Why Predator’s True Blue™ Burners Outperform Stainless Steel Burners—Every Time

Why Predator’s True Blue™ Burners Outperform Stainless Steel Burners—Every Time

At first glance, stainless steel burners might seem like a premium choice. They start strong—producing a clean, blue flame. But the truth is, traditional stainless steel burners are not built to last under the extreme heat and stress of real-world grilling.

Here’s what happens:

🔥 Breakdown Begins Above 750°F

Once stainless steel burners are exposed to high temperatures—especially those above 750°F—the nickel and chrome in the alloy begin to gas off, leaving behind porous raw steel. This weakened steel rusts rapidly, especially in humid or coastal environments.

🔥 Rust = Flame Failure

As the burners corrode, they lose their calibration, and the flame changes from blue to orange. That’s not just cosmetic—it’s a sign of inefficient combustion.

  • Orange flames create excess infrared heat, damaging surrounding grill components.

  • This high heat accelerates the rusting process throughout the grill.

  • Worse still, orange flames emit carbon soot, which can settle on your food—ruining the taste and raising health concerns.

🔷 Predator's True Blue™ Burners: Built for High Heat and Longevity

Predator Grills uses True Blue™ aluminum burner technology, managed by our ETC™ system, to maintain precise burner temps at 500°F—cool enough to prevent breakdown but powerful enough for perfect grilling. The result?

  • Consistently clean, blue flames

  • No soot. No taste issues.

  • No rusted-out burners—ever.

  • Unmatched longevity in any climate
