flare guards, rather than reducing flare, tend to more often cause it by trapping drippings within range of the flames. Simple things seem to take forever with this grill. You can't even cook hot dogs evenly. With the 4 inch wide opening across the entire back of this unit, slow and indirect cooking methods are both frustrating for temperature regulation and they are a massive waste of fuel. You may as well take a 6 inch hole saw to the lid. The rear infrared burner won't light any more. Drip guards over the igniters have rusted off. The outer finish pits, and I don't live near salt water or salt pools. Because these aren't defects in manufacturing, the warranty is toilet paper. My Blaze grill is built in and to be honest I would actually give the Pro a shot, but in a blaze of genius, Blaze doesn't make a 40-inch drop in replacement for their 40 inch non-Pro, the choices are 32 and 44 due to the H-shaped burner design that is pretty much an admission that the standard grill design is flawed. When a manufacturer sells two grades of product, you can often foretell the problems you'll have with the lower quality model by looking at the issues they addressed in the higher price unit.
Thank you for your honest reply. I have seen too many reports of uncontrollable heat and flare ups as you describe. I liked this for the lifetime warranty. But why buy a grill that flees up non stop. I don’t want an infrared burner. Don’t want a rotisserie, I want a solid grill with 6 burners that produces real heat evenly. I can’t believe 25 yrs later I’m I the same dilemma I was when I 1st settled for my Weber. You have any suggestions on what you’re looking for to replace yours?
@@curiousbuyer8431 I'm still shopping. I have a granite countertop that complicates the choices. Unfortunately Blaze is all the rave, and that's great when the product is new and when you use a grill for fast cooking methods. I don't want to buy a separate cooking product for indirect and slow. I just need a grill that closes and ideally has a circle vent (not a chimney) and that fits the cutout. I expect I'll need to get the granite recut to install what I want.
Any issue with it at all? I’m seeing a LOT of people complaining of flare ups and rusting burners. Those are 2 issues I was leaning towards a blaze. Thanks in advance. Why does spending 2k plus have to be this hard lol
this is the best grill channel on RUclips - thank you!
wow, thank you!

Hmm thanks so much for the feedback!
@@embersliving same issue with my weber S650

Thanks 🙏 wanted to buy the professional 34 lux but at $5,600 and hearing about these flaws I’m gonna have to pass
Would love to custom fit those professional burners on my grill at home lol

Do you see a need for a seat burner for the pro or do you think the better burners in the pro are sufficient?
sear burner never hurts
Do you know the difference between the Blaze LTE grills and the Broil Chef/Bbqtek 500S ?
im not familiar with the broil chef ?
Blaze grills are simply the best. I score them a 5 out of 5
cant argue

@@curiousbuyer8431 Simply fantastic, no issues
How long have you had it?
@@curiousbuyer8431 I purchased them last summer. I think they are great.
Versenden sie einen Grill auch nach Deutschland??
no
