Hey Jim, I sell Blaze Products. Please do not wait on the griddle, get it going! I really like the upgraded features, it will be a popular product for sure. No more rubber grips, upgraded + backlit knobs with the safety feature.. although subtle, they make a great impression in quality to the consumer... I would say $2,199 might be a good price point. Just my 2 cents, cheers!
Is the 316L marine grade version ever going to be made in a 40" grill or even a pro lux 34"/44" marine grade version? Is the rotisserie motor going to be changed to be able to handle over 15 pounds that the current one is rated too? Any plans on adding vertical height to the LTE lineup? Thanks!
I hate to say “no” to so many good questions. But… at the moment, there are no plans for these things. I might add, these are all great ideas and I’ll definitely bring them up at the next R and D meeting. We’re always looking for new, innovative ideas.
@haasrocks1 All good! Thanks for the reply. I'll probably end up grabbing the marine grade 32" LTE+ version when it comes out. I like the new look of it a lot and the little things like the magnetic light switch, spring assisted hood and the new control knobs are all great improvements. On the new marine grade LTE+ coming out, what material will the control knobs and springs be made out of? Thanks.
@@aaronolsen8787 more great questions…. I’m on the road for the next two weeks but next time I’m in an R and D meeting I’ll confirm material. Since our current marine grade grill is 100% 316L stainless, I would think they’ll stick with that concept. I’ll let you know as soon as I find out.
@haasrocks1 well if you do, I am a buyer. I like the build of the pro but the lit knobs of the LTE+. I liked the napoleon because of the knobs and the light changing with the burner on but the build quality is not there. I love that It is now in the LTE but the premium feature should be in your premium Grill.
Yes, the Blaze LTE and LTE2 grills have a red LED highlight above the knob, as opposed to these that are back lit. The older version is still available. This is just another tier, if you will, that we’ve added.
Love the new look. Have a 5 LTE and love that grill, but this is really cool
Jim - I would love to see a video discussing the new ceramic flame tamers.
Coming soon…. I have it on my list.

Will the upgraded knobs be on the pro series soon?
It’s an idea that’s been floated around but no official word on that, as of now.

Nice! The Lit Knobs reminded me of light sabers when the lights were turned off. 🙂 Nice looking grill! Did the lights change?

What about the interior lights….are those the same?
@@Smellslikenarvasa yes, but they come on automatically when the hood is lifted.
