Broil King Imperial QS 590iE – Smart Outdoor Kitchen Grill Island
Smart iQue control, five Dual-Tube burners, and a fully finished 304 stainless steel island — everything you need to anchor a premium outdoor kitchen in one ready-to-cook package.
The Imperial QS 590iE is built for homeowners who want their outdoor kitchen to look and work like the real thing — without sourcing a grill head, a cabinet, and a side burner separately and hoping it all fits together. Five stainless steel Dual-Tube burners put 55,000 BTU across 625 sq. in. of primary cooking space, and the 875 sq. in. total — including the warming rack — gives you plenty of room to run a full spread. The iQue system in the main cookbox adds preset Smoke, Roast, and Grill modes plus two included electronic meat probes, so managing a long cook or a bigger cut is less guesswork than it used to be. Add a 15,000 BTU rear rotisserie burner with kit included, a 10,000 BTU side burner, built-in lights, and four storage drawers in a 304 stainless steel cabinet, and this island is genuinely complete from the moment it arrives.
What Sets the Imperial QS 590iE Apart
A finished outdoor kitchen island with smart connected control, five-burner performance, and 304 stainless steel construction throughout — including the accessories most grill islands charge extra for.

Deep Dive — Imperial QS 590iE›
Smart iQue control for easier, more confident grilling
The main cookbox uses Broil King's iQue burner temperature control and monitoring system, giving you a more guided cooking experience than a traditional gas grill island. Preset smoke, roast, and grill functions help simplify heat management, while the included electronic meat probes add more confidence when you are cooking larger cuts. If you want a premium grill island that feels easier to manage without losing performance, this setup makes a real difference.
Strong burner performance with room for everyday meals and entertaining
With five stainless steel Dual-Tube burners, 625 square inches of primary cooking space, and 875 square inches of total cooking space including the warming rack, the QS 590iE has the size and power to handle both weeknight dinners and larger gatherings. The side burner helps with sauces and sides, while the rear rotisserie burner expands what you can cook beyond standard grilling.
Built-in storage, side burner convenience, and polished island styling
The QS 590iE is more than a grill set into a cabinet. It is a full grill island setup with 304 stainless steel utility drawers, dedicated storage, a side burner for sauces and sides, and details that make evening cooking easier, including oven lights and illuminated control knobs. It gives outdoor kitchens a more finished, furniture-like feel than a bare built-in grill head alone, while still keeping performance front and center.
Who It's For — The Deck & Den Take›
The QS 590iE is the right call for homeowners who want a single-oven outdoor kitchen island that looks finished and actually works — not a freestanding grill wedged into a generic cabinet. The iQue system earns its place here: if you've ever pulled a roast off too early or overcooked a thick cut because you were guessing at internal temperature, the meat probes and preset modes will change your routine in a hurry.
If you regularly cook for large groups and find yourself wishing you could run two completely separate temperature zones at once, step up to the 690iE — the dual-oven layout is worth the difference for heavy entertainers. But if one large, well-controlled cooking surface is what you need, the 590iE delivers without the added complexity.
One thing to sort out before you order: the granite countertop, sink, and faucet are sold separately. Measure and budget for those before the island arrives — it's a lot easier to line everything up in advance than to source countertop material after the fact.
- Homeowners building or completing a dedicated outdoor kitchen space
- Hosts who want strong grilling performance and smart temperature monitoring in one island
- Buyers who want a rotisserie burner and kit included without a separate purchase
- Anyone who wants the finished, furniture-grade look of a true island over a basic built-in grill head in a cabinet
- Cooks who grill regularly and want illuminated knobs and oven lights for easy evening use

What stainless steel grade is used for the cabinet and cookbox?›

What storage does the QS 590iE include?›
The island includes four storage drawers in the main five-burner cabinet, a side burner cabinet with tank storage, and a one-door/one-drawer storage cabinet. All storage is part of the 304 stainless steel cabinet system.
Does the countertop, sink, and faucet come with the island?›

Does the QS 590iE have built-in lighting for nighttime grilling?›
Yes. The island includes built-in oven lights and illuminated control knobs, making it easier to monitor food and adjust settings after dark.
What does the Flav-R-Wave cooking system do?›

How does the ignition system work?›
The QS 590iE uses Sure-Lite electronic ignition for reliable push-button starts on all burners.
What is the Broil King Imperial QS 590iE warranty?›

Contact Broil King for warranty service and claims.
How does the QS 590iE compare to the QS 690iE?›
The primary difference is the oven layout. The QS 590iE has a single cookbox with five burners and 625 sq. in. of primary cooking space. The QS 690iE has two completely independent cookboxes — a 500 sq. in. large oven and a 250 sq. in. small oven — that can run at different temperatures simultaneously, plus six burners and 60,000 BTU of main output. If you regularly cook foods that need different heat levels at the same time, the 690iE offers that flexibility. For most homeowners, the 590iE's single large cooking zone is plenty.
