Rethinking the Gas Grill: Meet the Dragon X™ Predator Grills, Burner Platform
For decades, gas grill manufacturers have focused on one thing: making burners hotter.
But what if the real problem isn't how much heat a grill can produce?
What if it's how that heat is managed?
That's the question that led to the development of the Dragon X™ Thermally Tuned Burner Platform—the patented technology at the heart of every Predator Grill.
A Different Approach to Gas Grilling
Traditional gas grills allow heat to build throughout the burner system. Over time, excessive temperatures can shorten burner life, overheat the firebox, and contribute to grease flare-ups and declining performance.
Instead of accepting those limitations, Predator Grills started with a different idea.
What if the burner itself could actively manage heat?
The result is Dragon X™.
A Thermally Tuned Burner Platform
Dragon X™ isn't simply another burner—it's an integrated thermal management system.
The burner tubes, burner module, and Electronic Thermal Control (ETC®) system work together to manage heat inside the burner assembly while allowing the cooking chamber to perform like a premium gas grill.
The system is designed to keep the burner tubes operating at an ideal temperature while maintaining the burner module at a much lower temperature through active thermal management.
Does Dragon X™ Change the Cooking Temperature?
This is one of the questions we hear most often.
The answer is no.
Dragon X™ is not a temperature controller for your food.
The cooking temperature is still determined entirely by the cook using the gas control valves.
Whether you're grilling burgers, roasting chicken, or searing steaks at over 550°F, the upper cooking chamber reaches the temperature you choose.
Dragon X™ simply works behind the scenes to help protect the burner module while delivering consistent performance.
The Heart of Every Predator Grill
Every Predator Grill is built around one purpose-built component: the Dragon X™ Thermally Tuned Burner Platform.
It's the technology that makes Predator different.
Not because it changes how you cook...
But because it changes how the grill manages heat.
That's the innovation behind every Predator Grill.
