Two Ovens. Smart Control. A Complete Outdoor Kitchen in One Island.
Six Dual-Tube burners across two independent cookboxes, iQue connected temperature control, a rear rotisserie burner with kit included, a 10,000 BTU side burner, and 304 stainless steel cabinetry — this is the outdoor kitchen that doesn't ask you to compromise.
The Broil King Imperial QS 690iJ is built for homeowners who want a finished outdoor kitchen, not a project. The dual-oven layout is the feature that sets it apart: two completely independent cookboxes — 500 sq. in. and 250 sq. in. — let you run a slow roast in one oven while searing steaks in the other, without either cook suffering for it. The main cookbox runs on Broil King's iQue system with Smoke, Roast, and Grill preset modes and two included electronic meat probes, so you're monitoring internal temps and managing heat with the confidence of a connected controller rather than guesswork. Six stainless steel Dual-Tube burners deliver 60,000 BTUs across 750 sq. in. of primary surface, with 1,030 sq. in. total when the warming rack is in use. Add a 15,000 BTU rear rotisserie burner with the premium kit already in the box, a 10,000 BTU range side burner for sauces and sides, built-in oven lights, illuminated knobs, and 304 stainless steel cabinetry with four storage drawers — and this island is as functional at 9 PM as it is at noon.

Deep Dive — Imperial QS 690iJ Features
►
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 690iJ 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. For shoppers comparing premium backyard cooking setups from leading manufacturers, browsing our outdoor living brands page can help you see where Broil King fits.

Who It's For — The Deck & Den Take
►
This island is for the person who has thought seriously about outdoor cooking and wants to stop compromising. Not someone looking for a grilling upgrade — someone building a proper outdoor kitchen and wanting a single unit that does everything without requiring a custom fabrication project around it. The dual-oven layout is the key selling point that most buyers underestimate until they've used it: running a brisket low and slow in the 250 sq. in. cookbox while searing vegetables in the 500 sq. in. main oven at a completely different temperature is genuinely useful, not just a marketing feature.
The iQue system adds real value for buyers who aren't experienced pit masters. The preset Smoke, Roast, and Grill modes with two included meat probes take the guesswork out of longer cooks — you're cooking with the confidence of temperature data rather than instinct alone.
Who might want to look elsewhere: if your outdoor space is smaller or you're not regularly cooking for a crowd, this island's footprint and price point may be more than you need. The Imperial S 590i or the Regal S 520i island are more appropriate for smaller setups. Also worth noting: the granite countertop is not included — budget for that addition if countertop finish matters to your outdoor kitchen design.
One practical note: this island ships as a significant freight item. Before ordering, confirm your delivery access — driveway width, gates, stairs — and plan for two people to be available for final positioning. This is not a one-person unboxing.
- Homeowners building a complete outdoor kitchen and wanting a single island that handles the full range — sear, smoke, roast, rotisserie, and stovetop — without add-ons
- Buyers who entertain large groups regularly and need the real capacity of 1,030 sq. in. total cooking space
- Cooks who want smart temperature control and guided presets rather than managing everything manually on a traditional gas grill
- Outdoor kitchen planners who want polished 304 SS cabinetry and integrated storage included — not a separate purchase
- Buyers who want natural gas or propane flexibility in a premium island format
- Evening entertainers who need oven lights and illuminated knobs for comfortable nighttime cooking

Frequently Asked Questions
►
What is the total BTU output of the Imperial QS 690iJ?►
The main burner output is 60,000 BTU across six stainless steel Dual-Tube burners. Additionally, the rear rotisserie burner adds 15,000 BTU and the range side burner adds 10,000 BTU, for a combined system output of 85,000 BTU when all burners are running.
What is the cooking area on the Imperial QS 690iJ?►
The Imperial QS 690iJ has 750 sq. in. of total primary cooking surface across both cookboxes — 500 sq. in. in the large cookbox and 250 sq. in. in the small cookbox. Including the stainless steel warming rack, total cooking space reaches 1,030 sq. in.
How do the two independent cookboxes work?►
The two cookboxes are completely independent of each other — separate lids, separate burner controls, and separate temperature environments. The large cookbox (500 sq. in.) is the primary cooking area with iQue control and all main burners. The small cookbox (250 sq. in.) operates independently so you can run different temperatures simultaneously — for example, low-and-slow in one oven while searing at high heat in the other.
What is the iQue system and what does it do?►
iQue is Broil King's connected burner control and temperature monitoring system on the main cookbox. It includes preset cooking modes — Smoke, Roast, and Grill — that guide temperature management for different cooking styles. Two electronic meat probes are included to monitor internal food temperatures. Broil King lists Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity through the Broil King Grilling App.
Is a rotisserie kit included with the Imperial QS 690iJ?►
Yes. The Imperial QS 690iJ includes both a 15,000 BTU rear rotisserie burner and a premium rotisserie kit in the box — no additional accessory purchase required for rotisserie cooking.
Is the granite countertop included?►
No. The granite countertop is not included and is sold separately. The island ships with the 304 stainless steel cabinetry, the grill, all burners, and all included accessories as listed — but the countertop finish requires a separate purchase.
What fuel options are available for the Imperial QS 690iJ?►
The Imperial QS 690iJ is available in both natural gas (NG) and liquid propane (LP). Select the correct fuel version for your outdoor kitchen connection at the time of purchase — the two versions are separate SKUs and are not interchangeable without a conversion kit.
What are the assembled dimensions of the Imperial QS 690iJ?►
The assembled island measures approximately 49.12" H × 118" W × 30.9" D. Listed weight is 1,008 lbs. for both LP and NG configurations.
What cabinet storage is included with the island?►
The island includes a six-burner 304 stainless steel cabinet with four storage drawers under the main grill, a side burner cabinet with tank storage for a propane tank (LP version), and a one-door / one-drawer storage cabinet. All cabinetry is 304 stainless steel construction.
What warranty covers the Imperial QS 690iJ?►
The Imperial QS 690iJ is covered by Broil King's manufacturer warranty, honored directly by Broil King. Broil King provides limited lifetime coverage on stainless steel/porcelain steel lid components and the stainless steel cookbox, plus 15 years on cast stainless/stainless steel grids, Dual-Tube burners, the side and rear burners, stainless steel Flav-R-Wave, stainless steel components, and remaining parts and paint. The warranty does not state a separate iQue/electronics term; labor, service calls, shipping, removal, and reinstallation are excluded. Warranty applies only to products purchased and used in the country of purchase.
How does the Imperial QS 690iJ compare to the Imperial S 690i island?►
The primary difference between the QS and S series in the Imperial Island line is the iQue smart control system. The Imperial QS 690iJ includes iQue temperature monitoring, Smoke/Roast/Grill preset modes, two electronic meat probes, and connected control — the Imperial S 690i does not include these smart features. Both share the dual-oven layout, the same burner configuration, and 304 stainless steel cabinetry. The QS models are the upgraded, connected version of the same island chassis.
Does this island require professional installation?►
The island arrives as a largely pre-assembled unit requiring final setup rather than full construction. However, the natural gas connection must be made by a licensed gas professional, and LP propane setup should follow the instructions in the owner's manual. Due to the size and weight of this island, plan for at least two people for unloading and final positioning. Broil King states that installation should be completed by a qualified professional. Gas and electrical connections must comply with applicable local and national codes.
