    Bluegaz Z - unboxed and assembled it today

    So, as I've mentioned before Bluegaz is sponsoring me with a gas grill. I picked it up two weeks ago, but haven't had time to assemble it. But today was the day. Assembly was straight forward. Everything was in the boxes, all the bolts were there, and the manual was correct. So I just bolted everything together, it took me less than an hour. I figured I'd read every step of the manual so I don't miss anything.

    First impressions are: very sturdy, well built, many thought through details. I like that it's all stainless, that includes the cabinet. Good size wheels (but not great), so it's easy to move around. Way better than the tiny wheels that the PK360 has for example. The cabinet door where thick, and the hinges adjustable for perfect alignment. Very nice touch. The grill grates are massive, 8 mm square bar. I like the ceramic burners. Fired it up, that was easy, and let it burn for a while.

    One small remark is that it would be nice with some kind of icon or indicator to know which of the three knobs is which. But I'll learn.

    The oak wood handle is nice, and I got a few extras from the good folks at Bluegaz. My favorite is the super simple little side shelf that just fits like a glove. That will come in handy for sure. They offer a full table the size of the grill if one wants to go down the outdoor kitchen route. I skipped that. But my twin sister has it, and it looks real slick.

    Here are some photos. So far, very impressed. Will report back after the first cook.

      I plan on cooking on it tomorrow, doing some dry run tests now to see how I can handle temp and two zones.

    8mmm square bar grates??? WOW. They look like stainless, too, right?

    Wow. Yeah, that does look to be a pretty nice setup. I agree, though - time to burn it in!


    We don't need to see it NEW, that's what website marketing pics are for! lol We need to see that baby being ABUSED!

      Yes, 8 mm. Those things are a beast. And the whole grill is stainless. Everything. Very nice. And yes, I know, who cares about new n’ shiny? Gonna grease it up real good when doing the first cook tomorrow.

    Congrats Henrik.I know you will tame this beast.

      Thanks Ron! I played with it today to figure out how to best configure it for low n slow, took a few attempts but now I got it. Will do beef ribs for the first cook.

    Those grates are impressive, should be very useful with that spacing. The whole rig is impressive, but those grates.......

      Looks like this grill is available here in the US under the Zwilling Flammkraft label. There look to be some detail component differences, but the basic design/features are essentially the same. The price is staggering for the average enthusiast, but such is marketing.

        Wow. That gasser is almost too pretty to cook on. Congrats on getting a nice deal from the manufacturer. I'm sure you'll return their generosity ten-fold when you report results of your meticulous testing and ongoing use.

        Let us know when you show up in their ads.
