Overview
The Premium LTE+ is the current version of the Blaze Premium LTE, the brand's core built-in gas grill. It keeps the 304 stainless steel construction, cast burners and lifetime warranty, and adds a hood-assist mechanism, a lighting system whose interior lights stay on while you cook, and knobs that glow red when a burner is lit.
This is the 40-inch, 5-burner built-in model, propane version (BLZ-5LTE3-LP). The natural gas version is BLZ-5LTE3-NG.
How it cooks
Heat zone separators split the grill into 5 independent zones, so you can sear on one side and cook gently on the other. Stainless tri-baffle flame tamers spread the heat and vaporize drippings to limit flare-ups, and a full-width drip tray pulls out for cleaning. Lighting uses a push-and-turn flame-thrower ignition, with flash-tube crossovers as a backup.
Installing it
The grill head drops into a 38 3/8 in. W x 21 1/4 in. D x 8 1/2 in. H cutout. Leave a 1 in. air gap in the countertop face below the control panel for airflow, keep 18 in. from combustible construction at the sides and back, and allow 72 in. to overhead construction (with a vent hood). A combustible island requires a Blaze insulated jacket (BLZ-5-IJ). The listing is the built-in grill head; call us if you want it on a Blaze cart.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the rotisserie kit included?
No. The grill has the 10,000 BTU infrared rear burner; the Blaze rotisserie kit for 5-burner grills (BLZ-5-ROTIS-SS) is sold separately.
What changed from the Premium LTE?
The LTE+ adds the hood-assist mechanism, interior lights that stay on during use and red-lit knobs. Burners, BTU, cooking area and cutout are the same as the LTE.
Can it go in a wood-framed island?
Only with a Blaze insulated jacket (BLZ-5-IJ). Without one, the island must be non-combustible.
