Power/Heating
Blaze BBQ grills come with five stainless steel main burners that deliver an impressive 14,000 BTUs of power each. It also has a 10,000 BTU infrared rear burner that can work well if you have a rotisserie kit available. Some of the top infrared grills work just as well, if not better than the Blaze Grill. Added up, the Blaze BBQ grill boasts an impressive 80,000 BTUs of power. Of course, not everybody needs this much, so consider the Summerset Grill if this is you.

Size/Versatility
The Blaze Grill boasts an exceptional 915 square inches of cooking space. It’s not the highest we’ve seen, but it’s pretty close. You’ll still be able to load it up with a ton of food to feed everyone in the backyard. Of course, you can check out the Bull Grill if you don’t need that much space. The Blaze Grill also comes with a conversion kit so you can switch to propane tanks if you want.
Durability
If there is one downside to the Blaze Grill it’s that it’s exceptionally heavy. At 140 pounds it will take two people and a sturdy cut out to get this grill in place. It doesn’t weigh as much as the Napoleon Burners Prestige PRO 665 Natural Gas Grill, but you should hire a professional if you need help installing it. But other than that, the Blaze Grill is constructed from 304-grade stainless steel inside and out while the interior firebox, warming rack, drip pan, and inner panel of the double-walled lid are 442-grade stainless steel.
Ease of Use
The Heat Zone Dividers on the Blaze Grill let you cook multiple types of food at the same time using different temperatures. You won’t need to cook your meat first and then wait for the grill to cool to throw on the veggies. The grills aren’t porcelain-coated, or at least there’s no mention anywhere of them being porcelain-coated, so they will be a little harder to clean.

Value
One of the best features of the Blaze Grill is its lifetime warranty. It covers the grill and everything with it for the lifetime of the original purchaser. The Blaze Grill also comes with a flamethrower ignition which is far more dependable than spark ignitions and much less to replace should they go. And if they do, the Flash Tube ignition steps up to the plate.
Blaze Grill Wrap Up
There’s not much to complain about when it comes to the Blaze Grill. There’s a reason why it’s considered a premium grill, after all. Sure, it may be a little tougher to clean, and it can stand to lose a few pounds, but these inconveniences pale in comparison to the plethora of positives the Blaze Grill offers.
