Blaze LTE+ 40-Inch Gas Grill vs Lynx Sedona 42-Inch Gas Grill

Buy the Blaze LTE+ if you want maximum grilling area and burner count for feeding a crowd; its five 14,000 BTU cast stainless burners, 915 square inches and 9mm triangular searing rods give more usable surface and harder sear marks than the Lynx Sedona. Buy the Lynx Sedona if you want a simpler three-burner infrared setup with a rotisserie and a wider 42-inch body from a brand with a long high-end reputation. Owners of the Blaze praise the spring-assisted hood and even heat; Sedona owners like the infrared sear and build but note fewer burners mean less zone flexibility.

• Choose the Blaze LTE+ if you cook for a crowd and want five burners, a large 915-square-inch surface and a rear infrared rotisserie burner.
• Choose the Lynx Sedona if you prefer a three-burner infrared grill with a rotisserie and a wider 42-inch footprint from a premium brand.
