Blaze LTE PRO Built-in Natural Gas Griddle

Yes, because this is a built-in natural gas unit, it requires a permanent gas line connection and a custom cutout in your outdoor kitchen island. We strongly recommend hiring a licensed gas plumber or professional contractor to ensure the installation meets local safety codes.

The three independent burners allow you to set different temperature zones across the 36.75-inch surface. This means you can sear proteins on one side while sautéing vegetables or keeping finished food warm on the other, giving you much more control than a single-zone griddle.

The reinforced 8mm stainless steel surface is durable and retains heat exceptionally well, but it does require proper seasoning and regular cleaning. After each use, you should scrape off debris into the front-facing drip trough and apply a light coat of oil to prevent rust and maintain the non-stick properties.

The digital interface removes the guesswork from outdoor cooking by displaying real-time surface temperatures. The integrated meat probes allow you to monitor the internal temperature of your food directly on the griddle's display, ensuring you hit your target doneness without constantly lifting the lid.

The spring-assisted lid makes the heavy-duty hood feel nearly weightless, which is a significant convenience given its size. It allows you to easily cover the griddle to trap heat for melting cheese or steaming, and it protects the cooking surface from the elements when the unit is not in use.

The unit features a front-facing drip trough that collects grease and food debris as you cook. This design makes cleanup straightforward, as you can easily scrape waste into the trough and empty it periodically, keeping the cooking surface clear and preventing flare-ups.
