Two Independent Ovens. 1,030 Square Inches. A Complete Island Without the Complexity.
Six Dual-Tube burners across two separate cookboxes, a rear rotisserie burner with kit included, a 10,000 BTU side burner, and 304 stainless steel cabinetry — the dual-oven island for buyers who want full flexibility without the smart-control price premium.
The Broil King Imperial S 690iE is built for homeowners who want a serious dual-oven outdoor kitchen without paying for connected technology they don't need. Two completely independent cookboxes — 500 sq. in. and 250 sq. in. — let you run different foods at different temperatures simultaneously, without compromising either cook. Six stainless steel Dual-Tube burners put 60,000 BTUs across 750 sq. in. of primary cooking surface, with 1,030 sq. in. total when the warming rack is in use. The 15,000 BTU rear rotisserie burner and premium rotisserie kit are included in the box, so rotisserie cooking is available from day one. A 10,000 BTU range side burner handles sauces and sides. Professional cast stainless steel cooking grids, a 304 stainless steel Flav-R-Wave system, Linear-Flow valves with 180° precision control, Sure-Lite ignition, and built-in oven lights with illuminated knobs round out a grill that looks and performs like a finished outdoor kitchen centerpiece — and arrives as one.

Deep Dive — Imperial S 690iE 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.
Premium grilling performance with stainless steel cooking components
The Imperial S 690iE is built for buyers who want strong heat, durable cooking surfaces, and a more substantial grilling experience. Six stainless steel Dual-Tube burners, professional cast stainless steel grids, and a stainless steel Flav-R-Wave cooking system help deliver the kind of power and consistency expected from a premium outdoor kitchen centerpiece. The rear rotisserie burner and included premium rotisserie kit also expand what the grill can do beyond standard grilling.
Built-in storage, side burner convenience, and polished island styling
The S 690iE 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
►
The S 690iE is for buyers who want the dual-oven island experience without the premium that comes with iQue smart control. If you're a confident cook who doesn't need preset modes, electronic meat probes, or connected temperature monitoring guiding you through a cook — you just want a premium, full-featured dual-oven island with strong burners and complete cabinetry — this is the model that makes financial sense. You get identical cooking hardware to the QS 690iJ: same burner count, same cooking surfaces, same rotisserie and side burner setup, same 304 stainless steel cabinetry. What's absent is the iQue controller, preset modes, and the two included meat probes.
The two-oven layout remains the main reason to choose either the S or QS 690i over the smaller 590i models. Running a brisket at 225°F in the 250 sq. in. secondary oven while searing something else at high heat in the 500 sq. in. main oven is genuinely different from juggling heat zones on a single surface. If your outdoor cooking regularly involves timing multiple proteins or techniques simultaneously, that capability is worth the investment at this tier.
Who might want to look elsewhere: if you want connected temperature monitoring and guided cooking modes, step up to the QS 690iJ. If your budget or patio space doesn't support a dual-oven island, the Imperial S 590iE offers the same S-series quality in a single-oven, slightly smaller footprint. Also: this configuration includes a cabinet opening for a sink — sink and faucet are sold separately, so factor that into your outdoor kitchen planning and budget.
As with all the larger islands: this ships as freight. Confirm delivery access and have two people available for unloading and final positioning before your order arrives.
- Buyers who want dual independent ovens and full island cabinetry without the iQue smart-control price premium
- Experienced grillers who prefer to manage their own temperature without preset modes or connected monitoring
- Homeowners building a premium outdoor kitchen who want the same cooking hardware as the QS 690iJ at a lower entry point
- Anyone cooking for large gatherings who needs 1,030 sq. in. of total capacity across two separate temperature zones
- Buyers planning to add a sink to their outdoor kitchen — this configuration includes the cabinet opening (sink and faucet sold separately)
- Natural gas or propane setups — both fuel versions available

Frequently Asked Questions
►
What is the total BTU output of the Imperial S 690iE?►
Main burner output is 60,000 BTU across six stainless steel Dual-Tube burners. The rear rotisserie burner adds 15,000 BTU and the range side burner adds 10,000 BTU, for a combined system total of 85,000 BTU when all burners are in use.
What is the total cooking area on the Imperial S 690iE?►
The Imperial S 690iE has 750 sq. in. of primary cooking surface across both cookboxes — 500 sq. in. in the large cookbox and 250 sq. in. in the small cookbox. With the stainless steel warming rack, total cooking space is 1,030 sq. in.
How do the two independent cookboxes work on the S 690iE?►
The two cookboxes are completely independent — separate lids, separate burner controls, and separate temperature environments. The large cookbox (500 sq. in.) is the primary cooking area. The small cookbox (250 sq. in.) operates independently so you can run different temperatures simultaneously. For example, you can hold a roast low-and-slow in one oven while searing at high heat in the other, without either cook interfering with the other.
Does the Imperial S 690iE have iQue smart control?►
No. The Imperial S 690iE is the standard S series model without iQue connected temperature control, preset cooking modes, or included electronic meat probes. Heat management is done manually using the Linear-Flow valves with 180° precision control and the premium thermometers built into the lids. If you want iQue smart control with Smoke, Roast, and Grill preset modes and two included meat probes, the Imperial QS 690iJ is the equivalent model with those features.
Is a rotisserie kit included with the Imperial S 690iE?►
Yes. The Imperial S 690iE includes both a 15,000 BTU rear rotisserie burner and a premium rotisserie kit in the box — no additional accessory purchase required.
What is sold separately on the Imperial S 690iE?►
The granite countertop, stainless steel sink, and faucet are all sold separately. The island includes all cabinetry, the grill, all burners, and the included accessories listed above — but countertop, sink, and faucet require separate purchase. Budget for these if they are part of your outdoor kitchen plan.
What fuel options are available for the Imperial S 690iE?►
The Imperial S 690iE is available in both natural gas (NG) and liquid propane (LP). Select the correct fuel version 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 S 690iE?►
The assembled island measures 49.12" H × 106.3" W × 30.9" D and weighs 730 lbs. in both LP and NG configurations.
What cabinet storage is included with the S 690iE 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. Cabinet and base feature a premium stainless steel finish throughout.
What warranty covers the Imperial S 690iE?►
The Imperial S 690iE 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. 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 S 690iE compare to the Imperial QS 690iJ?►
Both are dual-oven, six-burner outdoor kitchen islands with the same 750 sq. in. primary surface, 1,030 sq. in. total, 60,000 BTU main output, rotisserie burner and kit, side burner, and 304 stainless steel cabinetry. The key difference is the control system: the QS 690iJ includes iQue connected temperature monitoring with Smoke, Roast, and Grill preset modes and two electronic meat probes included; the S 690iE does not. The S 690iE uses Linear-Flow valves and premium thermometers for manual temperature management. Choose the S 690iE if you're a confident cook who prefers manual control; choose the QS 690iJ if you want guided cooking with connected monitoring.
Does this island require professional installation?►
The island arrives largely pre-assembled and requires final setup rather than full construction. Natural gas connections must be made by a licensed gas professional. LP propane setup should follow the instructions in the owner's manual. If you are adding a sink (sold separately), sink plumbing connections should be handled by a licensed plumber. Due to the size and weight of this island, plan for at least two people for unloading and positioning. An Assembly Manual is linked in the Manuals & Documents section above.
