Description
The Blaze LTE PRO BLZ-GRIDDLE40 is a 40-inch built-in gas griddle with three U-shaped stainless steel tube burners at 15,000 BTU each, 45,000 BTU in total. They heat a reinforced 304 stainless steel cooking plate of 36-3/4" x 17-4/5" (657 sq. in.), split into three zones you control separately.
What sets the LTE PRO apart is its digital temperature screen: three internal thermocouples, one per zone, read the surface temperature, and the screen also shows up to three meat probes that plug into jacks beside the power button. The attached lid is spring-assisted, with a rotating non-slip "H" handle, cushioned sound dampers so it does not slam, and larger peepholes for checking the burners. LED safety glow knobs show when a zone is on, integrated leveling screws let you set the plate level or tilt it toward the drop-in drip trough, and a front drip tray makes cleanup easier. Choose propane (BLZ-GRIDDLE40-LP) or natural gas (BLZ-GRIDDLE40-NG) above to match your gas supply.
It pairs with the LTE PRO 40-inch grill (BLZ-5LTEPRO), which also has a digital temperature screen. For a smaller island, see the LTE+ 30-inch griddle (BLZ-GRIDDLE-LTE3).
Plan before you order: the cut-out is 37-1/2" W x 24-1/4" D x 11-3/16" H with a 1" air gap underneath, the enclosure must be non-combustible (or fitted with a Blaze insulated jacket), the screen and lights need a GFI-protected 15-amp circuit, and Blaze does not allow installation under a combustible roof or overhang.
Features
- 45,000 BTU in three zones: three 15,000 BTU U-shaped stainless burners, each with its own knob, so each zone can run at its own temperature.
- 657 sq. in. stainless plate: a reinforced 304 stainless steel cooking surface, 36-3/4" x 17-4/5".
- Digital temperature screen: live surface readings from three thermocouples plus up to three meat probes, so you cook to temperature instead of guessing.
- Spring-assisted lid: attached lid with a rotating non-slip handle, sound dampers and larger peepholes.
- Grease control: leveling screws tilt the plate toward a drop-in drip trough, with a front-positioned drip tray for cleanup.
- Night-ready controls: LED safety glow knobs and flame-thrower ignition.

Sold separately

- 20 lb propane cylinder (propane models)
Installation planning
- Cut-out: 37-1/2" W x 24-1/4" D x 11-3/16" H, with a 1" air gap underneath. Overall size: 40" W x 29" D x 16-5/16" H.
- Build into a non-combustible enclosure, or use a Blaze insulated jacket when the island is combustible.
- Clearances: at least 18" from combustible construction at the sides and back. Never install under combustible overhead construction. Under a non-combustible overhead, keep 72" and run a vent hood rated at least 1,000 CFM that is larger than the cooking area, with the fan bottom 36" above the cooking surface.
- Island vents: propane (heavier than air) needs lower vents within 1" of the island floor and no more than 5" from the floor to the top of the vent, each with at least 1/2 sq. in. of free area per lb of stored fuel; natural gas needs upper vents within 5" of the island top, each with at least 1 sq. in. per lb of stored fuel. Openings must admit a 1/8" rod.
- Propane: one standard 20 lb cylinder at most, with an overfill prevention device; never use a dented, expired or rusted cylinder. Connect the 3/8" flare hose fitting with no pipe sealant. Natural gas: a flex connector of at least 5/8" diameter to the regulator at the rear right corner, with an accessible shut-off valve supplied by the installer.
- Electrical: a 15-amp breaker with GFI protection for the transformer; outdoor-rated extension cords only.
- Fuel conversion (LP to NG or back) is done only by a licensed gas professional: new burner orifices (6 mm socket) and the regulator's conversion pin moved to match the gas. Leak-test every joint with a 1:1 soapy water solution outdoors before each use; never use a flame.
Seasoning and care: Before first use, coat the plate with oil, heat it until the oil smokes, let it cool, and repeat two to three times, working with the grain. Most cooking happens around 350 to 400 degrees F; never exceed 500 degrees F. Clean after every use with 2 tablespoons of vinegar per half gallon of water and a ScotchBrite-type pad along the grain; avoid steel wool and harsh cleaners, and never flood a hot griddle with cold water. Keep the drip tray in place while cooking and wash it in hot, soapy water once cool. Flames should be mostly blue; adjust the air shutter if they burn yellow.
Warranty
Blaze lifetime warranty (parts only) on the main burners, griddle plate, body and valves, and on stainless components and flame stabilizers; 1 year (parts only) on ignition, lighting and electrical components. For multi-user settings (apartments, hotels and similar), Blaze covers the stainless steel housing, burners, grids, brass valves, liners and manifold for 3 years and other components for 90 days; restaurant use is not covered.
The warranty covers the original owner at the original installation site in the United States and Canada and is not transferable. Register with Blaze within 30 days of purchase to validate the warranty, and keep your receipt. Labor and shipping are not covered, and discoloration or surface rust is excluded unless structural integrity is lost. Installation by an unqualified person voids the warranty.
