Blue Ember Grills: Feature
Packed, Technologically Advanced, Good
Quality
Suprisingly, only a few grill
manufactures have stepped into the 21st century
with their grill designs. Electronics, LCD displays, and
temperature probes are currently found on only a handful of
models. Many of these features and more can be found on some of
the most technologically advanced and feature packed grills
made by Blue Ember.
Blue
Ember grills are a division of Fiesta, which is one of North
America’s largest grill manufacturers. Since 1986 Fiesta
has been making quality grills in both the U.S. and Canada.
Fiesta grills are sold in over 30 countries worldwide, and are
currently made in Dickenson, Tennessee. Fiesta is the
only grill manufacturer who makes every single part for their
grills. From the casting, burners, and all the way down
to the propane cylinders, Fiesta is able to ensure its quality
and craftsmanship goes into every piece. This combined
with in-house customer service really set Fiesta and Blue Ember
grills apart from the competition.
The
Blue Ember line is a small division of Fiesta and is sold
mostly at Sam’s Club, Sears, and other big box discount stores.
Their current lineup of Blue Ember grills only consists of two
models, the iQue and the Blue Ember 500. These grills are both
similar in design; however, the Blue Ember 500 does not include
any of the electronics you would find on the
iQue. Heat
output on these two models starts at 69,000 BTU’s and
goes upward of 84,000 BTU’s and both models are
relatively large with cooking areas ranging from 675 to
875 square inches.
In recent years Blue Ember
has focused on blending technology and grilling together in a
single package. Its most recent design, the iQue, is a
prime example. The new iQue grill takes all the guesswork
out of grilling. It offers pre-programmed
meat settings, fuel monitoring, electronic
lcd temperature controls, and integrated halogen
lighting. These options combined with four 15,000 BTU
burners make this quite a powerful grill. Other Blue Ember
models share the same design ideas and are all feature packed
with lots of accessories while still maintaining high even
heating. In this price range, all these features do come
at a cost, but overall quality is still better than average and
as long as the electronics weather the outdoors, it should last
a good amount of time.
Overall, if you’re looking for a grill with all the bells and
whistles, a Blue Ember may just be the one. As long as you’ve
got an electrical connection and the electronics hold up, you
should be set.
