Description
The Blaze BLZ-5-IJ is the stainless steel insulated jacket for Blaze's 40-inch 5-burner Premium LTE built-in gas grills, such as the Premium LTE+ 40-inch grill (BLZ-5LTE3) and the Premium LTE 40-inch grill (BLZ-5LTE2). Blaze requires an insulated jacket whenever one of its gas grills is built into a combustible enclosure, for example a wood-framed outdoor kitchen or BBQ island. The jacket lines the grill opening and carries the grill on a self-supporting ledge around the sides and back.
The jacket measures 42-3/8" W x 23-1/8" D x 9-3/4" H and needs an island cut-out of 40-3/4" W x 21-3/4" D x 9-3/4" H. That is larger than the grill's own cut-out (38-3/8" W x 21-1/4" D x 8-1/2" H), so size the opening for the jacket when you plan a combustible island.
Plan before you order: the grill is sold separately, and the jacket does not change the grill's clearances above, behind or beside it. Blaze makes a different jacket for each grill family: the LTE PRO 40-inch grill takes the BLZ-5-IJ2, the Professional LUX 4-burner takes the BLZ-4PRO-IJ, and 32-inch Prelude LBM and Premium LTE grills take the BLZ-4-IJ.
Features
- Made for Blaze 40-inch 5-burner Premium LTE grills: the jacket Blaze lists for its 5-burner Premium LTE built-in grills.
- Required for combustible islands: Blaze's grill manual makes a Blaze insulated jacket mandatory when the island or outdoor kitchen is built of combustible material.
- Self-supporting ledge: a ledge around the sides and back supports the grill in the opening.
- Stainless steel construction: made for outdoor kitchens and backed by Blaze's lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects.
- Published cut-out: 40-3/4" W x 21-3/4" D x 9-3/4" H, so the island builder can frame the opening before the jacket arrives.

What's included
- One stainless steel insulated jacket for 40-inch 5-burner Premium LTE grills (BLZ-5-IJ)
Installation planning
- Cut the island opening for the jacket: 40-3/4" W x 21-3/4" D x 9-3/4" H (a 1/4" to 1/2" gap below the jacket is possible). Set the jacket in, then lower the grill into it with a second person.
- A licensed professional contractor should install the jacket, and a licensed gas professional should make every gas connection. Blaze prohibits a rubber gas line connected directly to the appliance inside the jacket, even one supplied with it: use a stainless steel flex line. Different fittings or a gas pipe extension may be needed so the line does not kink and no excess line is left inside the jacket.
- The jacket protects the combustible structure below the cooking surface only. The appliance's own clearances above, behind and beside it still apply (see its manual).
- Leak-test every gas connection as the final step and correct any leak before use.
- Grill clearances (Premium LTE+ and LTE grill manual, 7/16/2025): 18" from combustible construction at the sides and back; never under combustible overhead construction; under a non-combustible overhead, 72" with a UL-approved vent hood of at least 1,000 CFM, larger than the cooking area. Cut a 1" air gap in the front face of the countertop below the control panel.
- Island vents on both sides: propane needs lower vents (bottom within 1" of the island floor, top no more than 5" up, at least 1/2 sq. in. of free area per lb of stored fuel each); natural gas needs upper vents within 5" of the island top (at least 1 sq. in. per lb each). Openings must admit a 1/8" rod and stay clear.
- The grill's lights need a 15-amp outlet on a GFI-protected breaker inside the island (back wall). A permit may be required for outdoor kitchen construction.
Warranty
Blaze lifetime warranty against defects in manufacturing and workmanship, to the original purchaser, for products in ordinary single-family home use. The appliance you set in the jacket has its own warranty, shown on that product's page and in its manual; Blaze voids the appliance warranty when it is not installed by a qualified installer. Ask us and we will send the current Blaze warranty document before you order.
