Broil King Imperial QS 690iH – Smart Outdoor Kitchen Grill Island
Two independent ovens, smart iQue control, and a fully finished 304 stainless steel island — the 690iH gives serious outdoor cooks a dual-zone setup that's ready to work from day one.
The Imperial QS 690iH is built for homeowners who want the kind of outdoor kitchen where two things can cook at once without compromise. Two completely separate cookboxes — 500 sq. in. and 250 sq. in. — run at entirely different temperatures simultaneously, so you can hold one zone at a gentle roast while the other runs full sear heat, without either interfering with the other. The iQue connected control system in the main cookbox brings preset Smoke, Roast, and Grill modes and two included electronic meat probes to the equation, so larger cuts and timed meals get the monitoring they need. Six stainless steel Dual-Tube burners deliver 60,000 BTU across 750 sq. in. of primary cooking space, a 15,000 BTU rear rotisserie burner and included kit handle the weekends, and a 304 stainless steel cabinet with four drawers, oven lights, and illuminated knobs rounds it all out.
What Sets the Imperial QS 690iH Apart
A premium dual-oven grill island with smart iQue connected control, six-burner performance, and 304 stainless steel construction throughout — including the accessories most islands charge extra for.

Deep Dive — Imperial QS 690iH›
Dual independent ovens for more flexible outdoor cooking
This is the kind of grill island that makes entertaining easier. With two completely separate cookboxes, you can run different foods at different temperatures at the same time instead of forcing everything onto one surface. That gives you more control for weeknight grilling, family cookouts, and bigger gatherings where timing matters. If you want one outdoor kitchen centerpiece that can handle both fast searing and slower roasting with less compromise, this layout makes a real difference.
Smart iQue control with premium grilling performance
The main cookbox uses Broil King's iQue burner control and monitoring system, giving you a more guided, connected cooking experience than a traditional gas grill island. Preset smoke, roast, and grill functions help simplify temperature management, while the included electronic meat probes add more confidence when you are cooking larger cuts. Combined with six stainless steel Dual-Tube burners, professional cast stainless steel grids, and a stainless steel Flav-R-Wave cooking system, this grill is designed for buyers who want strong heat, better control, and less guesswork.
Built-in storage, side burner convenience, and polished island styling
The QS 690iH is more than a grill head dropped 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 the performance front and center.
Who It's For — The Deck & Den Take›
The 690iH is for the homeowner who entertains at a scale where timing is the actual problem — not just more surface area. Two completely independent ovens mean you're not nudging food around to find a cooler spot or holding a finished protein at the edge while something else catches up. The iQue system and included meat probes make that kind of cook manageable rather than stressful.
If dual-zone control isn't something you'd actually use on a regular basis, the 590iH or another single-oven model in the QS family delivers the same iQue system, 304 stainless steel construction, and rotisserie setup with a smaller footprint. The 690iH justifies its size and price when you're genuinely filling both ovens.
Before ordering: both manual links in this listing are placeholders that need to be replaced — confirm the correct Owner's Manual and Assembly Manual PDFs with our team before publishing. The granite countertop, sink, and faucet are also sold separately, so build those into your budget and measurements before the island arrives.
- Homeowners building or anchoring a dedicated outdoor kitchen with serious dual-zone cooking capacity
- Hosts who regularly cook large or varied menus and need independent temperature control across two zones
- Buyers who want smart iQue temperature monitoring and meat probes built in without a separate purchase
- Anyone who wants the finished, furniture-grade look of a true dual-oven island over a single large grill setup
- Cooks who want a rear rotisserie burner and kit ready to use the day the island arrives

Frequently Asked Questions›
Does the Broil King Imperial QS 690iH run on propane or natural gas?›
The Imperial QS 690iH is available in both natural gas and liquid propane configurations. Confirm your fuel preference at the time of purchase.
What is the total BTU output of the QS 690iH?›
The main burners produce 60,000 BTU total. The rear rotisserie burner adds 15,000 BTU and the side burner adds 10,000 BTU, for a combined output of 85,000 BTU across all cooking zones.
What is the total cooking surface area?›
The primary cooking surface is 750 sq. in. With the stainless steel warming rack included, total cooking space reaches 1,030 sq. in. The large cookbox provides 500 sq. in. and the small cookbox provides 250 sq. in. of primary area.
How does the dual-oven design work — can both ovens run at the same time?›
Yes. The two cookboxes are fully independent, so you can run the large oven and the small oven at completely different temperatures simultaneously. This lets you sear at high heat in one zone while roasting or holding at a lower temperature in the other, without the two zones interfering with each other.
What is the iQue system and what does it do?›
iQue is Broil King's connected burner control and monitoring system built into the main cookbox. It includes preset cooking modes — Smoke, Roast, and Grill — that help manage temperature automatically, plus two electronic meat probes for tracking internal temperature without lifting the lid.
Is the rotisserie kit included, or is it sold separately?›
The premium rotisserie kit is included with the QS 690iH. The 15,000 BTU stainless steel rear rotisserie burner is also built in, so you can use it right out of the box without any additional purchase.
How many meat probes are included?›
Two electronic meat probes are included. They connect with the iQue system in the main cookbox to give you internal temperature readings while cooking.
What stainless steel grade is used for the cabinet and cookbox?›
The cabinet system, cookbox, and Flav-R-Wave flame tamers are all 304-grade stainless steel. The cookbox also features cast aluminum end caps. The cooking grids are professional cast stainless steel.
What storage does the QS 690iH include?›
The island includes four storage drawers in the main six-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?›
No. The granite countertop, stainless steel sink, and faucet are sold separately. Measure and budget for those items before installation to complete the island look.
Does the QS 690iH 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?›
The 304 stainless steel Flav-R-Wave system sits between the burners and the cooking grids, acting as a flame tamer that distributes heat evenly and vaporizes drippings to add flavor back into the food.
How does the QS 690iH compare to the QS 690iE, 690iF, or 690iG?›
All four models share the same dual-oven layout, six Dual-Tube burners, 60,000 BTU main output, 750 sq. in. primary cooking surface, iQue control system, and 304 stainless steel construction. The suffix — iE, iF, iG, iH — typically indicates a fuel configuration or regional variant. Confirm the specific distinction with our team or the Broil King spec sheets to ensure you're ordering the right version for your setup and fuel type.
What is the Broil King Imperial QS 690iH warranty?›
Covered by Broil King's limited manufacturer warranty: limited lifetime coverage on the stainless steel/porcelain steel lid components and stainless steel cookbox; 15 years on cast stainless/stainless steel grids, Dual-Tube burners, side burner, rear burner, stainless steel Flav-R-Wave, stainless steel components, and remaining parts and paint warranty, honored directly by the manufacturer.
