Gas grill GG501P

Outdoor Gas Grill with Built-In Pizza Oven

The Blaupunkt GG501P is a feature-rich outdoor gas grill designed for versatile outdoor cooking. Combining 5 gas burners with a total output of over 20 kW, a built-in double-chamber pizza oven with a thermometer, cast iron grates and a SUS430 stainless steel body, this grill becomes a complete culinary station for any garden, terrace or patio.

The Blaupunkt GG501P stands apart from other gas grills with its unique pizza-baking capability – a built-in double-level pizza oven complete with a 29.6 cm diameter pizza stone and its own dedicated thermometer. This is a function previously reserved for dedicated pizza ovens, now available in a multifunctional outdoor gas grill for home and garden use.

The grill is aimed at demanding users who want precise temperature control, durable materials, a large cooking surface and the ability to prepare a wide range of dishes – from steaks and vegetables to authentic Neapolitan-style pizza straight from the garden.

Why Choose the Blaupunkt GG501P? – 8 Key Reasons

1. Five Independent Burners – Full Control Over Heat Zones

The GG501P features a 3 + 2 configuration of main gas burners rated at 3.6 kW each, plus a side burner rated at 2.5 kW. Independent control of each zone lets you sear at high heat and gently simmer sauces at the same time. The side burner acts as a separate cooking station – ideal for a pot, soup, or garlic butter alongside the main grill.

2. Built-In Pizza Oven with Stone – Unique in Its Class

The most distinctive feature of the Blaupunkt GG501P is its built-in double-level pizza oven with a dedicated thermometer. The included 29.6 cm diameter pizza stone absorbs and evenly releases heat, recreating the conditions of a professional wood-fired oven for a crispy base. The oven operates independently of the main grilling chamber, so you can grill and bake simultaneously. At temperatures up to 420°C, a pizza bakes in 4–7 minutes.

3. Cast Iron Grates – Deep Grill Marks and the Maillard Effect

Cast iron accumulates heat and maintains a stable, high surface temperature even after placing cold ingredients, producing the Maillard effect – deep caramelisation of the outer layer of meat and vegetables and characteristic grill marks. Cast iron grates are highly resistant to heat and, with proper care (seasoning), last for many years.

4. SUS430 Stainless Steel – Durability and Weather Resistance

The lid, control panel and lower cabinet doors are made of SUS430 ferritic stainless steel, which offers excellent resistance to corrosion, oxidation and high temperatures. The SUS430 body will not fade or rust, and is far easier to clean than powder-coated steel.

5. Enamelled Flame Deflectors – Even Heat, Easy Cleaning

Each main burner is covered by an enamelled flame deflector (flame tamer). The deflectors protect the burners from dripping fat, distribute heat evenly across the full grate surface and vaporise meat drippings to add a lightly smoky flavour. The enamelled surface is easy to clean and corrosion-resistant.

6. Grease Management System – Drip Tray with Removable Catch Cup

The GG501P incorporates a well-designed grease collection system. Beneath the cooking chamber sits a pull-out drip tray with a removable catch cup underneath. Fat drips gravitationally through the tray directly into the cup, eliminating any dripping onto the terrace or garden. The cup can be easily removed, emptied and washed without dismantling any other parts – making maintenance significantly easier.

7. Lower Cabinet for Gas Cylinder

The grill has a built-in lower cabinet with stainless steel doors that holds a propane-butane gas cylinder. Most commonly a 5 kg steel cylinder is used, though a 11 kg or composite cylinder is also compatible. Enclosing the cylinder improves the grill’s appearance and protects it from direct sunlight. The cabinet also stores the regulator, gloves and other accessories.

8. Mobility and Ergonomics – 4 Wheels, 2 with Brakes

Despite its substantial footprint (161 x 58.5 x 117 cm), the Blaupunkt GG501P is fully mobile thanks to four wheels, two of which have brakes. The side shelf adjacent to the main cooking chamber and the ability to use the side burner lid as an additional work surface enhance ergonomics during cooking.

How to Use the Blaupunkt GG501P – User Guide

Lighting and Pre-Heating

Before first use, assemble the grill following the instruction manual (estimated assembly time: 60–90 minutes). Connect the gas cylinder using the included regulator. Pre-heat for 10–15 minutes with all burners on maximum and the lid closed until the lid thermometer reads 250–300°C. Then reduce the burners and set your desired heat zones.

Grilling on Cast Iron Grates

Before each use, lightly coat the cast iron grates with a high-smoke-point oil (e.g. rapeseed or grapeseed). Place meat on the hot grate and do not move it for the first 2–3 minutes to allow a crust and grill marks to form. Rotating 90° on the same side creates a crosshatch effect. Cook poultry and fish at lower heat with the lid closed.

Baking Pizza in the Oven Chamber

Place the pizza stone in the oven chamber and pre-heat for at least 20–30 minutes with the oven doors closed at medium burner heat. The optimal pizza baking temperature is 350–420°C – monitor it on the oven thermometer. Slide the prepared pizza directly onto the hot stone using the included pizza spatula. Baking time at high temperature is 4–7 minutes.

Side Burner – Cooking on an Open Flame

The 2.5 kW side burner is a fully independent heat source for a pot or pan. Perfect for making sauces, soups, boiling beans, cooking corn or preparing garlic butter – all in parallel with grilling on the main surface.

Grease Management System – How to Use

Before each grilling session, make sure the catch cup is correctly positioned under the drip tray. After grilling, once the grill has cooled, remove the cup, empty it of collected fat and wash it with warm water and washing-up liquid. Emptying the cup regularly prevents overflow and maintains hygienic cooking conditions.

Assembly and First Start-Up – Step by Step

1. Unpack all parts and identify them according to the instruction manual.
2. Assemble the lower cabinet frame, fit the doors and attach the wheels (braked wheels at the front).
3. Place the grill body on the frame and attach the side shelf.
4. Install the burners, enamelled deflectors and cast iron grates.
5. Place the drip tray and catch cup in position.
6. Connect the gas regulator to the cylinder (propane-butane LPG).
7. Check all connections for leaks using soapy water.
8. Carry out the first light-up and season the cast iron grates.

Maintenance and Cleaning – Blaupunkt GG501P

Cast Iron Grates

After each use, while still warm, scrub food residue with a wire brush and rub lightly with vegetable oil. Do not wash in a dishwasher – hand-wash with warm water and minimal or no detergent.

Drip Tray and Catch Cup

Empty the catch cup after every grilling session. Both the tray and cup can be washed in warm, soapy water or in the dishwasher. Regular cleaning is essential for hygiene and to prevent grease fires.

Stainless Steel Body

A damp cloth with washing-up liquid is sufficient for everyday care of the SUS430 body. Avoid abrasive pads and chlorine-based cleaners. Use a dedicated stainless steel cleaner for stubborn marks, applied in the direction of the grain.

Pizza Stone – Care

The pizza stone must never come into contact with water or detergent – it absorbs moisture, which can cause it to crack during heating. After each use, once fully cooled, clean it with a scraper or dry brush. Black discolouration is natural and indicates correct use.
